Chain Link fencing
Practical fencing that lasts.
Chain link is the workhorse of fencing: strong, secure, and the most affordable way to enclose a yard or site. It's the go-to for keeping pets and kids safely contained without blocking light or views.
The spec that decides how long it lasts is gauge, and it runs backwards from what most people expect—a lower number means thicker wire. Residential chain link is typically 11-gauge; commercial and security work uses 9-gauge, which is meaningfully heavier steel. If you're comparing two quotes and one is unusually cheap, gauge and mesh size are the first place to look, because they're the easiest things to quietly downgrade.
It comes galvanized (silver) or black vinyl-coated for a sleeker, more residential look that blends into landscaping. Add privacy slats or mesh anywhere you want to block sightlines.
Styles & options
Popular chain link styles.
A few of the ways we build chain link fencing—tell us your look and we'll tailor it.
Black vinyl-coated
A PVC coating bonded over galvanized steel. Visually it recedes into greenery, and the coating adds a second corrosion barrier.
Privacy-slatted
Slats woven vertically through the mesh. Blocks most sightlines, but it also catches wind—posts need to be set for the extra load.
Commercial-grade
9-gauge fabric and taller heights for sites and security work, versus the 11-gauge typical on residential yards.
