Chain Link Fence

Chain link fencing is one of the most affordable fencing options available, typically costing $10–$25 per linear foot installed. Costs depend on fence height (4, 5, or 6 feet), wire gauge (thicker gauge costs more but is more durable), and whether the mesh is galvanized or vinyl-coated. Gates, corner posts, and end posts add to the total.

Above & Beyond Fencing provides free estimates for chain link fencing projects. We help property owners choose the right height, gauge, and coating for their specific needs and budget.

Chain link is one of the most reliable fencing options for pet containment. The woven mesh prevents most dogs from squeezing through, and heights of 4–6 feet deter jumping. For diggers, adding a bottom rail or burying a few inches of mesh below ground level prevents escape. Chain link also provides visibility so pets can see their surroundings, which reduces anxiety-driven behavior.

Above & Beyond Fencing installs chain link with pet-specific features including bottom rails, buried mesh, and self-closing gates. We help pet owners choose the right height and gauge for their dog’s size and behavior.

Vinyl-coated chain link has a layer of PVC plastic bonded to the galvanized wire. This coating provides additional corrosion resistance, UV protection, and a more attractive appearance. It’s available in colors including black, green, brown, and white. The vinyl coating makes the fence softer to touch and less visible against landscaping, which many homeowners prefer over bare galvanized mesh.

Vinyl-coated chain link costs slightly more than standard galvanized but lasts longer and requires less maintenance. Above & Beyond Fencing installs both options and helps you decide which fits your property best.

Galvanized chain link fencing typically lasts 20–30 years with virtually no maintenance. Vinyl-coated chain link can last even longer — 30–40 years — because the plastic layer prevents rust and UV damage. Chain link’s longevity makes it one of the best long-term value options in fencing, especially for large properties where material costs add up quickly.

Above & Beyond Fencing uses commercial-grade galvanized and vinyl-coated mesh that maximizes the lifespan of every chain link installation.

Yes, chain link is the most common fencing material for commercial properties. It’s used for security perimeters, parking lots, athletic fields, construction sites, storage yards, and industrial facilities. Commercial chain link typically uses heavier gauge wire and taller heights (6–12 feet). Barbed wire, razor wire, and privacy slats can be added for enhanced security.

Above & Beyond Fencing installs commercial chain link for businesses and organizations. We handle large-scale projects with professional precision, including security upgrades and access control gates.

Yes, privacy slats can be woven into chain link mesh to add privacy, wind reduction, and visual screening. Slats are available in several styles: vertical, diagonal, and hedge-style. They come in colors including green, brown, black, tan, and white. Privacy slats typically block 70–90% of visibility depending on the style.

Above & Beyond Fencing installs privacy slats on new and existing chain link fences. They’re a cost-effective way to add privacy without replacing an entire fence.
