Chain Link Fencing

Custom-Built Chain Link Fence Installation

Chain link fencing is durable, cost-effective, and handles everything from curious dogs to harsh weather without falling apart. While other metal fencing materials might look fancier, chain link gives you decades of reliable performance with minimal maintenance. The key is proper installation. A cheap chain link installed poorly will sag, rust, and fail within a few years. Quality materials installed by skilled professionals will protect your property for decades.

Since 1979, Garon Fence has been installing custom chain link fencing for everything from residential backyards to high-security commercial facilities across New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut. Our experienced team knows that chain link isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution, such as the fencing for a dog run needs different specifications than a tennis court, and both are different from what you’d install around a commercial property.

When trustworthy installation matters, you want contractors who answer their phone, show up when they say they will, and build fencing that actually lasts.

What is a Chain Link Fence?

A chain link fence is a woven metal mesh stretched between sturdy posts to create a barrier that’s both functional and see-through. The “chain link” comes from the distinctive diamond pattern created when galvanized steel wire is bent into interlocking loops and woven together. This creates a flexible mesh that can handle impact without breaking. When something hits it, the fence absorbs and distributes the force across the entire section rather than cracking like a solid barrier would.

The basic components are straightforward. Metal posts (usually steel) are set in concrete. Horizontal rails run along the top and sometimes the bottom. The mesh fabric is stretched tight between them. The difference between a chain link fence that lasts five years and one that lasts fifty is the quality of materials and the precision of installation. The wire gauge, the coating quality, how deep the posts are set, and how properly the fabric is tensioned all determine whether you’re getting reliable security or just something that looks like a fence.

Chain Link Fencing Applications

Chain link fencing is surprisingly versatile. What works for containing energetic dogs also works for securing construction sites. The same basic structure that keeps tennis balls in bounds can protect valuable equipment or create safe play areas for children. The key is matching the right specifications to each specific need.

• Backyard boundaries: Define property lines while maintaining neighborly visibility. Black chain link fencing lets you establish clear boundaries tastefully without creating the “fortress” feeling that solid fencing can create.
• Dog runs and pet containment: Create safe, secure areas where pets can play freely without constant supervision. The visibility lets you keep an eye on your animals while giving them room to exercise.
• Pool enclosures: Meet required safety barriers that comply with most municipal codes. Chain link pool fencing provides the necessary security while allowing parents to monitor children from inside the house.
• Construction site security: Establish temporary or permanent barriers around active work zones. Protects both workers and the public while clearly defining restricted areas.
• Sports facilities: Perfect for tennis courts, basketball courts, and baseball backstops. The mesh contains balls and equipment while allowing spectators to watch games clearly.
• Commercial perimeters: Cost-effective security for large warehouses, parking lots, and industrial properties. Provides a visible deterrent while allowing security personnel to monitor the entire area.
• Garden protection: Keep deer, rabbits, and other animals out of vegetable gardens and flower beds. The mesh is fine enough to exclude pests but open enough to allow beneficial insects and pollinators through.
• High-security installations: Specialized applications for airports, utility plants, and detention facilities. These installations use enhanced specifications like anti-climb features and higher gauge materials for maximum security.
