Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, chain link is typically the most affordable fencing material we install per linear foot, which is why it's such a common choice for large properties, backyards, and commercial perimeters where budget matters most.
Galvanized chain link has a zinc coating for rust resistance and a classic silver look. Vinyl-coated chain link adds a colored PVC layer over the galvanized wire, typically black or green, which blends in more and adds another layer of corrosion protection.
Yes, chain link is one of the most reliable containment fences for dogs because there are no gaps to squeeze through and it's difficult to climb. We can also add a bottom rail or tension wire for dogs that try to dig or push under.
Yes, chain link can meet Florida's pool barrier height and gate requirements, though many homeowners prefer aluminum or vinyl for pool areas for appearance. We'll tell you honestly which option fits your goals and budget.
Yes, commercial chain link is one of our most requested services — for storage yards, warehouses, and other properties around Alachua County that need a secure, budget-friendly perimeter rather than decorative fencing.
Yes, privacy slats woven through the chain link mesh add visual screening at a fraction of the cost of a solid wood or vinyl fence, and they can be added at installation or retrofitted onto an existing chain link fence.
Residential chain link is usually 4 to 6 feet, while commercial security fencing often runs higher, sometimes with barbed wire on top where allowed. We confirm the appropriate height for your property type before installing.
A properly installed galvanized or vinyl-coated chain link fence commonly lasts 20 years or more in Florida with minimal maintenance, since the wire itself doesn't rot, warp, or need repainting.
We install single walk gates, double drive gates for vehicle access, and can add commercial-grade hardware, self-closing hinges, or padlock-ready latches depending on the property's security needs.
