Chain Link Fence Installation in Central PA

Durable, budget-friendly enclosure for pets, security, and commercial sites. Galvanized or vinyl-coated.

Modern black vinyl-coated chain link reads much better than bare galvanized — it is a practical upgrade for residential applications where looks matter as much as function. We install both finishes in standard 11.5-gauge residential and heavier 9-gauge commercial fabric. Chain link is also the right call for large-area pet containment and agricultural use where budget comes first.

Typical 2026 installed: $16–$30 per linear foot

Frequently asked questions

Can chain link be made more private?

Yes — privacy slats or black vinyl coating improve both looks and screening.

What gauge chain link should I use?

For residential pet containment and yard enclosure, 11.5-gauge is standard. For commercial security or high-traffic gates, we recommend 9-gauge.

How long does chain link last?

Galvanized chain link in good soil typically lasts 15–20 years. Vinyl-coated can last longer. Posts in wet soil are usually the first thing to go — we set them deep to help.
