How much does chain-link fencing cost?

Taller 6-foot fences cost $12-18 per foot. Vinyl-coated options add $2-4 per foot. Privacy slats add another $3-5 per foot.

How long does a chain-link fence last?

A properly installed galvanized chain-link fence typically lasts 20-30 years in our climate. Vinyl-coated chain-link can last even longer, often 30-40 years, because the coating provides extra protection against rust. The framework posts and rails are the most durable parts and rarely need replacement. The mesh fabric may sag or need tightening after many years, but this is an easy fix. Chain-link requires virtually no maintenance, just an occasional rinse with water if it gets dirty.

Can chain-link fences keep dogs contained safely?

Yes, chain-link is one of the best fence types for containing dogs. The mesh is strong enough that even large dogs can't break through. For smaller dogs, we recommend smaller mesh sizes or adding a bottom rail to prevent digging underneath. The fence height should match your dog's jumping ability - 4 feet works for most breeds, but 6 feet is better for athletic or large dogs. We can also install dig barriers if your dog likes to dig. Many dog owners choose chain-link because dogs can see through it, which reduces anxiety and barking.

Chain-Link Fence Options

We install several types of chain-link fencing to match your specific needs and budget. Each option has different benefits for durability and appearance.

Galvanized Chain-Link:

Our most popular and budget-friendly option. Galvanized steel chain-link is coated with zinc to prevent rust and corrosion. It has a bright silver appearance that weathers to a muted gray over time. Perfect for backyards, dog runs, and general security needs.

Vinyl-Coated Chain-Link:

For a more attractive look, vinyl-coated chain-link adds a colored PVC coating over galvanized wire. Black and green are the most popular colors. The coating provides extra protection against rust while improving appearance. Great for front yards and properties where curb appeal matters.

Privacy Chain-Link:

Want privacy without the cost of a solid fence? We can add privacy slats to any chain-link fence. These slats weave through the mesh to create a semi-private barrier. Available in many colors to match your home or landscape.

Best Uses for Chain-Link Fencing

Chain-link excels in situations where function matters more than aesthetics. It's the go-to choice for commercial properties, schools, athletic fields, and industrial sites.

For residential properties in Roswell, chain-link works great for backyards, especially if you have dogs. It keeps pets safely contained while allowing them to see and interact with their surroundings. It's also popular for side yards and back property lines where appearance is less critical.

If you need temporary fencing for construction or events, chain-link is ideal because it can be installed and removed quickly. It's also great for gardens and yards where you want to maximize sunlight and airflow.

For front yards or highly visible areas where curb appeal is important, many homeowners prefer wood or vinyl fencing. But with vinyl coating and privacy slats, chain-link can look quite attractive while costing significantly less.
