Chain Link Fence Installation in Whittier CA
Why Choose Chain Link Fencing
Chain link fencing is one of the most practical and cost-effective ways to secure a property. It’s used everywhere — from rental homes and schools to storage yards and dog runs. Homeowners choose it because it’s tough, affordable, and quick to install. Businesses pick it because it covers large areas without breaking the budget.
A chain link fence might not offer the same level of privacy as wood or vinyl, but it does provide security and clear property boundaries. With add-ons like vinyl coatings or privacy slats, you can improve both its appearance and its coverage.

Chain Link Options We Offer
Not all chain link fences are the same. As local fence contractors, we install:
- Galvanized Chain Link – Coated with zinc to prevent rust. The standard for residential and commercial fencing.
- Vinyl-Coated Chain Link – Adds a layer of color (often black or green) and extra protection from the elements.
- Privacy Slats or Screens – Slide into the mesh to create more privacy and block wind.
- Different Heights – From 4 feet for yards to 8–10 feet for schools, businesses, and security fencing.
These options make chain link versatile enough for both residential and commercial uses.
How Long Does a Chain Link Fence Last?
Chain link fencing is built to last. A well-installed galvanized chain link fence can stand for 20–30 years. Vinyl-coated versions can last even longer with proper care. Unlike wood, it doesn’t rot or warp, and unlike iron, it doesn’t need painting to fight rust.
Basic maintenance is simple: check the posts after heavy winds, keep plants from growing into the mesh, and rinse dirt off with water now and then.
Chain Link Fence Repairs
Even the toughest fences need repairs at some point. Common chain link fence problems include:
- Bent or Leaning Posts – Usually caused by impacts or soil movement.
- Loose or Sagging Mesh – The fabric can stretch over time.
- Broken Gates – Hinges and latches wear down with daily use.
- Rust Spots – Less common on galvanized fences but possible over many years.
Our crew provides chain link fence repair in Whittier for both small fixes and larger sections. Because chain link is modular, we can often replace just the damaged part instead of rebuilding the entire fence.
Chain Link Compared to Other Fencing
- Vs. Wood Fencing: Chain link is cheaper and lasts longer with less maintenance, but wood gives more privacy and a warmer look.
- Vs. Vinyl Fencing: Vinyl looks more polished and requires little care, but it costs more.
- Vs. Wrought Iron: Iron is stronger and more decorative, while chain link is lighter, easier to install, and more budget-friendly.
For many property owners, chain link is the best balance of security and value.
