Chain link is the most practical fence there is. It is strong, it lasts, it keeps pets and kids in, and it does the job without blocking your view. TOWN Fence & Deck installs and repairs chain link for homeowners and businesses across Glen Ellyn and the western suburbs, from backyard dog runs to warehouse security enclosures.
Our own crews set every post, stretch the fabric tight and hang gates that swing and latch the way they should.
Why Choose Chain Link?
- Practical and durable: galvanized steel fabric and framework hold up to Illinois winters for many years.
- Keeps pets and kids in: a solid barrier for dogs, play areas and pools where open fencing is allowed.
- Open view: you can see through it, which matters for side yards, small lots and security.
- Low maintenance: no painting or staining; an occasional rinse is all it needs.
- Commercial strength: heavier fabric, taller heights and wide gates for businesses, schools and parks.
Chain Link Options
- Galvanized: the classic silver finish, the most economical choice.
- Vinyl-coated: black, green or brown coating that blends into landscaping and looks cleaner. Some towns require coated chain link.
- Heights: common residential heights are 4 to 6 feet; commercial and security fences can go taller where allowed.
- Gates: walk gates, double drive gates and slide gates for wide openings.
- Dog runs and enclosures: fully enclosed runs, storage cages and equipment enclosures.
- Repairs: bent top rail, loose fabric, broken ties and sagging gates.
Chain Link vs. Other Fences
| Fence type | Privacy | Upkeep | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chain link | Low (see-through) | Very low | Pets, security, budget, commercial |
| Aluminum | Low (see-through) | Very low | Front yards, pools, curb appeal |
| Wood | High | Moderate | Backyard privacy, natural look |
| Vinyl | High | Low | Privacy without staining |
Chain Link Rules in Our Area
Many towns limit where chain link can go. Lombard, Oak Park, Wood Dale and Homer Glen do not allow it in front yards, Carol Stream requires it to be coated and keeps it off yards along a street, and Maywood allows only black, brown or green coated chain link in rear and side yards.
We check your town's rules before we quote, file the permit, and build the fence where it is allowed. For business properties, see our commercial fence page. We can provide a certificate of insurance on request.
How a Project Works
- Free estimate: Adam or Jill walks your property, measures, and talks through styles, heights and gates.
- Written quote: every quote is built for your property. Pricing depends on material, size and the time of year.
- Permits and utility locates: we file the permit with your town and have underground lines marked before we dig.
- Install: our own crew builds it and cleans up when the job is done.
What Our Customers Say
"They worked to secure the permit for our fence and quickly scheduled the crew to complete the work within the same week. We're very happy with the timeliness and the quality of our fence."
Tracy W., Google review"So very happy with the replacement of our fencing that came down from a tornado. The new fencing had to match the position of the remaining fencing. They did a wonderful job!!"
Kathleen V., Google review"TFC installed a 50-foot fence for us last week, removing two old fences, cleaning up the site, and putting in one composite fence to divide our property from the neighbors'... Pricing was fair and competitive."
William G., Google reviewChain Link Fence FAQ
Can I put chain link in my front yard?
It depends on your town. Several towns in our area do not allow chain link in front yards or along a street. We check before we quote.
Galvanized or vinyl-coated?
Galvanized costs less. Black, green or brown vinyl-coated chain link looks cleaner and blends into the yard, and some towns require it.
Do you repair chain link fences?
Yes. We replace bent top rail and damaged fabric, retighten loose sections and fix sagging gates.
Do you install chain link for businesses?
