Chain link options we install
Residential chain link
Great for pets, kids, and clear sightlines. Common upgrades include black vinyl-coated mesh, privacy slats, and walk gates for everyday access.
- Typical heights: 3′, 4′, 5′, 6′
- Pet-friendly mesh options
- Privacy slats (partial to full)
- Walk gates and driveway gates
Commercial & industrial chain link
Built for higher traffic and stronger security. We can spec heavier framework, taller heights, and security tops where appropriate.
- Typical heights: 6′, 8′, 10′, 12′
- Heavier gauges for added strength
- Top options: knuckle/knuckle, knuckle/barb, barbed wire, razor wire (where permitted)
- Vehicle gates and controlled access
Finishes & corrosion resistance
Louisiana humidity and coastal air can be tough on metal. We’ll recommend the right finish for your location and budget.
- Galvanized (classic silver)
- Vinyl-coated (often black) for a cleaner look and added protection
- Upgraded hardware where needed for corrosion resistance
Heights, gauges, and mesh sizes
We’ll match the build to your goals—pet containment, perimeter definition, or higher security. Common spec decisions include:
Fence height
Shorter heights are great for residential boundaries, while taller heights are common for commercial sites and security needs.
Wire gauge
Heavier gauge wire is stronger and holds up better in high-traffic areas. We’ll recommend a gauge based on use, height, and exposure.
Mesh opening
Smaller openings can help with pets and added security; standard openings keep costs down and maintain visibility.
Benefits of chain link fencing
- Cost-effective for long runs and large properties
- Durable in heat, humidity, and heavy rain
- Low maintenance compared to many fence types
- Visibility for safety and awareness
- Flexible upgrades like privacy slats, windscreens, and security tops

How we build/install chain link fences in Louisiana
1) Site walk & layout
We confirm property lines (as provided), gate locations, grade changes, and utility considerations—then map the fence run for clean corners and strong bracing.
2) Post setting
We set terminal and line posts for strength and long-term alignment, accounting for Louisiana soils, drainage, and storm conditions.
3) Framework & fabric
Rails, tension wire, and chain link fabric are installed and tensioned correctly to help prevent sagging and keep the fence looking sharp.
4) Gates, hardware & finish
We hang gates square, tune latches, and confirm smooth operation. If you choose slats, windscreens, or security tops, we install them cleanly and safely.

Chain link fence FAQs
Is black vinyl-coated chain link worth it?
For many Louisiana properties, yes. It offers a cleaner look and an added protective coating. We’ll recommend the right finish based on your location (including coastal exposure) and budget.
Can you add privacy to chain link?
Yes—privacy slats and windscreens can reduce visibility and help with wind and debris. We’ll help you choose the right level of privacy for your yard or site.
Do you install barbed wire or razor wire tops?
For commercial and industrial applications where appropriate and permitted, we can install security tops such as barbed wire or razor wire. We’ll review safety, placement, and local requirements during your estimate.
Can you install chain link gates with openers?
Yes. We install gates and can plan the layout for automation. See Gate Openers for options.
