i think that is the welded fence and we did look at that but you still have to buy all the posts and brackets so it actually is about the same price as the chain link. Sorry guys i'm not trying to shoot them all down i have looked at wood, chain link, lattuce, picket, chicken wire,welded, and some that could never afford! i am just being a big crybaby now lol i really need to smack myself and just get over it lol. LOL i was so desperate last week i tryied to go get some of that orange plastic constrction fenceing hahahaha i am so dumb lol

are you putting it in yourself?

Gingergirlsmom · 05-29-2007, 08:15 PM

Oh my. This is tough. Things are so ridiculously expensive. I know this sounds goofy, but we put up a white vinyl privacy fence that we couldn't afford.

It took us like 3 years....we did as much as we could afford each year. While it was happening, I hated it! But now that it's done (it's been done since LAST spring) I can't even remember what it was like without it. I'm sure the neighbors werent thrilled that it took so long, but it all worked out in the end. Of course, we couldn't really use it for a year or two, but eventually it was there.

LOL i am tempted to do this as well lol.

Marcellacml · 05-29-2007, 08:21 PM

then just buy those plain wooden posts at home depot and the cheapest link fence you can find thats what we did for lillian its not the prettiest but it works

Little Bit · 05-29-2007, 08:21 PM

Maybe you could just fence in the part near the front door and not go all the way to the street (with the chain link). There are people on my street who have done this. It doesn't have to look bad.

In my back yard we also have a smaller run outside the doggie door that we fenced in with the welded fence and the "farm" type poles. It doesn't look good, but it does the job. Someday I hope to get a pretty vinyl fence, but in the meantime I am glad my babies are safe.

Bama Yorkie Mom · 05-29-2007, 08:40 PM

last year we had a chain link fence put up. they charged us by the amount of fence it took. We didnt get the best, we got the medium but its plenty strong. the smaller the diamonds the stronger the fence. it started at 1 1/4 inch, then 2 inches then 2 3/8 inches. we took the 2 inch diamonds. So maggie could get her head thru the diamond and probably her body but I never let her get that far but I knew she was gonna be a 5 or so lb dog and she could go out between the end post and the gate. anyway, its 4 feet tall with 2 corner post, 6 end post 2 (4ft) walk thru gates and he left us enough for my hubby to put across that side of our deck to close up under it and it cost us 865.80 and so worth it. It is a nice fence and sturdy and i dont know what I would do without it. I think ours was 137 feet over all . we feel like we got out moneys worth. maybe we didnt but they sure did a great job and concreted the post real deep in the ground and the fence bottom in in there where they would have a hard time ever digging under it.

It is such a pain to try to take them out on leashes because i have my 2 year old who either gets into everything when i'm out or he is out with me and is running off

and the dogs take twice the time on leashes. I am so irritated now because i thought i was going to get it on the 5th and now we can't

. I have tried searching everywhere to find the lowest price but it will cost us $600.00 to do it ourselves aaggghhhh i hate this! Sorry i just have to vent. why the heck is chain link so expensive!! Plus i have to buy an extra 42 feet of fencing because i am over by 12 ft and they won't just sell me the 12 ft

SORRY AGAIN I JUST REALLY NEED TO VENT THANKS FOR LISTENING TO ME!!

Amber,
For that extra 12 ft, have you tried looking someplace like Craigslist? People are always trying to get rid of extra stuff taking up space. You might can find it someplace like that.

For example, here's what's in my local craigslist:
