Chain Link Fences

At 78 Fence, we provide reliable and professional installation of commercial chain link fencing, a time-tested solution for businesses looking to balance affordability, durability, and effective perimeter security. Whether you’re enclosing a warehouse, construction site, schoolyard, or commercial property, chain link fencing is a practical option trusted across industries.

What is Chain Link Fencing?

Chain link fencing is a woven fence made from galvanized or coated steel wire, forming a diamond-shaped mesh that offers both visibility and containment. It’s one of the most common types of fencing used for commercial applications due to its cost-effectiveness, quick installation, and low maintenance requirements. With optional add-ons like privacy slats, barbed wire, or vinyl coatings, chain link fencing can be customized to meet specific aesthetic or security needs.

Technically, chain link fences are constructed using steel wire—typically 9 to 11 gauge—either hot-dip galvanized or coated with vinyl (in colors like black or green) for added corrosion resistance and aesthetics. The wire is woven into a zigzag pattern, creating a strong mesh that resists cutting and climbing, especially when installed at heights of 6 feet or more. For enhanced security, fences can be topped with barbed wire, razor wire, or integrated with access control gates. With proper installation and material selection, chain link fencing can provide long-term, high-strength perimeter protection suitable for even sensitive commercial or industrial sites.

Advantages of Chain Link Fencing

• Affordability: Chain link is one of the most economical commercial fencing options available, offering a high return on investment.
• Security: Provides a strong barrier to deter unauthorized access, and can be topped with barbed wire for extra protection.
• Fast Installation: Prefabricated panels and posts allow for faster installation compared to many other fence types.
• Durability: Made from galvanized or coated steel, chain link fencing resists rust, corrosion, and wear from weather and impact.
• Low Maintenance: Requires minimal upkeep; occasional cleaning and inspections ensure long-lasting performance.
• Customizable: Available in different heights, gauges, and coatings (galvanized or vinyl-coated in black or green) to suit various commercial needs.
• Visibility: Unlike solid fences, chain link fencing allows visibility for surveillance cameras or onsite security personnel.

Disadvantages of Chain Link Fencing

• Limited Privacy: Standard chain link fences are see-through, although privacy slats can be added as an upgrade.
• Industrial Appearance: The utilitarian look may not suit properties aiming for a more polished or upscale aesthetic.

Commercial Applications of Chain Link Fencing

Chain link fences are widely used in commercial, industrial, and institutional settings, including:

• Construction Sites – Secure perimeters and prevent trespassing or theft.
• Warehouses & Storage Yards – Keep valuable assets protected around the clock.
• Schools & Parks – Provide clear boundaries while maintaining visibility and airflow.
• Athletic Facilities – Enclose fields and courts with a durable and safe barrier.
