While it doesn’t have the style of other fences, a chain link fence is a reliable and sturdy enclosure that requires little in the way of care and maintenance. When it does need a facelift a coat of paint will see it through many more years of service. The fence is built as a system of metal posts and rails that fit together, with mesh stretched across its frame.

A painting contractor will charge $268, including labor and material, to prime and paint 150 square feet of fence, such as one that is 3-feet-high and 50-feet-long with a gallon of paint.
