Chain-link
Chain-link fence installation.
Galvanized or black-vinyl chain-link for backyards, dog runs, jobsites, and commercial perimeters. Any height, any gauge.
The workhorse fence
Chain-link fence: the most footage for the money.
If you need to enclose a big area and you don't need privacy, chain-link is almost always the answer. Nothing else gets you that much linear footage at that price point. It's the reason it dominates jobsites, commercial perimeters, warehouse yards, and any residential lot where you're fencing acres instead of a backyard.
The catch is that plenty of installers cut corners because it's a "cheap" fence in their heads. Line posts too far apart, tension bars not pulled tight, top rail sagging between posts, gates that don't line up. A poorly-installed chain-link fence looks worse than no fence — and once the fabric goes slack it never really recovers.
We set posts to depth, run continuous top rail, pull the tension so the fabric stays flat and drum-tight, and hang gates so the latch actually meets. It takes a little longer than what a corner-cutter would quote, and the fence looks like it belongs there for the next twenty years.
Applications
Chain-link fencing for jobsites, yards, and commercial.
On commercial and industrial jobs we run 6-, 8-, and 12-foot galvanized chain-link with heavy 9-gauge fabric and 2-inch line posts. Add barbed wire arms on top and you've got a real perimeter — the kind that meets insurance and OSHA requirements, not the wobbly stuff you see wrapped around a rental site.
For residential yards and dog runs we usually go 4 to 6 feet with 11-gauge fabric, most often in black vinyl coating. Black vinyl chain link visually disappears against grass and treelines, so you get the containment without the "chain-link look" people associate with jobsites.
Ball fields, tennis courts, and batting cages get 10- and 12-foot runs with heavier-gauge fabric and top-rail plus middle-rail bracing so the whole structure holds shape under ball impact. We've done a lot of these and there's a right way to brace them that keeps the fabric flat.
Options
Chain-link fence upgrades worth considering.
Privacy slats slide into the fabric vertically and give you 75–90% opacity depending on the slat style. It's a fraction of the cost of a real privacy fence, and on a commercial site or a rental it's often the right answer — you get the sight-line block without the price tag.
Bottom tension wire (instead of a rail) is a small upgrade that keeps the fabric flush to grade so animals can't push under it. On dog runs and livestock enclosures this is worth every penny. On slopes we can also add a middle rail to keep the fabric from bellying out between posts.
Whether it's a hundred feet around a dog run or a half-mile around a facility, send us the details and we'll price it out.
