Chain Link Fence Estimating Software
Price fabric, posts, and top rail by gauge and coating, and quote chain link jobs in minutes.
Chain Link Pricing Has More Variables Than a Flat Rate
Gauge, coating, and height each change the cost. SmartFence prices them as separate inputs, not one average.
Materials by Gauge and Coating
Chain link cost varies more than most fence types, and the software reflects that:
- Galvanized or vinyl and black coated fabric
- Line posts, terminal posts, and top rail
- Tension wire, ties, and gate hardware
Height and Style Options
Configure the heights and styles you actually install:
- Common heights such as 4 foot, 5 foot, and 6 foot
- Residential and commercial-grade fabric
- Privacy slats, if you offer them
A Quoting Flow Homeowners Can Use
Give homeowners and property managers a price without a callback:
- They draw the fence line on satellite view or enter measurements
- They select gauge, coating, and height
- You receive it as a qualified, budget-confirmed lead
Corner and Gate Posts Are Priced Separately
A flat per-foot rate for chain link tends to underprice jobs with more corners or gates, since terminal posts and hardware cost more than line posts along a straight run. SmartFence prices terminal posts, corner posts, and gate openings on their own, so the total reflects the actual layout instead of an average.
Style and height selections are built into the same quoting flow homeowners already use for other fence types.

What does chain link fence estimating software calculate?
It calculates line posts, terminal posts, top rail, fabric, tension wire, and ties needed for a chain link run, based on total linear footage, height, and gauge.
Does SmartFence price galvanized and black coated chain link separately?
Yes. Galvanized and vinyl or black coated chain link have different material costs, and SmartFence can be configured to price each coating and gauge you offer separately, along with common heights such as 4 foot, 5 foot, and 6 foot.
Does the software account for gates and corner posts?
Yes. Terminal posts at corners, ends, and gate openings require different hardware than line posts along a straight run, and SmartFence prices these separately rather than applying one flat rate across the whole job.
