When Chain Link Makes Sense
Chain link is the best-value fence per linear foot for most practical applications. It's not the most attractive option, but for large lots, dog runs, sports courts, utility areas, or property line definition, it's the practical choice.
Dog containment
Heavy-gauge galvanized holds up to determined diggers and climbers. We set posts deep.
Large lot perimeters
The most affordable way to fence a quarter-acre or larger lot.
Property line definition
Clear, durable boundary marker. Outlasts most other fence types at this price point.
Security fencing
Add barbed wire or privacy slats to standard chain link for added security.
Commercial applications
We fence commercial and light industrial properties throughout Nassau and Suffolk.
Vinyl-coated option
Black or green PVC coating over galvanized steel. Better looking than standard silver galvanized.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does chain link fence last on Long Island?
Galvanized chain link lasts 20 to 30 years in most conditions. Near the coast in eastern Long Island, salt air accelerates corrosion. For coastal properties, vinyl-coated chain link adds another 5 to 10 years of life. We use heavy-gauge galvanized wire and set posts deeper than standard to prevent loosening from frost heave.
What is vinyl-coated chain link and is it worth it?
Vinyl-coated chain link has a layer of PVC (usually black or green) bonded over the galvanized steel wire. It looks significantly better than bare silver galvanized and adds corrosion protection. Cost is about $4 to $8 more per linear foot. For front yards or visible areas, it's usually worth it. For utility areas, standard galvanized is fine.
What is the cheapest fence option for a large lot on Long Island?
Chain link is the most cost-effective fence type per linear foot. Standard 4-foot galvanized chain link runs $12 to $20 per linear foot installed, compared to $28+ for vinyl or wood. For a half-acre lot needing 400 linear feet of fencing, the difference is $6,000 to $8,000 in material cost. Chain link is the practical choice for large utility applications.
Can chain link fence contain large dogs?
Yes, but gauge matters. We use 11-gauge or heavier wire for dog containment, which is significantly harder to push through than standard 9-gauge. We also install tension wire at the bottom and top rails. For large or very determined dogs, we recommend 6-foot height with a coyote roller or dig guard at the base.
How much does chain link fence installation cost on Long Island?
Standard galvanized chain link runs $12 to $20 per linear foot installed for 4-foot height. Six-foot galvanized runs $16 to $25. Vinyl-coated (black or green) is $16 to $32 depending on height. These prices include posts, rails, fabric, gates, and cleanup. Free written estimates for any size job.
