A chain link fence remains one of the most cost-effective ways to secure a residential lot under the desert sun. Yet between posts, mesh gauges, gates, and coatings, material lists can spiral quickly. CountBricks brings clarity and speed to every project, generating precise supply takeoffs and live pricing for Las Vegas homeowners and contractors—simply by talking through the site layout.
• Affordability: Material cost per linear foot beats most wood or vinyl alternatives
• Heat resistance: Galvanized or PVC-coated steel stands up to 110°F summers
• HOA flexibility: Many master-planned communities specify chain link for side and rear yards
• Rapid installation: Two technicians can set 150 ft in a single day when supplies arrive pre-cut
Mesh fabric – Standard 11-gauge for residential, 9-gauge for added security. Heights run 4 ft to 8 ft.
Line posts – Typically 1⅞″ diameter, set 10 ft on center. In rocky soils west of Summerlin, sleeve anchors may replace concrete.
Terminal posts – 2⅜″ diameter for strength at corners, gates, and ends.
Tension & brace bands – Hold the fabric tight against terminal posts.
Top rail – 1⅜″ tubing slid through loop caps for a clean, rigid finish.
Gate kits – Welded or bolt-together frames with hinges, latches, and cane bolts.
Coatings – Hot-dip galvanized is baseline; black or desert-tan vinyl coatings blend with stucco color palettes.
1. Material grade: Residential vs. commercial mesh gauges affect price by up to 35%.
2. Post setting depth: Caliche pockets in Northwest Las Vegas often require deeper augering.
3. Permit rules: In unincorporated Clark County, fences over 6 ft need engineering, increasing hardware counts.
4. Delivery logistics: Narrow cul-de-sacs in Centennial Hills may demand smaller trucks and offload charges.

When the Moreno family purchased a 7,000 sq ft corner lot in Henderson, they needed a fast, affordable barrier for their dogs. Traditional spreadsheets put the project at 410 linear feet of fencing—yet totals from three suppliers were inconsistent by nearly $1,200. The Morenos opened the CountBricks mobile app, walked the perimeter, and spoke the layout in less than four minutes. Our AI produced a takeoff showing:
• 395 linear feet of 11-gauge, 5 ft vinyl-coated mesh (15 ft saved by removing redundancies)
• 43 line posts, 6 terminal posts, and 2 dual-swing gates
• Concrete depth adjustments for two washout areas flagged on satellite imagery
The automated quote totaled $4,880 in materials—a 21% reduction versus the highest manual bid. Delivery was booked through a preferred CountBricks supplier, arriving on-site within 48 hours.
• Precision counts: Even a 2% measurement error can add hundreds in surplus mesh and posts.
• Local data matters: CountBricks’ Las Vegas price feed reflected a weekend steel surcharge that competing quotes missed.
• Speed wins HOA approvals: The Morenos attached the CountBricks spec sheet to their application and received same-day sign-off because every part number matched municipal standards.
