1. What is this item?

Chain-link fencing is a woven wire mesh fence made from galvanized or PVC-coated steel wires, often installed on boundary perimeters for enhanced visibility and moderate security. It’s a popular alternative to barbed wire fencing, especially where aesthetics and animal containment are important.

2. How is the Quantity Estimated?

Quantity is measured in running meters based on the perimeter of the farm. Height of the mesh (typically 1.5 to 2.1 meters) also influences the material requirement and cost. For corner bracing and gate sections, extra material and reinforcement may be factored in.

3. What are the Cost Components?

• GI or PVC-coated chain-link mesh (standard aperture: 2 to 4 inches)

• RCC or MS support poles (spacing 8–10 feet)

• Horizontal line wires (top and bottom support)

• Tension wire, binding wire, and tie clamps

• Corner and gate reinforcements

• Concrete work for pole bases

• Skilled labor for stretching, tying, and fixing mesh

• Transport and supervision overheads

4. What are the Going Rates & Per Unit Cost?

As of 2025, turnkey rates (material + labor + fixing) vary based on height and coating:

• ₹320–₹420 per running meter for 1.8 m height GI mesh

• ₹400–₹500 per running meter for PVC-coated or heavy-gauge mesh

If you assume ₹380/m for 1.8m GI chain link, and have 720 meters of boundary: Total Cost = ₹380 × 720 = ₹2,73,600

Per running meter cost = ₹380
