The Dog Finds Every Gap You Leave
Chain link only looks cheap when it's installed cheap. Tensioned fabric on properly set posts looks sharp for decades.
Chain Link Built Tight for Iowa Wind
Posts set in concrete below frost line, fabric stretched with a come-along and tied every 12 inches, bottom tension wire standard.
Galvanized 4-ft
11.5-gauge galvanized fabric on galvanized posts and rail. The workhorse backyard fence.
Black vinyl-coated 4–6 ft
Black fabric, posts, rails and fittings. Visually disappears against trees and lawn and never rusts.
6-ft with privacy slats
Vinyl-coated chain link with aluminum or PVC slats woven in for 75–90% privacy and wind break.
Black vinyl-coated is the most popular residential pick — it costs about 20% more than galvanized and looks twice as good. Request a free estimate.

What to Know Before Chain Link Goes In
How much does a chain link fence cost in Des Moines?
Galvanized 4-foot chain link runs $15–$25 per linear foot installed; black vinyl-coated runs $20–$32. A 150-foot backyard with a gate is typically $2,500–$4,500.
Does chain link meet Iowa pool fence rules?
Yes, when built to code: at least 4 feet tall, self-closing and self-latching gate, mesh openings under 1¾ inches if required by your city. We build pool enclosures that pass inspection.
How long does chain link last?
Galvanized fabric lasts 15–20 years; vinyl-coated 20–30. Posts set below frost line are what keep it standing straight that long.
Can you install chain link in winter?
We set posts whenever the ground can be dug — usually through December and again by late March. Fabric goes on any time.
Workmanship warranty
If a post we set heaves or a gate we hung sags, we come back and fix it. Materials carry the manufacturer's warranty on top.
Why not wait?
Every winter a leaning fence leans more. Lumber and labor don't get cheaper, and the dog isn't getting slower. Build it now and have the yard this season.
Loose Fabric and Lean Posts Get Worse
Leaning posts pull neighboring panels out of line until whole sections need replacing
Rotted rails and pickets turn a cheap repair into a full rebuild
Shallow-set posts heave more every winter — the fix costs more each year you wait
A failing fence means escaped pets, disputes with neighbors, and a hit to your home's value
