Chain Link Fences for Your Property

Affordable Security That Lasts

Chain link earns its place by doing a lot for a little. It secures and contains dependably, costs less than nearly any other fence, and keeps working for years with hardly any upkeep. Our work begins with an honest, itemized quote and a real visit to your property, because the height, the terrain, and whether you are containing pets, securing a business, or fencing a play area all shape how the fence should be built. We are licensed and insured, and property owners keep choosing us because we install chain link the way it should be done, the difference between a fence that stays tight for decades and one that sags in a couple of years: posts set solid, terminal posts braced, and mesh stretched and tensioned properly. You also have real choices in height, gauge, and finish, from standard galvanized to vinyl-coated black or green that looks cleaner and blends into the landscape. What you get is a fence built to your property and your budget, priced plainly, with nothing added later.

Chain Link Options We Install

Chain link is more versatile than people expect, and the finish, height, and add-ons shape both the look and the job it does:

Residential Chain Link: Standard mesh in common heights for backyards, pet enclosures, and play areas, a secure, budget-friendly boundary.
Vinyl-Coated Chain Link: Black or green coated mesh that resists rust, looks cleaner than raw galvanized, and blends into the yard, popular for homes.
Commercial and Industrial Grade: Heavier gauge and taller heights for businesses, storage yards, and facilities that need real security.
Privacy Slats: Slats woven through the mesh to add screening and a finished look where you want more than an open fence.
Kennels and Enclosures: Dog runs and secure enclosures built to keep pets safely contained.
Gates: Walk gates, wide drive gates, and rolling gates sized for your access, from a single yard gate to commercial entrances.

We install galvanized or vinyl-coated mesh in the gauge and height that fit your needs, and because chain link spans everything from a backyard to a commercial perimeter, we help you match the grade to the job. Throughout the project you always know where things stand, and because our trucks arrive stocked and ready, most chain link fences go up quickly.

Why Property Owners Choose Sunrise for Chain Link

Straight, Honest Pricing

Chain link is chosen for value, so the quote should reflect that with no surprises. Before a single post goes in, you get a written breakdown covering materials, labor, gates, and cleanup line by line, so you know exactly what you are paying for. The price you approve is the price you pay, even if the digging turns up more rock than expected. We never pad the material count or slip in extras midway through, and we help you pick the right height and gauge so you are not overspending on commercial-grade mesh for a backyard, or underspec’ing a security fence. That kind of honesty is why so much of our work comes from referrals.

Built to Stay Tight and Secure

A chain link fence lives or dies by its tension and its terminal posts, which is exactly where cheap installs fail. Saggy, wavy mesh almost always traces back to posts that were not set solid or mesh that was never stretched properly. We set line and terminal posts deep in properly mixed concrete, brace the corner and end posts to hold the pull of the fence, and stretch and tension the mesh so it stays drum-tight for years. Galvanized and vinyl-coated mesh both resist rust, so the fence keeps doing its job through every season the Piedmont sends. The result is a fence that stays taut and secure long after a rushed install would be sagging.

The Right Build for the Job

Chain link covers a lot of ground, from a low backyard fence to a tall commercial security perimeter, and using the right specification matters. We match the mesh gauge, height, and post size to what the fence actually needs to do, add privacy slats where you want screening, and size gates for the access you need, whether that is a single walk gate or a wide rolling gate for a lot. On pet enclosures we set the height and mesh to keep your specific dog in. It is the difference between a fence that fits the job and one that either falls short or costs more than it needed to.

Value That Keeps Working for Years

A well-built chain link fence is one of the smartest values in fencing, securing your property, containing pets and children, and marking a boundary, all for a fraction of what other fences cost, and then holding up for years with almost no upkeep. Getting it built right is what protects that value. Chain link is inexpensive up front and cheap to maintain, but a fast, careless install still fails early. The most common calls we get are from owners who paid too little and spent the next year looking at sagging mesh, leaning posts, and gates that no longer latch. We would rather build it once, correctly, with properly set and braced posts and mesh tensioned tight so the fence stays secure through the seasons. Upkeep is genuinely minimal: chain link needs no painting or sealing, an occasional rinse keeps vinyl-coated mesh looking clean, and catching a loose gate or a bent rail early keeps it trouble-free. After every job we walk the finished fence with you, show you the simple care it needs, and leave you a direct number to call if anything ever comes up. Built this way, a chain link fence secures your property and contains what matters for many years.

What Customers Say

Chain Link Fence Questions, Answered

Is chain link the most affordable fencing option?

For most properties, yes. Chain link consistently costs less than wood, vinyl, and aluminum while still providing secure, durable enclosure, which is why it is so common for backyards, pet areas, and commercial lots. If your priority is securing an area or containing pets on a budget, chain link delivers the most fence for the money. We give you an itemized quote so you can see exactly where the value is.

Does chain link fencing provide any privacy?

Not on its own, since the open mesh is designed to secure and contain rather than screen. If you want privacy, we can weave privacy slats through the mesh, which add screening and a more finished look while keeping the affordability and durability of chain link. It will not match the full privacy of a solid wood or vinyl fence, but it is a budget-friendly way to add a good amount of screening. We will walk you through the options.

What is the difference between galvanized and vinyl-coated chain link?

Galvanized is the classic silver mesh, the most economical and very durable. Vinyl-coated chain link adds a colored coating, usually black or green, over galvanized mesh, which resists rust even better, looks cleaner, and blends into a yard or landscape far more than raw metal. Many homeowners prefer the coated look for residential use, while galvanized is common for utility and commercial jobs. We help you choose based on look and budget.

Will a chain link fence keep my dog contained?

Yes, when it is built for it. Chain link is a popular choice for pet containment because it is secure and lets your dog see out. We set the height to suit your dog, since some can jump or climb, and make sure the mesh reaches close to the ground so they cannot dig under at the fence line. Tell us about your dog and we will build the enclosure to keep them safely in.

How long does installation take, and do you remove my old fence?

Chain link goes up quickly, and most standard residential jobs are done in one to two days once materials are on site and utilities are marked. Larger or commercial installs take longer, and we give you a realistic timeline in writing after seeing the property. If we are replacing an existing fence, tear-out, cleanup, and responsible haul-away of the old material are all included in the quote, with nothing extra at the end.
