Affordable, durable chain link fencing installed across Raleigh, Cary, Apex, and the entire Triangle. Our licensed crew builds residential yards, pet enclosures, sports courts, and commercial perimeters — all with a written warranty and honest pricing.

The Most Practical Fence You Can Buy.

Chain link is the go-to fence for homeowners and businesses who need reliable boundary security without a big budget. It’s tough, fast to install, and requires almost zero maintenance once it’s in the ground. It holds up in North Carolina’s heat, humidity, and red clay soil better than almost any other fence material. No painting, no staining, no annual treatment — just a fence that works year after year. For yards, dog runs, sports courts, and commercial lots, chain link is hard to beat on value per dollar.

Coating Options

Choose the Right
Coating for Your Fence

Premium

Vinyl-Coated Chain Link

The premium option. A PVC coating bonded over galvanized steel wire adds an extra layer of corrosion protection and gives the fence a cleaner, more finished appearance. Available in black and green — black is the most popular choice in Raleigh neighborhoods and HOA communities. Adds 10–15 years of extra lifespan over galvanized alone.

Standard

Galvanized Chain Link

The practical value choice. Hot-dipped galvanized steel wire is coated in zinc at the factory for strong rust and corrosion resistance. Costs 15–20% less than vinyl-coated and still lasts 20–30 years in NC's climate with no maintenance. The most common choice for utility areas, dog runs, and commercial properties.

Not sure which coating is right for you? We’ll walk you through both options at your free estimate — no pressure, just honest advice.

FAQ

Chain Link Fence FAQ

A galvanized chain link fence typically lasts 20–30 years in Raleigh’s climate with little to no maintenance. Vinyl-coated chain link can last 30–40 years thanks to the extra corrosion layer. The posts and concrete footings often outlast the fabric itself. It’s one of the longest-lasting fence options for the price.

Galvanized chain link is zinc-coated at the factory to resist rust and corrosion. In most residential applications it holds up well in NC’s humidity. For maximum rust protection — especially near water or in low-lying yards — we recommend vinyl-coated chain link, which adds a PVC layer over the galvanized wire for an extra decade or more of lifespan.

Yes — PVC privacy slats can be woven vertically through the diamond mesh to add privacy and block sightlines. They come in a range of colors and typically cover 75–85% of the fence opening. It’s a cost-effective way to get more privacy from an existing or new chain link fence without replacing it entirely.

Most chain link fences 4 feet and under in unincorporated Wake County do not require a permit. Fences over 4 feet or in city limits — Raleigh, Cary, Apex — often do. Commercial installs almost always require permits. We research your specific address and handle all permit applications at no extra charge on every install.

For most residential yards, 9-gauge galvanized or vinyl-coated chain link is the right choice. If you have large, active, or escape-prone dogs, we recommend 6-gauge wire and heavier posts for extra strength. For commercial or sports court applications, we spec the appropriate gauge during your estimate based on the height and intended use.

Yes — with the right specs. For large or athletic dogs we recommend 6-gauge wire, a tension wire along the bottom to prevent lifting, and top caps on all posts to prevent climbing. For diggers, we can add a bottom rail or buried tension wire to block the gap between the fence and the ground. We’ll spec the right configuration at your estimate based on your dogs’ size and behavior.

Yes. Old fence removal and off-site disposal is included in your quote — no surprise demo fees. We haul everything away. If you want to keep any salvageable posts or materials, just mention it at the estimate and we’ll set them aside.
