Chain link fencing is galvanized, making it very strong and can be cut to fit any size. When compared to other fence materials, chain link is among the least expensive to install. If budget is a concern, consider chain link. Chain link can also be easily customized by height, gauge, and color coatings. It also can be installed quickly compared to other fence types.
When properly installed, chain link fencing is durable and low maintenance. Thanks to galvanized, aluminized or vinyl coating, it won’t rust or gather dirt. Chain link fencing is effectively see-through. Visibility can be a huge benefit, as it only allows you to see people approaching, but also enables sunlight to get through.
If a section of fencing gets damaged somehow – vandalism, perhaps – it can be replaced easily, and the repair work won’t be noticeable.

Is chain link fencing a good option for residential properties in Augusta?
Absolutely. Chain link is one of the most practical choices for Augusta homeowners who need a reliable, durable fence without a large investment. It works especially well for dog runs, side yards, backyard enclosures, and pool surrounds — anywhere you need a secure boundary that holds up in Georgia’s heat and humidity without a lot of ongoing maintenance.
What makes chain link a smart choice for commercial properties in Augusta?
Chain link is one of the most cost-effective ways to secure a commercial property without sacrificing durability. It’s fast to install, easy to maintain, and available in heavy-duty gauges built for high-traffic and high-security environments. We install commercial chain link for equipment yards, warehouses, school grounds, athletic facilities, and business perimeters throughout the CSRA.
What gauges of chain link do you install?
We install both residential and commercial-grade chain link. For standard residential use, 11- or 11.5-gauge is common. For commercial properties, high-traffic areas, or locations that need heavier security, we use 9-gauge or stronger — including Schedule 40 pipe for posts and rails to maximize structural integrity.
Can chain link be made more private?
Yes. We install privacy slats and shade cloth directly into chain link fencing to significantly reduce visibility through the fence. Privacy slats thread vertically through the chain link and are available in several colors. It’s a cost-effective way to add privacy to an existing or new chain link installation without replacing the fence entirely.
Does chain link rust?
Standard galvanized chain link is treated to resist rust and corrosion. We also offer vinyl-coated and aluminized options that provide an extra layer of protection — and a cleaner look — especially in areas with prolonged moisture exposure or near pools. Properly coated chain link can last 15–20 years or more with minimal upkeep.
What heights are available for chain link fencing in Augusta?
Chain link is one of the most flexible fence types when it comes to height. We install chain link in standard residential heights — typically 4 or 6 feet — as well as taller configurations for commercial or security applications. We cut and customize every installation to fit your specific property.
Do I need a permit for chain link fence installation in Augusta or Columbia County?
In many cases, yes. Richmond County requires permits for new fence installations, and Columbia County has its own requirements for properties in Evans, Grovetown, and Martinez. We stay current on local codes and will walk you through what your project requires before we ever start digging posts.
Is chain link fencing allowed around pools in Georgia?
Yes, and it’s one of the most common materials we use for pool enclosures in the Augusta area. Georgia has specific requirements for pool fence height, gate hardware, and latch placement — we install pool fencing that meets those standards so you’re covered from both a safety and compliance standpoint.
Can you add a gate to a chain link fence?
Yes — and we build them to match. We install swing gates, double drive gates, and automated gate operators on chain link fencing for both residential and commercial properties. Gates are set on sturdy posts with commercial-grade hinges and latches, and we can add access control operators if you want the convenience of a driveway gate that opens without getting out of your vehicle.
How quickly can a chain link fence be installed?
Chain link installs faster than most other fence types. A standard residential chain link fence can typically be completed in a single day, depending on the size of the property and whether gates are included. Commercial projects with longer runs or more complex configurations may require additional time — we’ll give you a realistic timeline during your free estimate.
