- Tighten tension wire and check tension bands to prevent sagging
- Trim vegetation growing through the mesh to prevent pressure on the fabric

- Apply a rust-inhibiting spray to any scratches or chips in the galvanized coating

Frequently Asked Questions About Chain Link Fences
Is chain link fencing cheaper than wood?
Yes. Chain link is one of the most affordable fencing options available. It typically costs less than wood privacy fences, iron fences, and vinyl fencing. For an accurate estimate based on your property, call (512) 354-7670.
How long does a chain link fence last?
A galvanized chain link fence can last 20-30 years or more with minimal maintenance. Vinyl-coated chain link lasts even longer because the coating provides extra protection against rust and corrosion.
Can I add privacy to a chain link fence?
How much does chain link fence installation cost in Austin?
Chain link fence costs depend on the fence length, height, gauge, coating type, terrain, and number of gates. Every property is different, so we provide free on-site estimates. Call (512) 354-7670 to schedule yours.
How long does chain link fence installation take?
Most residential chain link fence installations are completed in 1-2 days. Larger commercial projects may take 3-5 days depending on the scope. We’ll give you a specific timeline during your free estimate.
Do I need a permit for a chain link fence in Austin?
In most cases, a permit is required for fences over 6 feet tall in Austin. Front yard fences and properties in floodplains may have additional restrictions. Learn more about fence permits in Austin.
What gauge chain link should I choose?
The lower the gauge number, the thicker and stronger the wire. 9-gauge is standard for residential fencing and provides good strength. 6-gauge is heavier-duty and used for commercial, industrial, and high-security applications. We’ll recommend the right gauge for your project.
Can you install chain link fencing on a slope?
Yes. We install chain link fences on sloped and uneven terrain throughout Austin. The fabric can follow the ground contour or be stepped for a uniform look. Our crew adjusts post heights and tension to keep the fence straight and secure on any grade.
Do you install commercial chain link fences?
Yes. We install commercial chain link fencing for businesses, warehouses, schools, construction sites, and industrial facilities across Austin and Central Texas. Commercial options include taller heights, heavier gauge wire, barbed wire, and automatic gate systems.
What colors does vinyl-coated chain link come in?
We offer vinyl-coated chain link in black, green, and brown. Black is the most popular choice because it blends with landscaping and fades less than other colors. The vinyl coating also adds extra rust protection.
Do you repair chain link fences?
Yes. We handle chain link fence repair across Austin, including fabric replacement, post straightening, gate repair, and tension adjustments. If repair isn’t cost-effective, we’ll recommend full fence replacement instead.
Do you offer a warranty on chain link fence installation?
