Residential chain link fencing for yards, pools & dogs
An economical, low-maintenance way to fence a yard, pet area, or pool. Dog owners love that the open mesh gives pets room to run while keeping them in view — it’s the standard pick for dog runs and kennels. A tight-mesh, climb-resistant chain link fence also works as a pool barrier without blocking your view of the water. We install galvanized, black, or green vinyl-coated chain link in any height, with walk and drive gates to match — green chain link fence installation is a favorite where the fence should fade into planting beds and tree lines.
Commercial & security chain link
Heavy-gauge perimeters for businesses, warehouses, schools, and job sites — with chain link gates, barbed-wire toppers, privacy slats, and windscreen when you need them. A clearly fenced, gated perimeter deters vandalism, theft, and trespassing and keeps visitors where they’re supposed to be. Explore all our commercial fencing options.
Athletic & sports field fences
Backstops, ball fields, tennis and pickleball courts, and multi-sport enclosures — sized, tensioned, and gated for play. Green chain link fence installation is the classic look for ball fields, while black vinyl-coated mesh recedes behind tennis and pickleball courts.
Galvanized vs. vinyl-coated chain link: which finish is right?
Both resist rust for years with essentially no maintenance — the choice comes down to budget and looks. Here’s how the two finishes compare.
| Bright galvanizedthe budget workhorse | Black / green vinyl-coatedthe landscape-friendly pick | |
|---|---|---|
| Primary advantage | Most economical, highly durable | Blends into landscaping for a cleaner, premium look |
| Best for | Commercial perimeters, job sites, and budget yards | Residential yards, pools, and athletic courts |
| Mesh & gauge | Usually 9-gauge commercial, 11-gauge residential with a 2-inch diamond | Same heights and gauges with a PVC coating over the steel — plus heavy 6-gauge black mesh for athletic fields, thicker and stronger |
| Cost | The baseline of the $10–20 per foot installed range | Trends toward the top of the $10–20 range — black-coated runs price above galvanized |

My wife and I had a black chain link fence installed at our new home to contain our dog and keep deer and other wildlife out. Tony and his team over at FenceWorks really showed up! Their processes from quote to finish were seamless! Anytime I needed to communicate with questions they were there to answer. The install day went great. It was completed with timely efficiency. Top-tier experience! 100% recommend.

Chain link fence FAQ
Quick answers on cost, finishes, height, pets, pools, and security add-ons.
How much does a chain link fence cost in Atlanta?
Chain link is one of the most budget-friendly fences we install. Cost depends on height, gauge, galvanized vs. vinyl-coated, and the number of gates. We give free, itemized on-site estimates so you get a real number for your yard or property. As a 2026 ballpark, chain link runs about $10–20 per foot installed (black and taller heights toward the top).
Galvanized or black vinyl-coated — which is better?
Galvanized is the most economical and very durable. Black or green vinyl-coated chain link looks cleaner, blends into landscaping, and resists rust — black chain link fence installation is the popular choice for homes. We’ll help you decide.
Do you install residential and commercial chain link?
Yes — backyard, pet, and pool enclosures for homes, plus heavy-gauge security perimeters, warehouses, schools, and athletic fields for commercial clients across metro Atlanta.
Can you add privacy slats, barbed wire, or windscreen?
Yes. We add privacy slats or windscreen for screening, and barbed-wire or razor toppers for security — all matched to the fence and your local code.
How tall can a chain link fence be?
Residential chain link is usually 4 to 6 feet; commercial and athletic fencing commonly runs 6 to 12 feet or higher. We’ll recommend the right height and gauge for your use and any HOA or permit rules.
Is chain link a good fence for dogs?
One of the best. It’s secure, durable, and see-through — your dog gets room to run and learn the boundaries of home while you keep an eye on them, and people and other animals stay safely on their side of the fence. We size the height and mesh to your dog.
Can chain link be used as a pool fence?
Often, yes. Georgia pool-barrier rules generally require a fence at least 48 inches tall that small children can’t easily climb, with a self-closing, self-latching gate — a tight-mesh chain link fits the bill, and it’s splinter-free and keeps the water in full view. Requirements vary by city and county, so check what applies to your pool and we’ll build to it.
How well does chain link hold up in Georgia storms?
Very well. Because the mesh is flexible, chain link shrugs off falling limbs and high winds better than rigid fencing, and it’s surprisingly hard to cut through. Galvanized and vinyl-coated finishes both resist rust for years with essentially no maintenance.
Do you repair chain link fences?
Yes. We re-stretch loose or sagging mesh, replace bent top rail and rusted posts, rehang gates, and repair storm- and tree-damaged runs — often the same visit as your estimate. When a section is past repair, we’ll quote a straightforward replacement.
