I was interested in having a 8 foot chain link installed last time I was there, (quick solution to neighbors from hell) , and I've built plenty of em.. Mine was only 100' it takes two days to gather materials, lay it out, dig the holes (unless it's solid lava, pour really quick-dry concrete, stretch it and wa-la your about done.. I thought at most because Hawaii is more expensive, $1,000 and maybe 1.500 tops? wrong,,, try $3,500.. metal is extremely high and installers want to make double the money on the install.. kind of nice, if there's no solid lava and everything goes fast, smooth, cheap price for this meant two installers, (don't take a genius) make almost 2 grand for two days work.
Obviously if there's solid lava, it gets a lot higher.. you have to rent a drilling jack hammer at 130 a day and pray.
It's been some time, over ten years but, my crew and I used to install it with materails at $1-3 per foot.. while i aint checked here in the midwest, , it can't be more than 5-7 now..
$35 per foot is just nutz..
Check around though, or bring your own fence, ha, ha.. the installers can be found when hunting in the big island for 'metal and or wire products'..
