Residential & Commercial Chain-Link Fences

Chain-link fencing is one of the most versatile and cost-effective fence types available. It works exceptionally well for both residential and commercial properties because it provides clear visibility, strong security, and excellent longevity—all at one of the lowest price points of any fence material. We ensure all posts are set deeply in concrete and the mesh is correctly tensioned, which is critical for structural stability during high winds and storms.

Popular Residential Uses:

  • Backyards for property line definition.
  • Pet enclosures & dog runs that require durable containment.
  • Side yards and utility areas.
  • Garden protection against wildlife and pests.
  • Pool equipment areas and storage.

Commercial & Industrial Uses:

  • Parking lots and auto dealerships.
  • Storage yards and equipment compounds.
  • Temporary or permanent construction sites.
  • Warehouses and commercial boundaries.
  • Athletic fields and apartment complexes.

Our chain-link systems come in multiple heights (up to 12 feet), gauges, and finishes, including standard galvanized steel or premium black-vinyl-coated options for enhanced aesthetics and rust resistance.

Privacy Options for Chain-Link Fencing

Chain-link doesn’t always mean "no privacy." We offer multiple add-on options that transform a standard chain-link fence into a semi-private or fully private enclosure, giving you the security of steel with the seclusion of other fence types. These options are particularly popular for homeowners next to busy roads or businesses needing discreet storage.


Privacy Add-Ons Include:

  • Vinyl privacy slats: Installed directly into the mesh (available in multiple colors like green, brown, or black).
  • Mesh windscreens: Typically used for commercial sites and athletic fields to block views and reduce wind load.
  • Shade cloth: Full-coverage material for commercial yards and storage areas.
  • Full-coverage privacy inserts: Durable, permanent solutions for maximum visual blocking.


Privacy slats or screens are ideal when you want added separation without losing the strength and lifespan of chain-link.


If you prefer total, gap-free privacy from the start, explore our Privacy Fencing page for more dedicated options.

Chain-Link Fence Cost & Lifespan

Chain-link fencing is consistently one of the most budget-friendly fence types available—especially for long runs and large yards. The value comes from the minimal material cost paired with the fence’s long-term durability and low maintenance needs.

Typical Price Range (Per Linear Foot):

  • Standard galvanized chain-link: ~$12–$26
  • Black-vinyl-coated chain-link: ~$18–$35
  • Commercial-height (6–10 ft): Varies based on gauge and required security features (e.g., barbed wire arms).

Expected Lifespan:

A properly installed chain-link fence typically lasts 20–40 years in North Houston, often exceeding the life of traditional wood fencing.

Why It Lasts So Long:

  • Galvanized or vinyl-coated steel resists rust, corrosion, and weather damage.
  • Minimal maintenance is required, avoiding premature wear.
  • Strong structural posts and secure fabric hold up well during heavy storms.
