Residential Chain Link Fencing

Chain link is the most widely installed fencing material, and for good reason: it's affordable, functional, and built to last. A residential chain link fence can be customized to fit almost any property, with options for height, framework size, mesh size, and color. As a residential chain link fence contractor serving Akron, Cleveland, Medina, and the surrounding communities, R&T Fence Company installs chain link fencing that secures your yard, protects your family, and holds up to Northeast Ohio weather for decades.

Affordable, Functional Fencing for Northeast Ohio Homes

For homeowners in Akron who want strong security without a large investment, chain link fencing is hard to beat. It defines property lines, keeps children and pets safely contained, and secures pools and gardens, all while letting light and air pass through. Our chain link fence installation gives you a clear, open boundary that will last, year after year, with no upkeep required. 

Not All Fence is Created Equal

What Makes Our Chain Link Fence Better?

Chain link fencing has stayed largely unchanged in design and materials for over a century. Most manufacturers offer quality materials, so our difference shows up in how we install. Good materials installed poorly will not last, which is why our methods set us apart from other chain link fence installers.

We begin with the posts, setting each one securely in concrete and giving it time to cure before we install the wire mesh. We use longer terminal posts to anchor deeper into the ground, creating stronger connections and more stable gate posts. We also choose heavier-grade posts and top rail for a more robust framework than the lighter materials commonly sold at home improvement centers.

Every residential chain link fence we build includes a bottom tension wire for added stability. After the posts are set, we fabricate and weld our gates in-house so each one fits the opening exactly. This is the craftsmanship that separates a true chain link fence builder from a weekend installer.

Why Homeowners Choose Chain Link

Chain link offers a practical mix of benefits that few other materials match at the same price. Here is what you can count on with a fence from R&T.

No Maintenance

Chain link fence requires no maintenance. Once it is installed, you can enjoy years of worry-free service without painting, staining, or sealing.

Secure Containment

Chain link fence provides safe, secure containment. It is a smart choice for swimming pool safety and for keeping children and pets protected within your yard.

15 Warranty

Every chain link fence we install includes a 15-year manufacturer's warranty against rust and corrosion, so your investment is protected for the long haul.

Customizable

Choose galvanized fabric, vinyl-coated fabric on galvanized framework, or fully vinyl-coated options. Heights range from 3 feet to 6 feet, with color options in green, black, and brown to match your home and landscape.

Chain Link Fence Gate Options

Every gate we install is fabricated in-house, allowing us to match almost any opening on your property.

Single Leaf Chain Link Gates

Single chain link gates are ideal for pedestrian traffic in and out of the fenced area, and wider single gates allow small yard equipment to pass through. Our standard widths are 3, 4, 5, and 6 feet, and because we fabricate every gate ourselves, we can build a custom width to fit any opening.

Double Leaf Chain Link Gates

Double leaf chain link gates create much larger openings, which makes them ideal for lawn tractors, trailers, and vehicles. Built from two single gates that meet in the middle, standard openings are 6, 8, and 10 feet wide. As with our single gates, we fabricate in-house and can build custom widths whenever a project calls for it. 

Residential Chain Link Fencing Applications

The versatility of chain link fence suits the demands of many residential uses. Swimming pools, pet and child containment, and gardens are among the most common reasons homeowners across Northeast Ohio choose chain link.

Frequently Asked Questions About Residential Chain Link Fencing

How long does it take to install a residential chain link fence?

Most residential chain link fence installations are completed in about two days. We set the posts in concrete first and allow time for the footers to cure before installing the wire mesh, so the exact timeline depends on the size of the project and the weather.

Do I need a permit for a chain link fence?

Many communities in Akron, Cleveland, Medina, and the surrounding areas require a permit for fence installation. If your project needs one, we handle the permitting process for you as part of the job.

How much does a residential chain link fence cost?

Cost depends on the length of the fence, the height, the grade of materials, and the number of gates. Because we fabricate gates in-house and tailor each project to your property, the best way to get an accurate number is to request a free estimate.
