Chain Link Fence Installation in Gainesville

The most fence for the money. Galvanized or black vinyl-coated, for backyards, dog runs, gardens and commercial property.

Galvanized or Vinyl-Coated

Galvanized

The classic silver chain link. The lowest cost per foot of any fence and very durable. Best for back yards, dog runs, gardens and utility areas.

Black Vinyl-Coated

Costs more but disappears into the landscape and looks far better from the house. Some local codes require it where chain link faces a street, including residential front yards in Gainesville and Flowery Branch and street-visible commercial chain link in Gainesville.

What to Ask About in a Quote

  • Wire gauge: lower numbers are thicker. 9 gauge is the heavy-duty residential and commercial standard. 11 or 11.5 gauge is lighter and cheaper.
  • Top rail or tension wire: a top rail keeps the top of the fence straight and is worth it on most residential jobs.
  • Post size and depth: terminal, corner and gate posts take the strain and should be heavier than line posts.
  • Bottom tension wire: keeps the fabric from being pushed out by dogs.

Common Chain Link Jobs

  • Backyard enclosures for kids and dogs
  • Dog runs and kennels, often with a gate at each end
  • Garden fencing to keep deer and rabbits out
  • Privacy slats woven into the fabric for partial screening
  • Commercial and industrial security fencing (see commercial fencing)

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does chain link fence last?

Galvanized chain link commonly lasts 20 years or more, and vinyl-coated can last longer. It is one of the longest-lasting fences for the money.

Can I add privacy to a chain link fence?

Yes. Privacy slats weave into the fabric and block most of the view. They will not match a solid privacy fence, but they are far cheaper than replacing the fence.

Is chain link allowed in my front yard?

It depends on the city. The City of Gainesville and Flowery Branch both allow front-yard chain link only if it is black vinyl-coated, and Gainesville caps front-yard fences at 42 inches. HOAs often ban chain link altogether. We check before you buy.

Is chain link good for dogs?

Yes, and it is easy to see the dog through it. Climbers need a taller fence, and diggers need a bottom tension wire or a buried apron.
