We install chain link fencing in four standard heights. The right height depends on your purpose, property layout, and any City of Burleson or HOA height restrictions.
Height | Best For | Typical Use | Price Range/LF |
4 ft | Property boundaries, front yards, garden enclosures | Residential | $10–$15 |
5 ft | Pet containment for small/medium dogs, side yards | Residential | $12–$18 |
6 ft | Backyard privacy with slats, full pet containment, pool enclosures | Residential / light commercial | $15–$22 |
8 ft | Security perimeters, commercial lots, industrial, sports fields | Commercial / industrial | $18–$28+ |
All chain link fences use steel terminal posts (corners, ends, gates) and line posts set in concrete footings. Post spacing, rail configuration (top rail standard; bottom rail optional for added rigidity), and tension wire placement are adjusted based on fence height and intended use.
Chain link mesh is measured by wire gauge — a lower number means thicker, stronger wire:
Standard mesh opening is 2 inches (diamond pattern). Smaller mesh openings are available for specialized security applications.
Every chain link fence we install in Burleson uses galvanized steel as the base material. The key decision is whether to go with standard galvanized or upgrade to a vinyl (PVC) coating for enhanced appearance and corrosion resistance.
Feature | Standard Galvanized | Vinyl-Coated |
Appearance | Silver/metallic finish | Available in black, green, brown, white |
Corrosion resistance | Good — zinc coating protects steel | Better — PVC layer adds extra barrier |
Lifespan | 20-25 years | 20–25+ years |
Cost | Lower — most budget-friendly option | ~15–25% more than standard galvanized |
Best for | Backyards, pet runs, utility areas | Front yards, visible property lines, HOA areas |
Maintenance | Minimal — inspect occasionally for rust | Minimal — PVC resists fading and rust |
Curb appeal | Functional, industrial look | Blends with landscaping, more residential feel |
In Burleson subdivisions with HOA requirements for front-yard fencing appearance, vinyl-coated chain link in black or green is often the easiest way to meet aesthetic guidelines while keeping costs well below ornamental iron.
A standard chain link fence provides excellent visibility and boundary definition. But depending on your needs, several add-ons can enhance privacy, security, or appearance:
Vertical or diagonal slats woven through the chain link mesh provide 70–90% visual screening. Available in multiple colors to complement vinyl coatings. Ideal for backyards, pool areas, and properties bordering busy streets in Burleson.
Fabric mesh attached to the chain link for dust screening, wind reduction, and partial shade. Common on commercial properties, sports fields, and construction perimeters.
For commercial, industrial, and agricultural applications where maximum deterrence is needed. Barbed wire arms extend above the chain link fabric on angled brackets. Razor wire (concertina) provides the highest security level. Note: barbed wire is generally restricted in residential zones within Burleson city limits — we confirm local code compliance before installation.
Every chain link installation includes gate planning. We install single walk gates, double swing gates for driveways and equipment access, and sliding/cantilever gates for commercial properties. All gates use matching galvanized or vinyl-coated frames with appropriate latch and lock hardware.
Chain link is the most affordable fencing option per linear foot in Burleson. Typical installed costs range from $10 to $28+ per linear foot depending on:
A typical Burleson residential chain link project (150–200 LF, 4–6 ft, galvanized, 1 walk gate) usually falls in the $2,000–$5,000 range. Commercial projects with 8-ft height, heavier gauge, and security add-ons cost more.
