Chain-link stays the budget option — but a few factors move the price more than people expect.
Chain-link is consistently the least expensive fencing material to install, which is why it's a common choice for large properties, side yards, or dog runs where a lower-cost boundary is the priority over privacy or curb appeal. The per-linear-foot price still swings based on a few specific factors, though.
A taller fence and a heavier-gauge (thicker) fabric both add material cost. A standard 4-foot residential height in a lighter gauge sits at the lower end of the range; a 6-foot fence in a heavier commercial-grade gauge costs meaningfully more per foot.
Galvanized chain-link is the standard, budget option. Vinyl-coated adds a modest per-foot premium but holds up better cosmetically over time and resists the wear pattern that bare galvanized wire shows in Beaverton's wet climate — see our comparison of galvanized vs. vinyl-coated chain-link if that page exists on your build, or ask us directly for the current cost gap.
A flat, easily accessible yard installs faster and cheaper than a sloped lot, a yard with limited equipment access, or a line that has to work around existing landscaping, trees, or utility lines. Labor, not material, is usually where a sloped or obstructed install adds the most to the total.
Per-linear-foot fence pricing typically doesn't include gates — a walk gate or drive gate is priced and installed separately, and adds meaningfully to a project's total beyond the linear-foot fence cost alone.
Chain-link remains the most economical fencing option for most Beaverton properties, but height, gauge, coating, and terrain can move the per-foot price more than people expect going in. A site visit is the only reliable way to get an accurate number for your specific yard.
