Chain-link fencing gets the job done without breaking your budget. Whether you need to contain pets, define property lines, secure a commercial space, or meet HOA requirements, chain-link delivers reliable performance at the lowest cost per foot of any fencing option. San Leandro property owners choose chain-link for its strength, longevity, and minimal maintenance requirements. It won't rot like wood, it doesn't need painting like metal pickets, and it lasts 20-30 years with virtually no upkeep.
Chain-link fencing isn't the right fit for every property, but when it works, it works really well. Here are the situations where chain-link makes the most sense:
Not all chain-link looks the same. Here are your choices to customize appearance, durability, and function:
Standard galvanized chain-link has that classic silver metal appearance. It costs the least and lasts 20+ years. Vinyl-coated chain-link wraps each wire in colored PVC for a more finished look. Black and green are most popular, blending better with landscaping. Vinyl coating adds 25-40% to the cost but looks much better in visible areas.
Standard mesh is 2 inches, which works for most uses. Smaller mesh (1.5 inches) costs more but provides better security and keeps small dogs from squeezing through. Wire gauge typically runs 9 or 11, with 9 being thicker and stronger. For residential use, 11 gauge works fine. Commercial properties usually go with 9 gauge for extra security.
Want privacy with your chain-link? Add privacy slats that weave through the mesh. They come in various colors and block 85-95% of visibility while still allowing airflow. Slats add $2-4 per foot but transform chain-link into a semi-private fence option.
Chain-link typically comes in 3, 4, 5, or 6-foot heights. Most residential installations use 4 feet for front/side yards and 6 feet for backyards. Commercial properties often go taller, sometimes with barbed wire on top for high-security areas.
Proper installation makes all the difference with chain-link fencing. We set posts in concrete with proper spacing, stretch the mesh tight so it doesn't sag, and secure all connections properly. A well-installed chain-link fence stays taut and straight for decades. We also handle all gate installations with quality hardware that won't rust or bind. Looking for other fencing options? We also install wood privacy fences and decorative aluminum fencing. Need repairs? Our repair services cover all fence types.
