Galvanized vs. Vinyl-Coated
Galvanized
Bare galvanized chain link is the most economical option and holds up well inland.
Black Vinyl-Coated
The coating covers the wire, so it looks better and lasts longer near the coast. Black framework with black fabric almost disappears against landscaping.
Green and Brown
Less common, but useful where the fence runs along a natural preserve or wooded line.
The Specs That Matter
Fabric Gauge
Lower gauge numbers mean thicker wire. Residential fences often use a lighter gauge than commercial and security fences.
Post Diameter
Terminal posts at ends, corners and gates carry the load and should be heavier than line posts.
Top Rail or Tension Wire
A top rail keeps the fabric tight and the line straight. Tension wire alone is cheaper but sags sooner.
Bottom Tension Wire
Keeps the bottom of the fabric from being pushed out by dogs or wind.
Common Uses
Dog Runs and Kennels
Chain link is the budget-friendly way to give a dog a secure area. Mention breed and size so the height is right.
Large Lots and Acreage
Out toward Alva and Buckingham, chain link handles long runs at a lower cost per foot, often with a nicer style only along the front.
Privacy Slats
Slats woven into the fabric add screening to a chain link fence without replacing it.
