Chain Link Variations & Wire Gauges

Gauge indicates total steel wire thickness. Lower numbers mean a thicker, more robust, and secure mesh wall.

The Engineering Process Behind Our Chain Link Fences

Every Super Fence Co. installation follows the same professional process from first contact to completed fence-

01

Layout Mapping

We trace your property bounds on-site, analyze grade drop slope alterations, and map gate clear paths.

02

Terminal Post Curing

Corner and gate strain-bearing post footers are sunk 30–36 inches down below the PA frost line in thick concrete.

03

Framework Track

Line posts are arrayed at exact 10ft intervals and locked with a rigid continuous structural top rail line.

04

Mechanical Pulling

Fabric sheets are unrolled, locked with tension bars, and mechanically tightened to eliminate sag points completely.

Commercial & Industrial Security Solutions

Super Fence Co. manufactures and erects specialized high-gauge perimeter walls for commercial accounts across the entire tri-county corridor. From schoolyard bounds and tennis courts to heavy 6-gauge industrial barriers with barbed wire security topping, we keep your business secure.

Main Line Cost Benchmarks

    Frequently Asked Question.

    A 100-foot chain link fence installation on the Main Line costs, depending on height, gauge, and finish. A standard 4-foot galvanized residential fence at the low end of that range, and a 6-foot black vinyl-coated fence with privacy slats at the higher end. These are general benchmarks — terrain, gates, and permit fees all affect the final number. An on-site estimate from Super Fence Co. gives you an exact figure for your specific property.

    Yes, chain link is typically less expensive than wood to install and maintain.Wood also requires ongoing maintenance - staining, painting, or board replacement every 3 to 7 years. Chain link requires no painting and minimal upkeep, making it the lower total-cost option over the life of the fence for most homeowners.

    A galvanized chain link fence typically lasts 15 to 20 years with minimal maintenance. Vinyl-coated chain link lasts longer because the PVC coating provides a second layer of corrosion protection over the galvanized wire. Heavier-gauge commercial installations can last 25 years or more. The primary factors affecting lifespan are the quality of the galvanized coating, the gauge of the wire, and how well the posts are set — concrete-set posts below the frost line are essential in Pennsylvania's climate.

    The main disadvantages of chain link fencing are limited privacy and aesthetic simplicity compared to wood or vinyl. Standard chain link provides security and containment but does not block sightlines. This can be addressed with privacy slats, windscreen fabric, or climbing plants. Some HOAs restrict or prohibit chain link on front-yard boundaries. Chain link also does not add curb appeal the way ornamental aluminum or wood does — it is a functional rather than decorative material.

    Yes. The three main options are: privacy slats woven through the mesh (most popular — immediate, durable, available in matching colors); windscreen or privacy screen fabric zip-tied to the fence (softer look, good for sports courts and temporary needs); and climbing plants or vines trained onto the fence over time. For immediate privacy on the Main Line, vinyl slats are the most practical solution. For a natural look, Virginia Creeper or Clematis are excellent vine choices that thrive in Pennsylvania's climate.

    Yes, chain link is one of the most effective materials for dog containment. The tight mesh provides no gaps for dogs to squeeze through, and properly set concrete posts make the fence difficult to push over. For dogs that dig, a tension wire along the bottom of the fence — set close to the ground — deters digging at the base. For very small dogs, specify a tighter mesh opening (1-inch diamond instead of standard 2-inch) when ordering your installation.

    Chain link fencing generally has a neutral to mildly negative effect on curb appeal compared to ornamental or wood fencing, which can influence perceived property value in high-aesthetic markets like the Philadelphia Main Line. However, a well-maintained chain link fence in the backyard - where it is not visible from the street — has minimal impact on resale. For front yards and visible boundaries on the Main Line, ornamental aluminum or vinyl often delivers a better return on investment from a curb appeal perspective.

    Galvanized chain link fences are designed to resist rust - the galvanization process coats each wire with zinc, which acts as a sacrificial barrier that corrodes before the steel beneath. In normal residential conditions, a properly galvanized chain link fence will not show significant rust for 15 to 20 years. Vinyl-coated chain link adds a second layer of protection and resists rust even longer. Cut ends and areas where the coating is damaged are most vulnerable — inspect these points periodically and treat with a zinc-rich touch-up paint if needed.
