Is chain link good for dogs?

It is one of the most practical dog fences there is. The mesh keeps pets in without blocking the view, and we run the bottom close to the ground so there is no gap to squeeze under. For dogs that dig, ask us about the ground along the fence line when we come out.

Can you put a gate in a chain link fence?

Yes. We build single walk gates and double drive gates in chain link, hung on gate posts set in concrete so they swing and latch the way they should.

Do you install chain link for businesses?

Yes. We install commercial security fencing, equipment enclosures and fenced lots, and we can clear and grade the fence line first, since we are an excavation company too.

Can you repair an existing chain link fence?

Usually, yes. Bent top rails, torn fabric, loose ties and leaning posts can be fixed without replacing the whole run. Our fence repair page covers what that work involves.

Chain link fencing in Brunswick, GA: strong, low-cost fences for homes and businesses

When you need a fence that keeps things in and out without blocking the view, chain link is hard to beat.

Chain link does the job most fences are really bought for. It keeps dogs and kids in the yard, marks a property line, closes off a side passage or an equipment area, and secures a commercial lot, and it does all of that for less than most other fence types. Golden Isles Fencing and Excavation installs chain link fencing for homes and businesses in Brunswick and across the Golden Isles, with walk and drive gates to match.

We are a family-owned, Christian-based company, and we build chain link the same way we build every fence: posts set right, lines straight, and a clean site when we leave.

Where chain link makes sense

Back yards and dogs. A secure yard for pets and children, with an open view across the lawn.
Side passages and equipment. A short run and a gate to close off the side of a house, the AC units or the trash cans.
Property lines on larger lots. Long runs where a solid privacy fence would cost far more than the job needs.
Commercial security fencing. Fenced lots, storage areas and equipment enclosures for businesses.

Galvanized or black coated

Plain galvanized chain link is the silver fence most people picture. It is the most economical choice and it holds up well. Black coated chain link adds a vinyl coating over the wire, so the fence fades into hedges, trees and dark trim instead of shining in the sun, and the coating gives the metal an extra layer against the salt air on the coast. The framework underneath is the same either way, so pick the look you want to live with.

How we build it

A chain link fence is only as straight as its posts. We set the corner, end and gate posts deep in concrete first, run a top rail between them so the fence cannot sag, and then stretch the fabric tight from post to post. The mesh is tied to the rail and the posts along the whole run, and we keep the bottom close to the ground so pets cannot slip under. Where the fence line crosses uneven ground, the fence follows the grade instead of leaving gaps.

Because we are also an excavation company, we can clear brush along an overgrown fence line or level a rough strip of ground before the posts go in. That makes for a straighter fence and one crew instead of two.
