Let us be straightforward: chain link is not the prettiest fence on the block. It is not going to win any design awards or impress your HOA review committee. What it will do is contain your two Labrador retrievers, keep the neighbor kids out of your pool area, mark your property line on a quarter-acre lot, and do all of that for significantly less money than vinyl or wood. For a lot of families in Lehi and across North Utah County, that is exactly the point.
The practical case gets even stronger when you have a big perimeter to cover. A half-acre lot in Highland or Alpine can have 400-plus linear feet of boundary. In chain link, that is a manageable project. In vinyl, that same run costs multiples more. Same story for the newer developments west of I-15 -- Eagle Mountain lots that back up to open space, Saratoga Springs properties along the Jordan River trail, Vineyard homes near the lake -- where families need a dog-proof barrier more than they need curb appeal. Chain link handles the job and survives the Point of the Mountain wind because the mesh lets air pass through instead of catching it like a billboard.
And modern chain link does not have to look like a schoolyard fence. We install vinyl-coated mesh in black, green, and brown that practically vanishes against landscaping and tree lines. Black-coated chain link from 20 feet away reads more like an ornamental fence than anything industrial. For homeowners who want some screening without spending for a full privacy fence, we add privacy slats that weave through the mesh and block about 85 percent of the view. For commercial properties along the I-15 corridor, the Thanksgiving Point business park, and the tech campuses near the SR-92 interchange, we install heavy-gauge mesh up to 12 feet with barbed or razor wire top options.
Chain link is lighter than vinyl or wood, but that does not mean you can skimp on what holds it up. Every terminal post, corner post, and gate post gets set in concrete at least 30 inches down -- past the frost line -- so March heave does not push it out of plumb. The tensioned mesh pulls laterally on every post in the run, and if the anchoring is shallow, the whole thing eventually sags. We use steel tension bands, brace bands, and rail end fittings rated for the gauge and height of your specific fence, and we stretch the mesh with a come-along bar until it is tight enough to bounce a quarter off of. That is what separates a chain link fence that stays taut for 15 years from one that droops after three.
We walk the property with a wheel, note the corners and gates you need, talk through galvanized versus vinyl-coated and what height makes sense. If you are in an HOA, we check whether chain link is allowed in your section before quoting anything. You get a number on paper before we leave your driveway.
We file with Lehi City and schedule Blue Stakes. In the newer parts of Vineyard and Eagle Mountain, utility lines are not always where you would expect them -- we wait for the paint marks before a single post hole gets dug.
Terminal posts, corner posts, line posts -- every one goes into concrete at least 30 inches deep. We run a string line across the entire run before setting anything so the finished fence tracks straight, not wavy. On rocky ground east of I-15, we bring the hydraulic auger.
Top rails connect post to post, then we unroll the chain link mesh and stretch it tight with a come-along bar and tension bands. Every section gets tensioned evenly -- no sags, no bulges. If you ordered privacy slats, they go in after the mesh is locked down.
We walk the whole run with you. Every post, every tie wire, every gate latch. Scrap wire and packaging get loaded on the truck. Your yard is clean, your fence is done, and your dog can finally go outside without a leash.
Yes. We install a buried tension wire or concrete curb along the bottom rail that eliminates the dig-out gap. For determined diggers, we can also bury the bottom 6 to 8 inches of mesh underground at an outward angle so the dog hits chain link no matter how deep it goes. This is one of the most common requests we get from families in the Eagle Mountain and Saratoga Springs subdivisions where backyards open onto trails and fields.
Night and day difference. Standard galvanized chain link has that classic silver industrial look that screams utility. Black vinyl-coated mesh practically disappears against landscaping, dark fences, and tree lines. From 20 feet away it reads more like an ornamental fence than chain link. We install it in black, green, and brown, and the vinyl coating also adds a layer of corrosion and UV protection on top of the galvanized core.
We install permanent commercial chain link, not temporary panel rental. If your job site along the Lehi I-15 corridor or the SR-92 tech campuses needs a lasting perimeter -- storage yards, equipment compounds, long-term staging areas -- we build it with heavy-gauge mesh, deeper posts, and optional barbed or razor wire. For short-term construction fencing, a rental company is a better fit.
Much better, actually. The open mesh lets wind pass through instead of catching it like a sail. That is a real advantage in the Point of the Mountain corridor where spring gusts can punish solid panel fences. Chain link puts almost no lateral wind load on the posts, which means the installation lasts longer and requires less heavy-duty anchoring. It is one reason we still recommend chain link for large-perimeter properties on the windy west side of Lehi.
Taller runs, heavier gauge, razor wire -- if your business along the I-15 corridor needs serious perimeter security, we build that too.
