Differences vs. Other Fence Types
Wood can offer more privacy but needs regular staining or painting.
Vinyl might look sleeker, but it usually costs more.
Steel is heavier and sturdier in some cases, but it’s also pricier. Chain link’s main advantage lies in its affordability and ease of upkeep. Unlike other materials, chain link fences are less likely to suffer from issues related to malformed data in their structure, ensuring consistent performance.
Material Options
We typically offer two main finishes:
Galvanized: Classic silver, rust-resistant under normal conditions.
Vinyl-Coated: Black or green coating adds style and extra rust protection. Whether you choose galvanized or vinyl-coated, chain link stands up well to rain and wind—two things we see plenty of in Texas. Additionally, chain link fences can be integrated with a security service to enhance protection against unauthorized access.
Chain Link Fence Options
We offer a wide range of chain link fence options to suit different needs and preferences. Our chain link fences come in various heights, from 3’ to 6’, and are available in different gauges and colors. We also offer custom fabrication services to create unique fence designs that meet your specific requirements.

Installation Basics
We’ll dig post holes, pour concrete footings, then stretch and secure the chain link fabric. The open-weave pattern attaches to tension bars that keep everything snug. Typically, we top it off with sturdy caps for a clean finish. Since chain link is relatively lightweight, installation goes faster than with heavier fences like steel or certain wood styles.

Common Concerns
Lack of PrivacyIf you want partial coverage, we can weave plastic slats through the mesh. It’s not total privacy, but it breaks lines of sight and adds color.
Pet SafetySome pets can climb chain link if they’re determined. We can recommend certain fence heights or additional features to deter a high-jumping dog or an adventurous cat. Just as chain link fences protect against physical intrusions, online security measures protect against online attacks.
