Chain link fencing has been used in commercial and industrial settings for more than 100 years — and for good reason. It is affordable, functional, secure, and virtually maintenance-free. At R&T Fence, we listen to your needs, evaluate your site, and design a commercial or industrial chain link fence that meets your specifications, usage requirements, and security goals
Commercial Grade Chain Link Fence Built to Meet Your Demands
A commercial grade chain link fence is designed to handle more demanding applications than a standard residential fence. Commercial and industrial properties often require stronger framework, heavier wire mesh, taller fence heights, larger gates, and optional security upgrades.
At R&T Fence, our commercial and industrial chain link fencing uses larger-diameter pipe and heavier wall thicknesses to create a strong foundation. We pair that framework with heavier gauge wire mesh and durable coating options to build a fence system that stands up to high-traffic environments, weather exposure, and day-to-day use.

Commercial Chain Link Fence Design Options
Design Options
Whether you need a 3-foot-tall enclosure or a 20-foot-tall commercial chain link fence, R&T Fence can design the right solution for your property. We can customize fence height, post spacing, wire gauge, gate openings, coatings, and security features like razor coil based on your site layout and access needs.
Color Options
Most commercial and industrial chain link fences have a silver appearance from the galvanized coating. However, chain link fencing is also available in vinyl-coated color options, with black being the most popular choice for businesses that want a cleaner, more finished appearance.
Maintenance Free
Commercial chain link fencing is one of the most practical low-maintenance fence options available. Galvanized and vinyl-coated finishes help protect the fence from corrosion and weather exposure, allowing it to provide years of service without routine painting, staining, or upkeep.
Gate Options
R&T Fence can build custom commercial chain link gates to accommodate pedestrian access, vehicle entrances, loading areas, equipment yards, secured perimeters, and more. Manual and electric gate options are available depending on your access control needs.
Commercial Chain Link Gate Options
Commercial chain link gates are an important part of the overall fence system. R&T Fence installs gate solutions that are built for daily use, secure closure, and long-term durability.
Commercial Swing Gates
Our chain link swing gates are available in both single-leaf and double-leaf configurations. From simple walk gates to double driveway gates, swing gates are an affordable and reliable option when there is enough room for the gate to open and close properly.
Chain link fence gate hardware offers a wide variety of choices, including standard hinges and fork latches, self-closing hinges, lockable hardware, and panic bar hardware when needed for commercial or institutional applications.
Cantilever Gates
Cantilever chain link gates are a strong option for wider commercial openings, driveways, equipment yards, storage areas, and secured entrances. Instead of swinging open, a cantilever gate rolls horizontally along a support system and is counterbalanced so it does not require a ground track across the opening.
Because there is no track on the ground, cantilever gates are ideal for areas where snow, ice, gravel, debris, or heavy vehicle traffic could interfere with a standard rolling gate. These gates can be built for manual operation or integrated with electric operators and access control systems.
Commercial Chain Link Fence Applications
Commercial chain link fencing is one of the most versatile fencing options available for business and industrial properties. It can be used for perimeter security, equipment containment, access control, athletic facilities, utility protection, and temporary or permanent site separation. Whether you need an industrial chain link fence for a factory property or commercial chain link fencing for a school, sports park, or business, R&T Fence can design a system that fits the application.

Our Commercial Chain Link Fence Installation Process
R&T Fence makes the commercial chain link fence installation process straightforward from the first estimate through the final walkthrough. Every site is different, so we take the time to understand your property, security needs, access points, and installation requirements before work begins.
- Site Assessment & Free Estimate
We start by reviewing your property, measuring the fence line, discussing gate openings, and identifying important site conditions. This helps us recommend the right fence height, wire gauge, framework, coatings, and security options. - Layout Planning & Utility Locates
Before installation begins, we confirm the fence layout and coordinate any required utility marking. Proper layout planning helps prevent delays and ensures the fence is installed where it needs to be - Post Setting
Fence posts are set to create the structural foundation for the system. Commercial and industrial chain link fencing typically requires stronger posts and framework than residential fencing, especially for taller fences, heavier mesh, and large gates. - Framework & Fabric Installation
Once the posts are set, our team installs the top rail, fittings, and add-ons like chain link fabric. The mesh is stretched and secured to create a clean, durable, and properly tensioned fence line. - Commercial Chain Link Gate Installation
We install swing gates, double gates, cantilever gates, and related hardware based on your site needs. Gate installation is especially important for commercial properties because it affects security, vehicle flow, and daily access. - Final Walkthrough
After installation, we review the completed fence system, check the gates and hardware, and make sure the finished project meets your expectations.
Project timelines vary based on fence length, height, site conditions, gate requirements, and security upgrades. R&T Fence serves commercial and industrial customers in Akron and throughout Northeast Ohio.

Commercial Chain Link Fence FAQ
How much does commercial chain link fence installation cost?
Commercial chain link fence cost depends on several factors, including the total linear footage, fence height, wire gauge, post and framework requirements, coating type, number of gates, site conditions, and any security upgrades such as barbed wire, razor coil, privacy slats, or wind screen. The best way to get accurate pricing is to schedule a free on-site estimate with R&T Fence.
What’s the difference between commercial and residential chain link fence?
Commercial chain link fencing is typically built with heavier materials than residential chain link fencing. A commercial grade chain link fence may use larger-diameter posts, heavier wall framework, stronger wire mesh, taller fence heights, and more durable gate hardware. Industrial chain link fencing may also include added security features such as barbed wire, razor coil, or controlled-access gates.
What gauge wire is used for industrial chain link fencing?
R&T Fence offers commercial and industrial chain link fencing options starting with 9 gauge core wire. For applications where additional strength is needed, 8 gauge and 6 gauge wire options are also available. The right gauge depends on the security level, fence height, property type, and daily use of the fence.
Can commercial chain link fence include privacy slats or barbed wire?
Yes. Commercial chain link fence can be upgraded with vinyl privacy slats, wind screen, barbed wire, or razor coil depending on your property’s needs. Privacy slats and wind screen help reduce visibility, while barbed wire and razor coil increase perimeter security for restricted areas.
How long does commercial chain link fence installation take?
Installation timelines vary depending on the size and complexity of the project. Smaller enclosures may be completed more quickly, while large industrial fence installations, tall fences, multiple gates, or security upgrades may require additional time.
