Why Choose Chain-Link Fencing?
Chain-link fencing gives you the most value per dollar of any fence type. It's strong, long-lasting, and requires almost no maintenance. If you need to secure a large area, contain pets, or mark property lines without breaking the bank, chain-link is your best option. It's also see-through, which means it provides security without blocking views or making your yard feel closed in.
We install chain-link fences throughout Gilroy for residential backyards, dog runs, sports courts, commercial properties, and everything in between. The galvanized steel mesh lasts 20 to 30 years with minimal care. Add a privacy slat insert if you want to block the view, or leave it open to maintain sightlines. Chain-link is incredibly versatile and adapts to almost any application.
Our team has been installing chain-link fences since 2024. We use heavy-gauge wire and commercial-grade posts that won't bend or sag. Every terminal post is set in concrete with proper depth and diameter. We don't take shortcuts, which is why our chain-link fences stay tight and straight for decades. You'll get a fence that performs like it should from Gilroy's trusted fence contractor.
Chain-Link Options and Features
Modern chain-link fencing comes with more options than you might think:
- •Galvanized steel: The standard option. Silver-colored wire with a zinc coating that resists rust. Budget-friendly and lasts 20+ years.
- •Vinyl-coated wire: Chain-link with a colored vinyl coating. Available in black, green, brown, and white. Looks better and adds extra corrosion protection.
- •Privacy slats: Plastic or metal slats woven through the mesh. Blocks 80 to 90% of the view and comes in many colors. Easy to add later if you change your mind.
- •Barbed wire or razor wire: Added to the top for high-security applications. Common for commercial and industrial properties.
- •Rolling gates: For driveway access. Can be manual or automated with electric openers.
- •Height options: Standard heights are 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, and 12 feet. Taller is better for security and containment.
We'll help you choose the right combination of features based on your goals and budget. Most residential customers go with 4-foot for front yards and 6-foot for backyards. If you're containing large dogs or need serious security, we recommend 6-foot minimum. For commercial applications, 8-foot or taller is standard.
Best Uses for Chain-Link Fencing
Chain-link excels in situations where function matters more than appearance. It's perfect for dog runs, since it allows air flow while keeping pets safely contained. Sports courts and play areas benefit from chain-link because it's see-through and nearly indestructible. Commercial and industrial properties use it for perimeter security at a fraction of the cost of other fence types.
Many homeowners use chain-link for side yards and backyards while choosing wood or vinyl for the front yard where curb appeal matters. This combination gives you security in back at a lower cost while maintaining an attractive front. It's a smart way to get the best of both worlds.
If you're a landlord or property manager in Gilroy, chain-link is the most cost-effective way to fence rental properties. It's durable, requires no maintenance, and tenants can't damage it easily.
