Q: What’s the difference between a chain link fence and a wood fence?

A: Chain link fencing costs $10-$20 per linear foot and lasts 20-30 years with minimal upkeep. Wood fencing costs $15-$45 per linear foot and typically lasts 10-20 years but requires regular staining and sealing. Chain link offers superior durability and cost-effectiveness, especially for large areas-. Wood provides more privacy and aesthetic appeal at higher upfront and maintenance costs-. The Fence Depot carries both options—we’ll help you choose the right one for your needs and budget.
