RESIDENTIAL CHAIN LINK FENCE INSTALLATION IN OREGON & WASHINGTON
Rick’s Custom Fencing & Decking installs residential chain link fences for homeowners across Oregon & Washington. Chain link fencing offers a practical and durable way to create a secure boundary around your property while maintaining visibility through the fence.
Many homeowners choose residential chain link fencing when they want an affordable fence that clearly defines their yard without blocking views. Chain link fences are commonly used for backyard boundaries, pet containment, side yard fencing, and larger residential properties where durability and reliability are important.
Because chain link fencing is constructed from galvanized steel mesh supported by metal posts and rails, it remains one of the most dependable fencing options for residential installation.

What Defines a Residential Chain Link Fence
A residential chain link fence uses steel wire woven into a diamond-shaped mesh pattern that is attached to metal posts and rails. This open mesh design creates a secure boundary while allowing visibility across the property.
Unlike solid fencing materials, chain link fencing keeps sightlines open while still defining the edge of the yard.
For many homeowners, this makes chain link fencing a practical choice for areas where security and visibility are both important.
Common Uses for Residential Chain Link Fencing
Residential chain link fencing is often installed in areas where homeowners need a secure boundary without a solid barrier.
Typical uses include:
- Backyard enclosures
- Dog or pet containment areas
- Side yard fencing
- Property boundary fencing
- Larger residential lots where long fence runs are required
Because the fence maintains visibility, homeowners can easily monitor activity across the yard while still maintaining a clear boundary.
Chain Link Fence Options for Residential Properties
Residential chain link fences can vary slightly depending on the appearance and configuration chosen for the property.
Galvanized Chain Link
Traditional galvanized chain link fencing uses steel mesh coated with zinc to help resist corrosion and weather exposure.
Black Vinyl-Coated Chain Link
Black chain link fencing uses galvanized steel mesh coated with a black vinyl layer. The darker finish blends more naturally with landscaping while maintaining the strength and durability of galvanized steel.
Fence Height Options
Residential chain link fences are installed at different heights depending on how the fence will be used. Taller fences are often chosen for backyard enclosures, while shorter fences may be used for property boundaries or decorative applications.

Planning a Residential Chain Link Fence Installation
Planning helps make certain the fence layout works well with the property.
Before installation begins, we review:
- Property boundaries and fence layout
- Desired fence height
- Gate placement and access points
- Terrain and grade changes across the yard
Because chain link fencing often runs along long property lines, consistent post placement and proper tensioning help maintain a straight and stable fence line.
Rick’s crews install chain link fences with careful attention to post placement, rail alignment, and mesh tension so the finished fence maintains a clean and consistent appearance.
