Affordable, Durable, Low-Maintenance Security

Chain Link Fence Installation

When you need to secure a yard, contain a dog, or enclose a play area without spending a fortune, residential chain link is the smart, no-nonsense choice. It's the most affordable way to fully fence a property, it stands up to decades of Indiana weather, and it asks almost nothing of you in return — no staining, no sealing, no rotting boards. Precision Fencing installs clean, taut, properly tensioned chain link for homeowners across Fort Wayne, New Haven, and the surrounding Allen County communities.

Modern chain link doesn't have to look industrial, either. Black and green vinyl-coated mesh practically disappears into the landscape, giving you the security and durability of chain link with a softer, more residential look that complements your yard instead of fighting it.

Why it matters.

  • 01
    Galvanized vs. Vinyl-Coated

    Galvanized chain link is the classic, budget-friendly option. The steel is zinc-coated to resist rust, delivering a bright silver finish that holds up for years at the lowest price per foot. It's a workhorse choice for back and side yards, dog runs, and utility areas where function matters most.

    Black or green vinyl-coated chain link adds a fused polymer layer over the galvanized core. That coating resists rust even longer, feels smoother, and — importantly — blends into the background so the fence reads as a tidy boundary rather than an eyesore. For homeowners who want chain link's practicality with better curb appeal, vinyl-coated is well worth the modest upgrade.

    Built Taut and Square

    A chain link fence is only as good as its framework and tension. Sloppy installs sag, ripple, and pull loose from the posts within a season. We set line, terminal, and gate posts in concrete below the frost line, run a tight top rail, and stretch the mesh with proper tension bars and bands so the fabric stays drum-tight and square for the life of the fence.

    We also size the framework to the job — heavier terminal and gate posts where the fence takes the most stress, correct mesh gauge for the height, and quality tension wire along the bottom to keep pets from pushing under.

    Gates, Pets & Pools

    We build matching walk gates and double drive gates with self-latching hardware so the fence is genuinely useful, not just a boundary. For dog owners we can add bottom tension wire or a buried bottom rail to stop digging-out, and for pool owners we install fabric and gate hardware that helps meet local barrier and self-closing requirements.

Styles & Specifications

What goes in the ground.

The most cost-effective way to enclose a yard. Galvanized steel mesh on steel posts — it contains dogs and children, takes weather indefinitely, and doesn't block a view or a breeze.

Dog runs, large yards, utility areas, and budget-driven enclosures.

Black Vinyl-Coated Chain Link

Containment only4', 5', 6'

The same system in black-coated fabric. Black mesh visually disappears against a treeline in a way galvanized never does, so you get the function of chain link without it dominating the yard.

Recommended For

Wooded lots and back yards where you want containment without a silver fence in every photo.

01How much does a chain link fence cost in the Fort Wayne area?

Chain link is typically the most economical fencing option. Final pricing depends on linear footage, height, galvanized vs. vinyl-coated mesh, and the number of gates. We provide free, no-pressure written estimates with an exact number for your yard.

02Does chain link come in black?

Yes. Black vinyl-coated chain link is our most popular residential finish — it resists rust, looks far more refined than bare galvanized, and visually recedes into your landscaping. Green coating is also available.

03Will a chain link fence keep my dog in the yard?

Absolutely. We build to the right height for your dog and can add bottom tension wire or a buried bottom rail to discourage digging out. Self-latching gates keep the yard secure.

04How long does chain link last?

A properly installed galvanized or vinyl-coated chain link fence can last 20 years or more. Setting posts in concrete below the frost line and keeping the mesh correctly tensioned are the keys to longevity — exactly how we install every fence.

05Can chain link be used around a pool?

Yes. We install pool-appropriate mesh heights and self-closing, self-latching gate hardware to help meet local pool barrier codes. We'll confirm the specific requirements for your area during the estimate.
