Chain Link Fence Installation Company MN

Chain link fences are everywhere; from schools to baseball fields, backyards to playgrounds, you probably can’t leave your house without seeing a chain link fence somewhere around your neighborhood. So why are chain link fences so popular? No matter who you are, when you’re installing a fence, you’re looking for a fencing material that’s strong and durable enough to survive harsh Minnesota snow storms, blazing sunlight, and especially the not-so-occasional hail storms. When you factor in the weight, pricing, and color coatings available for chain link fencing,

it’s really no wonder why you see so many chain link fences in the Twin Cities. Whether you’re looking to protect your property, increase property value, or define property lines, a chain link fence could be the perfect option for your residential or commercial fencing needs. Available in both galvanized steel and color coating, chain link fences can be customized for any residential or commercial need, blending in with their surroundings and providing your property with a protective barrier. With a chain link fence, you’ll have the benefit of a uniquely protective and unobtrusive fencing system, often used for tennis courts, school boundaries, airport runways, baseball fields, and countless other commercial and residential fencing needs.

We Use Only Galvanized Chain Link Materials

All of our chain link fencing systems, including PVC coated color chain link fences, are made from galvanized steel, the perfect material for durability and strength – two things that are necessary when protecting your property. In addition to the durability of the material itself, our galvanized chain link fences are hot-dipped in a zinc coating that is proven to provide a layer of protection against corrosive agents. As a time-tested protectant against weathering and corrosion, zinc has been used for more than 200 years, and it still remains a highly reliable form of protection that’s meant to last several years. Our galvanized fencing systems are also made affordable because we install fencing systems with fittings and fixtures made from die-cast aluminum, a low-maintenance and rugged material. These aluminum fittings include, the fencing ties that attach the chain link fabric to the fencing framework, caps, rail ends, and eye tops, ensuring that the chain link fences we install are both durable and affordable.

Chain Link Fencing In A Variety Of Colors

Colored chain link fencing can be a very simple way for homeowners and commercial property owners to accent their property while outlining and defining their property lines. With a variety of color options available, you’ll find chain link fences that blend into their environment or stand out to create contrast, creating a unique aesthetic no matter what you choose. Colored chain link fence systems also have the added benefit of having a dual layer of protection against corrosion, providing a longer-lasting fencing system than many properties can boast. With zinc-coated galvanized steel framework specifically designed to prevent metal corrosion, colored chain link fences are fully protected from weather damage with an additional extruded polyvinyl chloride (PVC) coating. With the promise of double layer protection, when we install a colored chain link fence, we know that it will last for years and years before it begins to break down, which means that you’ll have quite a while to be satisfied with your fencing system before you even have to think about making repairs.

Advantages of Using Chain Link For Your Next Fence

If you’re searching for the perfect fencing system for your needs, know the advantages of a commercial or residential chain link fence:

• Durable, low-maintenance fencing – Galvanized steel chain link fences require very little maintenance, if any, because the treatment process of galvanized steel provides a layer of protection from rusting and weathering. If you choose to install a colored chain link fence, the added layer of vinyl coating will provide a dual layer of protection, helping your fence last even longer than a standard galvanized steel fence.
• Affordable fencing system – Chain link fences are the most affordable fencing systems, which is part of the reason that you see so many. Between the longevity of these fences and the low cost of installation, there simply isn’t a more affordable fencing option that will last as long as a galvanized chain link fence.
• Custom color options – Most chain link fences you see may be standard galvanized steel fencing systems, but if you choose to invest in the added layer of PVC protection, you’ll have the added benefit of a color-coated chain link fence, typically with the choice of black, green, or brown.
• Security – Whether you’re keeping your pets and children at home with a small fence, or you’re trying to keep trespassers out with a taller fence that’s difficult to climb, a chain link fence of your specified height and weight will fit the bill.
• Privacy – Although chain link fences do not create a line of privacy themselves, with decorative polyethylene slats that are tinted to match your chain link fence, you can create a more private fencing system.

Black Chain Link Fencing:

Black chain link is the most requested color upgrade we install, and it’s not just about looks. The black PVC coating sits over the same galvanized steel core as our standard fencing, so you get the same strength and the same protection against rust and pitting, just with a finish that blends into landscaping instead of standing out against it.

We see black chain links go up most often around backyards where the homeowner wants a fence that disappears into the tree line, and around commercial properties where a business wants security without the fence looking like a prison yard. It costs somewhat more than plain galvanized steel because of the extra coating step, but most customers tell us it’s worth it once they see it installed next to a plain chain link fence on the same street.

Black chain link comes in the same height and gauge options as our standard chain link, so whether you need it tall enough to keep dogs in the yard or heavy enough to hold up around a loading dock, we spec it the same way we would any other job.

FAQs

Q: How much more does black chain link cost than galvanized steel chain link?

A: Expect to pay somewhat more per linear foot for black or any color-coated chain link compared to plain galvanized steel. The exact difference depends on the height and gauge you choose, and we’ll break it down in your free estimate.

Q: Does color-coated chain link rust?

A: The PVC coating adds a second layer of protection over the galvanized steel underneath, so it actually holds up against rust better than plain galvanized chain link over time, not worse.

Q: What chain link gauge do you recommend for commercial properties?

A: Commercial jobs, especially fenced storage yards and loading areas, usually call for a heavier gauge than a typical backyard fence. We’ll walk the site with you and recommend a gauge based on what the fence needs to hold up against.

Q: Can you match an existing chain link fence if I only need part of it replaced?

A: In most cases, yes. We’ll need the height, gauge, and color of what’s currently installed, and we can usually source a close or exact match.

Q: Do you install chain link gates as part of a fence project?

A: Yes. Roller gates and swing gates are both options depending on the size of the opening and how the fence is being used, and we’ll talk through which one fits your property during the estimate.
