Chain link is the economical fence for Albany back yards, dog runs and long property lines, and it lets wind and floodwater pass through rather than pushing against them.
Options
- Galvanized or vinyl-coated mesh
- 4 to 6 feet
- Walk and drive gates
- Privacy slats
Front yards
The screening section of the zoning ordinance limits chain link in front yards and yards next to a street to M districts. If you want chain link facing a street, ask Planning & Development first.
Price
Angi's national range is $8 to $40 per linear foot.
Digging
Georgia 811 asks for a locate ticket at least 3 business days before digging; it's free.
