Chain link fences
Galvanized or black vinyl-coated chain link for dogs, back lots and big runs where the budget matters most.
from $16 /ft, installed
How we build it
Chain link is the most fence for the least money, and it lasts. We install galvanized for pure value and black vinyl-coated when you want it to fade into the yard. Every run gets a top rail, tension bands and a bottom tension wire, so the mesh stays tight and dogs cannot push under it.

Questions about chain link
Is black coated chain link worth it?
Most people think so. It costs a few dollars more per foot, but it looks far better and the coating adds a layer of rust protection.
Can you add privacy slats later?
Yes, but we are honest about them: they fade and some blow out in storms. If privacy matters, wood or vinyl is the better buy.
