CHAIN LINK GATE INSTALLATION IN OREGON & WASHINGTON
Rick’s Custom Fencing & Decking installs chain link gates for homeowners across Oregon & Washington. These gates create durable, functional access points within chain link fence systems while maintaining the open visibility and strength this type of fencing is known for.
Chain link gates are often selected when the priority is reliable access and long-term performance. They are commonly used for yards, side access points, utility areas, and larger property boundaries where function matters more than decorative appearance.
Most installations use steel frames with chain link mesh panels that match the surrounding fence, allowing the gate to fit naturally within the fence line.

What Makes Chain Link Gates Different
Chain link gates are built for durability and consistent performance within chain link fence systems.
Steel Frame Construction
These gates use steel framing to support the mesh panel and handle repeated opening and closing over time.
Designed to Match Chain Link Fencing
The gate panel uses the same chain link mesh as the surrounding fence, creating a consistent look across the fence line.
Durable Outdoor Materials
Chain link gates are typically constructed using galvanized or vinyl-coated steel, which helps resist corrosion and weather exposure.
Common for Practical Access Points
They are often installed in residential yards, side access pathways, storage areas, and other locations where dependable access is needed.
Chain Link Gate Design Considerations
Several factors influence how chain link gates are designed and installed and are important to consider so the gate functions properly.

Single vs Double Chain Link Gates
Single gates are commonly used for pedestrian access points, while double gates may be used for wider openings that require larger access areas.

Gate Width and Access
Chain link gates can be sized to fit narrow walkway entrances or larger property access points.

Gate Hardware and Operation
Hinges, latches, and support posts determine how the gate operates and how it integrates with the surrounding fence structure.
Planning Chain Link Gate Installation
Planning a chain link gate starts with reviewing the fence layout and identifying where access is needed so the gate fits properly and operates reliably over time. Rick’s works with homeowners to review:
- Width of the gate opening
- Location within the fence line
- Structural support for posts
- Hardware placement and operation
