Cost and Construction of Barbed Wire and Chain Link Fences

One of the most convenient protective devices we use for land and property is a fence. This is superior to a wall in many respects. People can use a chain link fence to mark off property as their own. The fence shows others that the enclosed property or structure belongs to them. They have been around for over 2000 years since the time wire existed.

Many sizes of mesh fences

We have many kinds of chain link fences but the most common one is the hexagonal mesh fence. This has galvanized steel wires knitted to one another to form hexagonal spaces. These spaces range from 1½ inches to 6 inches. The very small meshes are used to house chicken and similar such livestock. The bigger wire mesh fences are used for a variety of purposes from fencing for houses to guard fences for cattle and goats.

You can find out from the Chain Link Fence Manufacturers about the various types they have and then order the one you want. There are options like welded wire mesh fencing for providing better security. The gauge of wires used for this type of fence is more. Welding helps to improve the strength of the fence considerably. You also have a cheaper grade of woven netting fencing.

Estimating the cost

A mile-long stretch of woven wire fencing will cost $10,204. This works out to around $2 per linear foot of fencing. The labor cost for the barbed wire is $16.20 while that for woven wire fencing is $15.20. The cost of the fencing will increase when the gauge of the wire used increases. One can have double strand fencing when one needs more protection. Also, one may add concertina coils over the regular fencing to prevent anyone from jumping over it.

Barbed wire fence cost in India

People use fencing for one other purpose. That is to see what is happening on the other side. If you had a solid wall around your property, you will not be able to see what is going on around and outside it. With a chain link fence, you are able to do just that while maintaining your privacy. It keeps out unwanted people and animals so all the people on your property remain in peace. If you need a chain link fence, contact the Chain Link Fence Manufacturers by going to their website.

The costs of barbed wire fencing in India is much lower at 45 INR per running meter. The labor cost is also much cheaper at 300 INR per day. So, when one considers 4 days work for fencing one acre of land, the total cost works out to be 26,200 INR. We estimate that we need a hole every 8 feet for a 200 x 200 square plot. We use 4 rows of wiring for completing the fencing.

While both barbed wire fencing and chain link fencing serve the same purpose, the latter is preferred for domestic use. People use them to keep children from wandering off and to keep cattle from getting on to their property. Barbed wire is of more use for industrial and large farm applications.
