What types of chain link fencing does Olympic Fence install?
Olympic Fence Co installs a full range of chain link fencing systems across Massachusetts. Each option suits different applications, budgets, and looks. Our team recommends the right choice for your property during your free on-site estimate.
Galvanized Chain Link Fencing
The most popular and affordable chain link option. Zinc-coated galvanized steel resists corrosion and holds up to Massachusetts freeze-thaw winters. Best for perimeter fencing, commercial enclosures, sports facilities, and budget-conscious residential projects. Available in all standard heights and gauges.
Vinyl-Coated Chain Link Fencing
Black, green, or brown PVC coating gives vinyl-coated chain link a finished look that blends into residential landscaping. Popular in Massachusetts neighborhoods where curb appeal matters. The vinyl layer adds corrosion protection on top of the galvanized steel core. Available in all heights and gauges.
Adding privacy? We install high-density polyethylene privacy slats that thread vertically through the mesh, blocking most of the view while still standing up to wind. Considering other materials? We also install vinyl fencing, cedar fencing, ornamental aluminum and steel fencing, and privacy fencing across Massachusetts.
Residential Chain Link Fence Installation
Olympic Fence Co installs residential chain link fencing across Massachusetts for a wide range of jobs. Chain link is one of the most versatile and cost-effective fencing options available. It defines property lines, keeps pets safe, protects gardens, and encloses pools at a fraction of the cost of wood or vinyl.
Backyard and Property Line Fencing
Standard residential chain link comes in 3-foot to 6-foot heights. Four-foot fencing works well for yard definition and garden protection. Five and six-foot heights add security and pet containment. Vinyl-coated black chain link is the most popular residential finish in Massachusetts, blending into landscaping for a cleaner look than standard galvanized.
Pet, Dog, and Child Safety Fencing
Chain link is one of the most durable options for dog containment, resisting the scratching and chewing that damage wood fencing. We offer anti-dig bottom tension wire, self-closing spring-loaded gates, and custom dog runs sized to your yard. For pool areas, our chain link fencing meets Massachusetts pool safety codes with compliant heights and self-closing gate hardware.

Business Perimeter and Property Security
Olympic Fence Co installs heavy-duty commercial chain link fencing for warehouses, parking lots, equipment yards, and storage facilities across Massachusetts. Commercial installations use heavier wire gauges (9-gauge and 6-gauge) for maximum impact resistance, with security upgrades including barbed wire toppers, razor ribbon, and privacy slats for screening.
Construction Site and Temporary Fencing
Secure temporary chain link fencing for active construction sites, demolition projects, and municipal work zones. Our construction-grade chain link provides jobsite security and public safety compliance for the length of your project. We handle delivery, installation, and removal on your schedule.
Industrial and High-Security Chain Link Fencing
Perimeter Security for Industrial Facilities
Heavy-gauge, high-tensile chain link fencing for industrial sites, utility facilities, and secure storage areas. Available in 6-foot, 8-foot, and taller heights for maximum perimeter security. All installations comply with OSHA and Massachusetts industrial fencing regulations.
Barbed Wire and Razor Ribbon Toppers
For facilities that need extra deterrence, we install three-strand barbed wire and concertina razor ribbon on chain link fence systems. Common applications include storage facilities, utility substations, and restricted-access industrial properties.
How much does a chain link fence cost in Massachusetts?
Chain link is the most budget-friendly fence Olympic Fence installs, and usually the lowest-cost way to enclose a yard or secure a site. There is no single price per foot, because the total depends on the choices you make for your property. Here is what moves the number up or down:
The honest way to price a chain link fence is to look at the property. We measure the run, talk through height and finish, and give you a firm number in writing with no surprises. Request your free estimate or call 978-997-2302.
Should you install a chain link fence yourself or hire a pro?
You can install a chain link fence yourself, and plenty of homeowners do. It is one of the more DIY-friendly fence types. That said, it is heavier work than it looks, and the details are where a lot of DIY jobs go wrong.
What makes it harder than it looks
Setting line posts plumb and in a straight line, digging and pouring concrete footings below the frost line, and stretching the mesh tight enough that it does not sag are the three steps that separate a fence that lasts from one that leans in a season. Corner and end posts take the tension of the whole run, so if they are not set right, the fence pulls loose. In our climate, footings that are too shallow heave in the first hard winter.
