Chain Link Fencing

Hi John,

Poles: Suggested to go for one pole for every 8 running feet and two supporting poles for every 10 poles and at the corners. So, you can calculate the number of poles needed. When we did recently in Hyderabad, every stone of 7ft height costed Rs 170/-

Wires:-

Chainlink: We went ahead with Tatawire as we were told that it is rust proof. They charged Rs 8.50/- for sqft. You can calculate it for your needs. Running Feet X Height X price/sqft

GI Wire: This is needed to tie the chainlink wire to the poles. They charge based on the kilos. I don’t remember the price.

Barbed wire: Based on my personal experience, two or three lines of barbed wire is also needed even if we go for chainlink to support the chainlink. But defintely one line at bottom to stop wildbores etc from pushing the chainlink in making a way. This is also charged based on weight. Around Rs 80/- per KG. One KG of wire stretches to 10-12 running feet.

Labor charges: For poles + for spreading the wire. Some people charge it per pole basis and some charge it per running feet. In our case they charged per pole. For digging the pit & standing up the pole, they charged Rs 40/- per pole and for spreading the wire they charged Rs 30/-

Hope this information is useful to you.

From my experience - Simple barbed wire fencing with thorny plants on the borders would be cheaper and more effective though it takes some time (for thorny plants to grow).
