Chain link fence installation in Dallas gives homeowners and businesses a strong, see-through perimeter for less than wood or iron: $15 to $70 per linear foot installed. Our typical residential build is 9-gauge mesh on steel posts set in concrete, with a top rail and bottom tension wire; commercial jobs step up to 6-gauge mesh and heavier posts.

Qualifying residential installations include our published 5-year workmanship warranty.
Footage, grade, access, removals, gates, and obstructions are reviewed before the scope is written.

| System | Best for | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| Galvanized | Backyards, side yards, utility runs | The economical option; never needs paint or stain |
| Black or green vinyl-coated | Front-facing runs, HOA neighborhoods, schools, parks | A bonded coating that cuts glare and adds corrosion protection |
| Privacy slats | Screening, in several colors | Stronger posts and closer spacing, because slats catch wind |
| Dog runs and backyards | Big, energetic dogs | Bottom tension wire or a dig guard for diggers; extra height for jumpers |
| Commercial perimeters | Warehouses, storage yards, schools, sports fields | 6 to 8 ft runs; 10 to 12 ft sports fencing where zoning allows |
What we install by default: 9-gauge mesh at homes (heavier than builder-grade 11-gauge), line posts no more than 10 feet apart, larger terminal posts at corners and gates, and a top rail on virtually every permanent fence. For full screening, compare privacy fence installation.
Most installs start within days of the approved estimate and take 1 to 5 days, depending on size; a permit or HOA approval, where needed, comes first. At a Dallas school, we installed over 1,000 feet of 6 ft black vinyl chain link fence in less than a week, coordinated with the general contractor and the school.
Your written estimate itemizes what moves the price within $15 to $70 per linear foot:
A residential job is usually 4 to 6 feet of 9-gauge mesh with a walk or drive gate. Commercial chain link runs 6 to 8 feet on heavier posts, with gates sized for trucks and equipment; see commercial fencing, or security fencing for barbed wire and controlled entry.
We're registered as a fence contractor with the city and pull the permit when your fence needs one; see the Dallas fence permit guide. Chain link isn't allowed for some pool enclosures; see pool fence installation. Qualifying residential installations carry our 5-year workmanship warranty; commercial coverage is set in the written proposal.
Practical answers about planning chain link fencing in Dallas.
Installed chain link runs $15 to $70 per linear foot. Footage, height, wire gauge, galvanized or vinyl-coated finish, gates, privacy slats and old-fence removal decide where yours lands. We measure on site and itemize each one in a written estimate.
Yes. As a fence contractor registered with the city, we pull the permit whenever the height or location requires one. Many HOAs restrict chain link or require black vinyl-coated; we prepare what yours asks for, and the decision stays with the HOA.
