Written by Concord Fence

When people picture a fence, they often think of wood pickets or classic white vinyl panels — but chain link fencing deserves its place in the spotlight. Known for its strength, affordability, and longevity, chain link remains one of the most practical choices for both homeowners and businesses across Concord and Cabarrus County.

At Concord Fence, we install chain link fencing for just about every purpose — from keeping pets safe in the backyard to securing pool areas. It’s a tried-and-true option that delivers solid protection with minimal upkeep.

Affordable and Efficient

Chain link fencing provides reliable security without breaking the budget. It’s often the most cost-effective choice per linear foot, especially for large areas like backyards, lots, or sports fields.

Strong and Long-Lasting

Galvanized steel resists rust and corrosion, standing up to years of sun, rain, and wear. For even more durability, we offer vinyl-coated chain link fencing — available in black, green, and brown — which blends better with the landscape and adds a layer of weather protection.

Low Maintenance

Unlike wood, chain link doesn’t need staining, sealing, or repainting. Once installed, it’s nearly hands-off for years, aside from the occasional tension check or leaf clean out.

Visibility and Safety

Chain link is ideal for areas where you need both security and visibility, such as around pools, front yards, or play areas. You can see through it easily, which helps keep pets, kids, and property in view.

Common Uses for Chain Link Fencing

Chain link’s versatility makes it one of the most requested fencing styles in the region — especially for:

  • Pet enclosures and dog runs
  • Pool safety fencing
  • Commercial and industrial properties
  • Schoolyards and playgrounds
  • Sports fields and community parks
  • Property boundary lines

Whether it’s a residential backyard or a commercial project, our team ensures every chain link fence is installed with the same care and precision we give to decorative materials like wood or aluminum.

Built for Strength, Backed by Experience

At Concord Fence, we’ve worked with the same experienced installation crews for years. They know how to tension, stretch, and anchor chain link the right way so it lasts — no shortcuts, no loose lines, and no corners cut. Our goal is simple: to deliver fences that last and relationships that do, too.
