Chain link fence installation
Galvanized and black or green vinyl-coated chain link for yards, dog runs, commercial lots and large perimeters — usually the most economical way to fence a lot of ground.
Chain link options
- Galvanized — the lowest-cost installed fence option
- Black or green vinyl-coated — blends into landscaping and adds a protective coating over the wire
- Privacy slats — added screening where allowed
- Residential and commercial gauges — heavier wire and framework for commercial and security fencing
- Gates — walk, double drive, slide and cantilever gates; automation available
Where chain link makes sense
- Dog runs and pet containment
- Budget-conscious backyard fencing
- Large lots and long perimeters
- Commercial and industrial sites, storage yards and utility areas
- Sport courts and backstops

How a chain link project works
- Text or call — tell us the city, what you want fenced and roughly how long the run is. Photos help.
- Free on-site estimate — we measure, check gates, access, the existing fence, pool and HOA requirements.
- Written proposal — materials, height, gates, removal and permit items itemized. Quotes are typically ready within 2–48 hours of the visit.
- HOA approval (if you have one) — we provide the fence specifications your association asks for.
- Permit — we prepare and submit the permit paperwork your city or county requires.
- Utility locate — required utility marking is completed before we dig. Let us know about private sprinkler, lighting or pool lines.
