Chain-Link Fences

Why Choose Chain-Link Fencing

Chain-link fencing delivers unbeatable value. It costs less than wood or vinyl while providing excellent security and durability. If you need to fence a large area on a budget, chain-link is the smart choice. It is also perfect for keeping dogs contained, securing commercial properties, and defining property boundaries without blocking views.

Chain-link requires almost no maintenance. There is no painting, staining, or sealing. It stands up to harsh weather without warping, cracking, or rotting. For Novato residents who want practical, reliable fencing at the lowest cost, chain-link makes perfect sense.

Common Uses for Chain-Link Fencing

Chain-link works well for many different situations. We install it for residential, commercial, and industrial properties all over Marin County. Here are the most common uses:

• Dog runs and pet containment: The most popular residential use. Chain-link keeps dogs safely contained while giving them visibility.
• Backyard perimeter fencing: Defines property lines and provides security without the cost of privacy fencing.
• Commercial and industrial security: Warehouses, storage yards, and businesses use chain-link with barbed wire for perimeter security.
• Sports courts and playgrounds: Backstops for tennis, basketball, and baseball fields. Durable enough for ball impacts.
• Temporary construction fencing: Quick to install and remove. Secures job sites during construction projects.
• Pool safety barriers: Code-compliant pool fencing that prevents unauthorized access.

Chain-Link Styles and Customization

Standard galvanized chain-link comes with a silver finish. But you have options. We offer vinyl-coated chain-link in black, green, brown, and other colors. Coated chain-link looks better and lasts even longer because the vinyl layer adds extra rust protection.

Fence height typically ranges from 4 to 6 feet for residential properties. Commercial installations can go up to 12 feet or higher. We help you pick the right height based on your goals and any local codes that apply.

You can also add privacy slats to chain-link fencing. These vertical inserts weave through the mesh to block visibility and reduce wind. Slats come in many colors and give chain-link a cleaner, more finished appearance. Another option is stretching privacy screen fabric along the fence for full visibility blocking.

Gates are fully customizable. We install single walk gates, double drive gates, and commercial rolling gates. Every gate includes sturdy frames, quality latches, and smooth-operating hinges. For commercial chain-link installations, we add locking mechanisms and access control systems as needed.

Our Installation Process

Chain-link installation starts with careful measurements and planning. We mark post locations, ensuring corners and gate positions meet your needs. Posts get set in concrete footings for maximum stability. Once concrete cures, we attach top rails and tension wire.

The chain-link fabric gets stretched tight between posts using specialized tools. Proper tension prevents sagging and ensures long-term performance. We finish by installing caps, ties, and tension bars. The entire process for a typical residential fence takes one to two days.

We follow all local codes and HOA requirements. Our installations pass inspections the first time. Every chain-link fence comes with a one-year workmanship warranty covering any installation defects.
