Why Chain Link Fencing?
Chain link fencing has been one of the most trusted fencing solutions for over a century. It combines strength, visibility, and value in a way that few other materials can match. Whether you’re a homeowner looking to secure your yard or a property manager maintaining a larger site, chain link delivers dependable performance across a wide range of applications.

Residential Chain Link Fence Installation
For homeowners throughout the Chicago area, a chain link fence is one of the most practical and dependable ways to protect your property, contain pets, and create a defined outdoor space for your family. At Fencing By Wall, we specialize in residential chain link fence installations that are tailored to how you use your yard, built to last, and designed to fit your property.
A chain link fence is an excellent choice for enclosing a backyard where children play or pets roam. Its strong, woven steel construction keeps dogs and kids safely within your property while giving you visibility across your entire yard. We can customize height, gate placement, and post spacing to match your yard's specific layout and your family's needs.
Clearly marking your property line prevents disputes with neighbors and gives your home a more finished, intentional look. A chain link fence is a clean, no-fuss way to delineate your boundaries without the visual weight of a solid privacy fence, making it a popular choice in neighborhoods where open, friendly aesthetics matter.
For homeowners who want additional rigidity and a cleaner, more grid-like appearance, we also install galvanized steel welded wire fence systems. These are commonly used for garden enclosures, decorative boundaries, and areas where a tighter mesh is needed to contain smaller animals. The galvanized coating provides excellent rust resistance, making it especially well-suited for Chicago's wet winters and humid summers.
A fence is only as functional as its entry points. We install single and double walk gates, as well as wider drive gates for vehicle access, all designed to swing smoothly and latch securely. Whether you need a simple side-yard gate or a wider opening for lawn equipment, we'll ensure your access points are built into your fence system from the start.

Repair Chain Link - When to Fix vs. Replace
Common situations where we can repair chain link include:
caused by tension loss, vehicle impact, or shifting posts
from weather events, impact, or deterioration at the base
where the galvanized coating has worn away
that prevents proper latching and operation
requiring re-stretching or panel replacement
If your fence has widespread corrosion, multiple compromised posts, or has simply reached the end of its useful life, we’ll give you a candid assessment and a clear recommendation for replacement.

Chain Link Fence FAQs
How long does a chain link fence last?
A properly installed chain link fence typically lasts 20–30 years or more. Galvanized coatings resist rust and corrosion, and the woven steel construction holds up well under heavy use and changing weather conditions. Routine visual inspections and occasional tension adjustments can extend the lifespan even further.
How much does chain link fence installation cost?
Costs vary depending on fence height, total linear footage, gate configuration, and whether you're choosing standard chain link or a galvanized steel welded wire fence. The best way to get an accurate number is through an on-site consultation, where we can assess your property and provide a tailored estimate.
Can you repair chain link rather than replace it?
In many cases, yes. We repair sagging fabric, bent posts, broken gate hardware, and sections damaged by impact or weather. If the damage is localized, repair is often a cost-effective alternative to full replacement. We'll evaluate your existing fence and give you an honest recommendation either way.
What is a galvanized steel welded wire fence?
A galvanized steel welded wire fence uses a rigid, grid-patterned mesh rather than the interlocking diamond pattern of traditional chain link. The welded joints provide added strength and a cleaner visual appearance, making it well-suited for garden enclosures, decorative property borders, and applications where a tighter mesh is needed to contain smaller animals or secure a perimeter more rigidly.
Do I need a permit to install a chain link fence?
Permit requirements vary by municipality and HOA. Our team will help you understand the local regulations in your area and ensure your project is fully compliant before installation begins.
