Chain Link Fence Installation in Orlando, FL
Tough, affordable chain link fencing built right for Orlando properties — galvanized or vinyl-coated, with fast turnaround and lasting durability.
Chain Link Fence Installation in Orlando, FL
Chain link is the most cost-effective fencing option we install, and it's far from a one-size-fits-all product. We build chain link fences for residential backyards, dog runs, sports courts, commercial lots, and construction sites throughout Orlando and the surrounding towns. Whether you need a simple 4-foot yard enclosure in College Park or a 10-foot security fence around a warehouse near the airport, chain link gets the job done at a price point that other materials can't touch. For a side-by-side look at where chain link fits versus ornamental options, our <a href='/blog/chain-link-vs-aluminum'>chain link vs. aluminum comparison</a> spells it out.
We install both galvanized steel and vinyl-coated chain link. Standard galvanized is the budget pick and holds up well for years. Vinyl-coated chain link comes in black, green, and brown, which blends into landscaping much better than bare silver mesh and adds an extra layer of corrosion protection. In Orlando's humid climate, the vinyl coating extends the life of the fence and keeps it looking cleaner longer. We use heavy-gauge mesh fabric — typically 9 or 11 gauge — and commercial-weight framework. The thin, flimsy chain link you see on some budget installs starts sagging and bending within a couple years. Ours doesn't.
Post installation is where chain link fences succeed or fail, and Florida's sandy soil demands attention here. Terminal and line posts are set in concrete with proper depth for this region's soil conditions, and we tension the mesh fabric to manufacturer specs so it stays tight across every span. We install chain link with top rail, bottom tension wire, and optional bottom rail depending on the application. Gates, from standard walk gates to wide rolling cantilever gates, are part of what we do every day.

What We Offer
Our chain link fence installation services cover everything you need for your Orlando property.
Galvanized & Vinyl-Coated Options
Standard galvanized chain link gives you maximum value. Vinyl-coated options in black, green, and brown provide better aesthetics and extra corrosion resistance for Orlando's humid conditions.
Heavy-Gauge Mesh Fabric
We use 9-gauge and 11-gauge mesh as standard, not the lightweight 12.5-gauge that sags and bends. The heavier gauge holds tension better and resists damage from impacts, pets, and weather.
Pet & Child Containment
Chain link is one of the best containment options for dogs and kids. We add bottom tension wire to eliminate gaps at the ground, and the mesh openings are too small for most dogs to push through. It's the go-to for backyard dog runs across Orlando.
Privacy Slat Add-Ons
If you want more privacy from your chain link fence, we install vertical privacy slats in colors that match the mesh coating. It's a way to get partial screening without the cost of a full privacy fence.
Fast Installation Turnaround
Chain link installs faster than any other fence type. Most residential chain link projects in Orlando are completed in a single day, and even larger commercial jobs rarely take more than a few days.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about chain link fence installation in Orlando, FL.
How long does a chain link fence last in Orlando?
Galvanized chain link typically lasts 20–25 years in Orlando's climate. Vinyl-coated chain link can push 30+ years because the coating protects against corrosion from moisture and salt air. Either way, it's one of the longest-lasting fencing options per dollar spent.
Is chain link fencing allowed by Orlando HOAs?
It depends on the community. Some Orlando HOAs prohibit chain link on street-facing sides but allow it in backyards. Others don't allow it at all. Vinyl-coated black chain link is more commonly approved because it blends in better. We check your HOA rules before we quote so there aren't any surprises after installation.
Can you add a gate to an existing chain link fence?
Yes. We retrofit walk gates, double-swing gates, and rolling gates into existing chain link fence lines regularly. If your current fence is in good shape, adding a gate is a straightforward job. If it's showing its age, we might recommend a full fence repair at the same time.
What gauge chain link do you recommend for dogs?
We recommend 9-gauge mesh for large or energetic dogs and 11-gauge for smaller dogs. The heavier gauge resists bending and won't deform if a big dog hits it at a run. We also add bottom tension wire to prevent dogs from pushing under the fence, which is one of the most common escape methods we see.
