Chain Link Fences

Galvanized chain link fences with top rail and set posts for yards, dog runs, ball fields and lots that need dependable, economical enclosure.

Chain link remains the workhorse fence for good reason. Galvanized steel mesh stretched on a frame of posts and rails is strong, durable and economical, and it handles yards, dog runs, ball fields, pools and commercial lots with ease. Owners in Nashville choose chain link when the job is to enclose a space securely and sensibly without spending on style.

We begin with a Free Estimate, measure the line and discuss mesh gauge, fabric height and post size. Terminal posts are set deep at corners, ends and gates, line posts are spaced evenly and the top rail and tension wire hold the fabric tight. We talk about adding privacy slats, coated fabric or a wood-framed face and how gates are hung so they close cleanly for years. Chain link is easy to underestimate. The difference between a fence that stays tight and one that sags usually comes down to post depth, top rail, tension wire and proper stretching, not the mesh itself. We take care with those details, and we are glad to talk through options like slats, coated fabric or wood-framed faces if you want to soften the look.

Gauge and mesh size

Heavier wire and tighter mesh last longer and resist climbing, and we explain the options for your use.

Posts that hold tension

Terminal posts take the pull of the fabric, so they are larger and set deeper than line posts.

Top rail and tension wire

A top rail keeps the line straight and a bottom tension wire stops the fabric from lifting.

Gates and options

Walk and drive gates, privacy slats and coated mesh turn a plain fence into a flexible enclosure.

Questions

Chain Link Fences FAQ

Many last for decades with good coating and installation, depending on exposure.

Can I get privacy in chain link?

Slats, privacy screens or a hedge behind the fence add privacy.
