The most cost-effective fencing option for residential yards, dog containment, and commercial properties. Galvanized and vinyl-coated chain link installed by experienced Grand Rapids fence contractors. Free estimates.
Get a Free EstimateChain link is the most practical choice when you need to enclose a large area, contain pets, secure a commercial property, or define a utility zone where function matters more than aesthetics. Available in galvanized steel (silver) and vinyl-coated (black, green, or brown), chain link handles Michigan weather with minimal maintenance and decades of reliable service.
Heights run from 3 feet to 8 feet. For dog containment, we recommend a minimum 5–6 foot height plus a tension wire along the bottom rail — dogs that dig under fences can be stopped with a properly tensioned bottom wire. For privacy, aluminum or vinyl slats thread through the mesh and cut visibility significantly without replacing the fence itself.

Commercial applications demand heavier materials than residential — we use 9 or 11 gauge mesh with 2-3/8" diameter posts set deeper in concrete for the rigidity and longevity that commercial sites require.
Commercial jobs are quoted on-site with detailed measurements. We work around active businesses and can phase installation to minimize operational disruption. Security topping options include barbed wire and razor ribbon for properties requiring enhanced perimeter deterrence. Call to discuss your commercial fencing project.
