Chain-Link Fences

The Benefits of Chain-Link Fencing

Chain-link fencing offers unbeatable value when you need to secure a large area on a budget. It's the most affordable fencing option per foot, making it perfect for backyards, dog runs, sports courts, and commercial properties. Despite the low cost, chain-link is incredibly durable and can last 20-30 years with minimal maintenance.

Here in Sheboygan, WI, we install chain-link fences for homeowners who want effective security and pet containment without spending a fortune. It's also popular for side yards and back boundaries where appearance is less critical than function. And unlike solid fences, chain-link doesn't block views or create wind resistance, which means fewer problems with damage during storms.

Chain-Link Fence Options

Chain-link fencing has come a long way from the basic silver fences you might remember. We offer several options to match your needs and preferences:

• Galvanized chain-link: Standard silver finish that's rust-resistant and highly affordable
• Vinyl-coated chain-link: Black, green, or brown coating that looks better and adds extra protection
• Privacy slats: Colored slats woven through the mesh for privacy and improved appearance
• Various heights: From 3 feet for decorative boundaries to 6-8 feet for security and pet containment
• Different gauges: Heavier gauge wire for high-traffic or commercial applications
• Barbed wire or privacy mesh: Add-ons for extra security or privacy when needed

We can also install gates of any size, from standard walk gates to wide drive-through gates for vehicles and equipment. All our chain-link installations use heavy-duty posts set in concrete for stability that lasts.

Where Chain-Link Works Best

Chain-link fencing shines in certain situations where other materials don't make sense. It's ideal for large backyards where a privacy fence would cost too much. It's perfect for containing dogs and other pets since they can see through it but can't escape. And it works great for side yards, sports courts, pools, and gardens where you need a secure boundary without blocking light and views.

Many Sheboygan homeowners choose chain-link for their backyard and then install a decorative wood fence in the front yard for curb appeal. This combination gives you the best of both worlds - security where you need it and beauty where it matters most. If you're looking at options, our fence installation guide can help you decide what works best for each area of your property.

Quick Installation, Minimal Maintenance

One of chain-link's biggest advantages is how quickly we can install it. Because there are no individual boards to attach, we can typically complete a residential installation in 1-2 days. The posts need to set in concrete overnight, then we stretch and attach the mesh, install gates, and you're done.

Maintenance is virtually non-existent. Give your fence an occasional spray with the hose to remove dirt and debris, and that's about it. Galvanized and vinyl-coated chain-link resist rust naturally. If you ever need repairs or replacement sections, we can handle that quickly and affordably too.
