Your best bet will be getting some bids locally. With that footage I would imagine the bids may vary greatly from one another. Contact both comercial and residential companies. You may find someone to offer discounted labor services as they can probably use the job as a tax break.

I do not install chain link so I cant help you with the terminoligy.

When I worked for Pensacola's Parks & Rec, I was responsible for building 3 dog parks. We used 6', 9 gauge core green vinyl fabric.Anything of smaller gauge will not last. Use schedule 40 pipe for rails and line posts. We had two sets of 5' gates allowing for our Tree Crew trucks entrance into the park for maintenance and to keep sneaky dogs from escaping. Inbetween the gate area we poured concrete to stop erosion and tunneling under the gates. We also had separate areas for small dogs. Had an incident where a Rot bit the head off a Pomeranian. Bad day for dog parks when that happened. Make sure a water source is available and seating for humans. We also used Dogipots dispensers for poop bags and had trash cans spaced throughout the area. At the water dog park, a shower was also installed. If you need pictures I could take them and send them to you. You will also want to develop a set a rules and post them at the entrances.

Thanks b
She has a pretty good handle on the layout and rules.
I'm just trying to help out with the fencing.

Sounds like a trip to the nearest dog park is in order for my in-laws' dog.
