Chain Link Fence Installation FAQ
What fence heights are available for chain link, and what’s typical for homes vs. businesses?
Most homes use 4–6 ft. Many business sites use 6–8 ft. Pools and sports areas may have set heights by local code.
How long does a chain link fence last?
Galvanized systems often last 15–25+ years. Vinyl‑coated fabric and heavier posts can add more life, especially in damp or coastal spots.
Do I need a permit in Milton for chain link fence installation?
Many projects do. We help check the rules, file the permit, and follow setbacks, height, and pool‑barrier rules.
Can chain link provide privacy?
Yes. We can add privacy slats or windscreens now or later. If you want full screening, a privacy fence may be better.
Is chain link safe for pets, and will they dig under it?
Yes, when stretched tight. Add a bottom tension wire, bottom rail, or a buried apron to stop digging.
What’s the difference between residential and commercial chain link?
Commercial uses heavier mesh, larger posts, thicker walls, and stronger fittings for more security and long life.
