Hi, Don!
Having done the dog park fence, $10,000 for a good chain link fence is not
unreasonable. However, prices are going down and it also depends on the
quality of the fence (here in Phoenixville, we did 2.2 acres and had to
stretch a grant that I wrote, so the quality of our fence is not

very well stated, agreed. so id put the figure at priceless,
especially as the price of food becomes outrageous, and people will
have to start deciding between golf courses, ball fields and eating
food that doesnt cost $20 a pound.