When it pays to hire Olympic
A professional install comes out plumb and tight, meets local code and pool-safety rules, and is backed by our lifetime workmanship warranty. Because chain link is already our most affordable fence, the jump from a rented tensioning tool and a weekend of digging to a finished, warrantied fence is smaller than most people expect. If you want it done once and done right, get a free estimate and compare.
What chain link gate styles and sizes are available?
Every chain link fence installation includes properly framed and hung gates sized for your property's access needs. Olympic Fence Co installs all gate types for residential, commercial, and industrial applications.
Walk Gates
Single and double walk gates in 3-foot to 4-foot widths for pedestrian access to backyards, gardens, and side yards. Self-closing hinges and spring-loaded latches are available for pet enclosures and pool safety compliance.
Drive Gates and Slide Gates
Double drive gates in 10-foot to 16-foot widths for vehicle entry, common on commercial properties, farms, and large residential lots. Cantilever slide gates are available for driveways where swing clearance is limited. All gate hardware is galvanized or powder-coated for long-term durability.
Do you repair chain link fences in Massachusetts?
Yes. Olympic Fence Co provides full chain link fence repair services across Massachusetts. We repair all makes and ages of chain link fencing, not just fences we installed.
Common Chain Link Fence Damage in New England
Massachusetts freeze-thaw cycles are hard on fence posts, and heaving, cracking, and leaning are common after harsh winters. Storm damage from fallen tree branches and vehicle strikes can bend framework and tear mesh. Rust and corrosion on older galvanized fencing can spread if left untreated.
Repair vs. Replace
In many cases, targeted repairs are faster and more cost-effective than a full replacement. Our repair work includes post straightening and replacement, fabric re-tensioning, gate realignment, section replacement, and hardware upgrades. We assess the damage and give you an honest recommendation on whether repair or replacement makes the most sense for your situation.
What chain link fence wire gauge do you need?
Wire gauge sets the thickness and strength of your chain link fabric. A lower gauge number means thicker, stronger wire. Olympic Fence stocks all standard gauges and recommends the right option for your application and budget.
| Gauge | Wire Diameter | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| 6-gauge | Thickest | Industrial facilities, high-security perimeters, restricted access areas |
| 9-gauge | Heavy-duty | Commercial properties, business perimeters, equipment yards |
| 11-gauge | Standard | Residential fencing, pet containment, general property enclosures |
| 11.5-gauge | Light | Temporary fencing, construction site enclosures |
For most Massachusetts residential projects, 11-gauge galvanized chain link is the standard. Commercial and business properties usually benefit from 9-gauge for extra strength. Industrial and high-security applications call for 6-gauge heavy-duty wire.

What do customers say about Olympic Fence?
Chain link fencing FAQs
In most cases, yes. Chain link is the most affordable fence material we install, usually costing less than wood, vinyl, or ornamental aluminum for the same run. Galvanized is the lowest-cost finish, and vinyl-coated adds a small premium for the look. If your priority is enclosing a yard or securing a site on a budget, chain link is almost always the value pick.
The total depends on linear footage, fence height, wire gauge, gate count, and finish (galvanized vs. vinyl-coated). Privacy slats and barbed wire add cost too. Because every property is different, we give you a firm price in writing after we measure. Request your free estimate or call 978-997-2302.
Chain link is one of the more DIY-friendly fences, but it is real work. The hard parts are setting posts plumb and straight, pouring footings below the frost line so they do not heave in winter, and stretching the mesh tight so it does not sag. Corner and end posts carry the tension of the whole run, so they have to be set right. Many homeowners handle a short, flat run, but hire out longer runs, slopes, and anything that needs to meet pool-safety code.
Galvanized chain link has a zinc coating for corrosion resistance and is the most affordable option, ideal for commercial, industrial, and utilitarian uses. Vinyl-coated chain link adds a PVC layer in black, green, or brown for better looks in residential settings, plus an extra layer of corrosion protection. Both hold up well in the Massachusetts climate.
For most residential uses, 11-gauge chain link is standard. Commercial properties benefit from 9-gauge for added strength and impact resistance. Industrial and high-security applications should use 6-gauge heavy-duty wire. We stock all gauges and recommend the right option for your project during your free estimate.
Chain link is one of the most durable and secure options for dog containment. We recommend 5 to 6-foot heights for large or athletic breeds, and offer anti-dig bottom extensions and self-closing spring-loaded gates for extra security. Chain link also resists the chewing and scratching that would compromise a wood fence.
