# How to Determine How Much Galvanized Chain-Link Fencing You Need
Determining how much galvanized chain link fence you need to secure your land is not a difficult task if you are aware of the boundary lines of your property. Galvanized chain link fences have a zinc coating on the wire. Often this wire is made of steel or iron. The coating inhibits rust on the fencing, thus enabling it to look attractive and protect your property for many years. This type of fencing is durable, prevents trespassing and provides security for small children and pets in your yard.
Things You'll Need
- Measuring tape
- Yard stakes
- Orange fluorescent paint or flags

1
Mark the boundary lines on your property with stakes.
-
2
Squirt a spray of orange fluorescent paint on one end of many yard stakes. Let the stakes dry. These indicate where the actual galvanized fencing goes on the landscape.
-
3
Position stakes with the orange markings or flags 4 inches toward the inside of your land. Do this all along the perimeter of your property where you want the fencing. This prevents you from installing the galvanized fencing and any posts on adjacent properties.

Ask someone to hold the end of the measuring tape as you stretch it from one orange-marked stake or flag to the next. Write down the measurements and add them up to determine the amount of galvanized fencing your property requires.
