Chain link fence installation Markham, ON
If fence materials competed in a beauty pageant, even if it was all dolled up with decorative privacy slats, chain link fencing probably won’t win the beauty portion of the pageant, but it just might win miss congeniality.
Chain link fencing provides a great functional, durable, secure fencing that can also provide some level of privacy if adding privacy slats or privacy screens. And it is undoubtedly the more affordable option out of all fencing materials available today. We at Markham Fence install chain link fences with care and precision, as if we were installing them for our own homes. They’re made to last, resist corrosion and provide a secure barrier.

The thickness and hence the durability and strength of the wire mesh fence is determined by its gauge number. The lower the gauge number, the thicker and therefore the more secure the fence is. A mid-range gauge number would be appropriate for homes, schools, and daycares. A low-range gauge number would be used in high security areas including prisons and industrial areas.
Among the customization options for chain link fencing is the type of coating. Galvanization, a process where a thin zinc coating is applied, is one of the most common. It creates a silvery zinc appearance and provides some protection against moisture and corrosion. Beyond galvanization, a vinyl coating can be added. The vinyl can come in black, green, brown or white and provide additional protection from the elements. A newer coating option is powder coating in which heat and static are used to apply a unique powder finish to the fence, and also offers resistance to our Canadian weather extremes. Sometimes these coatings can be combined where galvanization and vinyl coating are applied to the mesh fence, and the remaining posts, frame and other components of the gate are powder coated.
So what’s the cost of chain link fencing?
Without knowing any other factors, you’re looking at roughly $10-$20 per linear foot. The cost fluctuates depending on which coatings and customizations are added, whether you’re adding gates, and the height of the fence.
How do we customize chain link fencing to add some privacy?
In some lucky instances, there will be existing established trees that already provide some visual privacy while the fence adds an additional supportive property demarcation line. In other cases, we can add vertical privacy slats, or a privacy panel which blocks a certain percentage of light.
