Chain-Link & Metal
The chain-link & metal cluster: chain-link fence cost, a chain-link material calculator (line/terminal posts, top rail, mesh, tension bars & ties), aluminum fence cost, wrought-iron / steel fence cost, and a metal fence panel count. Line-post spacing 10 ft and top-rail sticks 10.5 ft are labeled typicals.
Planning estimate: this is a planning estimate from the numbers you enter — not a bid or a contract. Fence pricing depends on material grade, height, terrain, post setting, gates, tear-out and local labor. Get itemized written quotes from licensed, insured fencing contractors before you commit.
Confirm panel/picket dimensions and bag yield against your product and order a little extra (~10%) for waste, corners, terrain and uneven runs. Panel sizes, picket widths, gaps and bag yields vary by product and brand.

Metal fencing spans the whole price range. Chain-link is the value option — its material list (terminal posts, top rail, mesh, tension bars) is its own vocabulary, which the chain-link material calculator counts part by part. Aluminum fence cost sits mid-range and is the practical modern stand-in for ornamental iron; true wrought-iron and steel tops the per-foot scale.
Panelized metal — ornamental sections or corrugated metal sheets in a frame — counts by coverage width with the metal fence panel count; the corrugated metal fence guide walks the sheet, post and girt math for that build, and the aluminum & wrought-iron guide compares the ornamental options.
Every Chain-Link & Metal tool is calculated server-side — visible immediately — with its formula, a worked example and a reference table, and works on the measurements you take and the prices you enter from your own quotes. Background reading is in the guides.
