Types of Chain Link Fencing We Install
Olympic Fence Co. installs a full range of chain link fencing systems across Massachusetts. Each material option is suited to different applications, budgets, and aesthetic preferences. Our team will recommend 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 performs well in Massachusetts' freeze-thaw climate. 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, polished look that blends with residential landscapes. Popular in Massachusetts neighborhoods where curb appeal matters. The vinyl layer adds extra corrosion protection beyond the galvanized steel core. Available in all heights and gauges.
Considering other fencing materials for your property? 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 applications. 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 is available in 3-foot to 6-foot heights. Four-foot fencing works well for yard definition and garden protection. Five-foot to six-foot heights provide security and pet containment. Vinyl-coated black chain link is the most popular residential finish in Massachusetts - it blends naturally with landscaping and provides a cleaner look than standard galvanized.
Pet, Dog, and Child Safety Fencing
Chain link is one of the most durable options for dog containment - it resists scratching and chewing that would 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 duration 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 10-foot+ heights for maximum perimeter security. All installations comply with OSHA and Massachusetts industrial fencing regulations.
Barbed Wire and Razor Ribbon Toppers
For facilities requiring enhanced 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.
Chain Link Fence Gates - Styles, Sizes, and Hardware
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.
Chain Link Fence Repair in Massachusetts
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 - 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 fence replacement. Our repair work includes post straightening and replacement, fabric re-tensioning, gate realignment, section replacement, and hardware upgrades. We'll assess the damage and give you an honest recommendation on whether repair or replacement makes the most sense for your situation.
Chain Link Fence Wire Gauge - What's Right for Your Project?
Wire gauge determines the thickness and strength of your chain link fence fabric. A lower gauge number means thicker, stronger wire. Olympic Fence stocks all standard gauges and will recommend the right option for your specific 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 typically benefit from 9-gauge for extra strength. Industrial and high-security applications call for 6-gauge heavy-duty wire.

Galvanized chain link has a zinc coating for corrosion resistance and is the most affordable option - ideal for commercial, industrial, and utilitarian applications. Vinyl-coated chain link has an additional PVC layer available in black, green, or brown, providing better aesthetics for residential settings while adding an extra layer of corrosion protection. Both options perform 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.

Olympic Fence Co. stocks all gauges and will recommend the right option for your specific project during your free estimate.
