Is chain link good for dogs?

Very functional fence for dogs. Keeps pets in but doesn't impede your view. We keep the bottom of the fence low to the ground to prevent it from being able to sneak underneath. If you have dogs that dig, we can discuss the ground around the fence line when we stop out.

Can you put a gate in a chain link fence?

Yes, we make single walk gates and double drive gates in chain link with concrete gate posts so that the gates swing and latch properly.

Do you install chain link for businesses?

Yes, we do commercial security fencing and equipment enclosures and gated lots. We can even clear and grade the area that the fence is going up since we're an excavation company as well.

Can you repair an existing chain link fence?

Most of the time. Repairing a bent top rail, a ripped fabric, a loose tie or a leaning post does not necessarily mean replacing the whole thing. See our fence repair page for details of what is involved in doing this.

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 fences are about what most people are after with their fences anyway. Contain dogs and kids. Delineate a boundary. Block a side alleyway. Or machinery storage area. Guard a commercial property. But do it for less than most other fencing types. And, Golden Isles Fencing and Excavation can set chain link fencing for your home or business in Brunswick and the Golden Isles. Including walk and drive gates.

Here at Golden Isles Fencing and Excavation, we're a Christian-based family-owned business. We install chain link fences just like all the other fences we install. Straight lines. Properly installed posts. And we'll clean the work site up when we're done.

Where chain link makes sense

Back yards and dogs. Secured area for pets and kids. See through to the lawn.
Side passages and equipment. Quick run and gate to block off side of house, AC units, garbage cans etc.
Property lines on larger lots. Long runs where the cost of the solid privacy fence is far more than the work requires.
Commercial security fencing. Fenced areas, storage, equipment areas for businesses.

Galvanized or black coated

Silver chain link, the galvanized chain link fence, that's the common vision of chain link fence. It's the least expensive way to go and it's reliable. The black chain link fence gets vinyl coating over the wire. This allows it to blend in with the hedges, trees, dark trim, and not reflect the sun. Plus, it gives the metal a second layer of protection from the salt air if you're on the coast. The metal underneath is all the same. Just choose what you'll enjoy looking at.

How we build it

A chain link fence is only as straight as its posts. We start by embedding the corner and end posts and gate posts deep in concrete. Then we add a top rail between them, so it can't sag. After that we pull the fence nice and tight post to post. The fabric is tied to the rail and post, the entire length of the run. We make sure the bottom of the fence is almost touching the ground so your pet can't slip through. If the fence runs across uneven terrain, we will follow the contour rather than having gaps.

We also happen to be an excavation company. So we can clean out brush if a fence is in an overgrown area, or if there is a rough strip of land, we can make it level before we put the posts. This will result in a straighter fence and only one crew vs two.
