When you need reliable security at an affordable price, chain link delivers. Flytrap Fence Company installs commercial and residential chain link fencing throughout the Wilmington area—from backyard dog runs to industrial perimeter security. Durable, cost-effective, and built to last decades with minimal maintenance.
Chain link is the most economical fencing option per linear foot, making it ideal for enclosing large areas. Get maximum coverage within your budget—whether you're fencing a backyard, commercial lot, or multi-acre property.
Galvanized steel chain link is built to last 20+ years with virtually no maintenance. It won't rot, warp, or deteriorate like wood, and it stands up to impacts that would damage other fence types.
The open-weave design provides clear sightlines for monitoring activity while still establishing a secure perimeter. Ideal for businesses, dog owners, and parents who want to see what's happening on both sides of the fence.
Chain link installs faster than any other fencing type, which means lower labor costs and less disruption to your property. Most residential projects complete in a single day.
Once installed, chain link requires almost zero upkeep. No painting, staining, or treatments needed. Simply hose off dirt occasionally and enjoy decades of reliable service.
From residential backyards to sports facilities, construction sites to animal enclosures—chain link adapts to nearly any fencing need. Multiple heights, gauges, and coating options let you customize for your specific application.
Today's chain link fencing offers more options than ever. We'll help you choose the right combination of height, gauge, coating, and accessories for your specific needs:
The classic silver finish. Hot-dipped galvanized steel provides excellent corrosion resistance at the lowest cost. This workhorse option is perfect for backyards, commercial properties, and any application where function matters more than aesthetics.
Galvanized chain link with a fused black PVC-coated finish for enhanced aesthetics and extra corrosion protection. PVC-coated chain link is the standard upgrade industrial buyers and property managers ask for — the polymer coating shields the steel core from coastal salt air and chemical exposure. Black virtually disappears into the background, making it ideal for properties where you want security without visual intrusion.
Green PVC-coated chain link blends naturally with landscaping and vegetation. The same fused vinyl coating used on the black version — offering corrosion resistance for coastal NC weather — paired with a color that disappears into hedges, tree lines, and athletic field fencing. Popular for backyards, parks, sports facilities, and anywhere you want the fence to complement rather than contrast with the surrounding environment.
Heavier gauge wire (9 or 6 gauge vs. standard 11.5), industrial-strength posts, and commercial hardware for maximum security and durability. Designed for high-traffic, high-security applications. For perimeter protection, anti-climb mesh, barbed-wire toppings, and other hardened build-outs, see our dedicated commercial security fencing page.
Transform standard chain link into a privacy fence by adding vertical slats. Available in various colors to match or complement your property. A cost-effective way to add privacy to existing or new chain link installations.
Portable chain link panels for construction sites, events, and temporary enclosures. Quick to set up and remove. Available for purchase or rental depending on your needs.
Most quotes delivered same day. No pressure, no obligation.
We survey your property, discuss your requirements (pet containment, security level, aesthetics), and take measurements. We'll identify the best post locations, gate placements, and any terrain challenges.
Based on your needs, we recommend the appropriate mesh gauge, height, coating, and hardware. You receive a detailed quote within 24-48 hours with no hidden costs or surprises.
We coordinate with NC811 to mark underground utilities before we break ground. Safety first, always.
Terminal posts (corners, ends, gates) and line posts are set in concrete at proper intervals and depths. For most residential applications, posts are set 24-30 inches deep for stability.
Top rails, tension bars, and bands are installed to create the framework. The chain link fabric is then stretched taut along the fence line and secured with ties.
Gates are hung, adjusted for smooth operation, and equipped with appropriate latches. We complete a final inspection, clean up all debris, and walk through the project with you.
Chain link offers the best value per linear foot of any fencing option. Standard galvanized residential fencing starts around $20/linear foot, while vinyl-coated and heavy-gauge commercial installations range up to $40/linear foot. Gate costs vary by size and type.
