Dependable Chain Link Fencing for Lehi Properties

Chain link fencing remains one of the most practical and budget-friendly fencing solutions available to Lehi homeowners. When the primary goal is to contain pets, define property lines, or secure a backyard without a major investment, chain link delivers exactly what you need. It is strong, durable, transparent enough to maintain sightlines, and built to last through Utah County's demanding four-season climate without significant maintenance.

For many Lehi families, the decision comes down to function. A growing number of homes in the rapidly developing western corridor -- Saratoga Springs, Eagle Mountain, and the new Vineyard neighborhoods along the lake -- are occupied by young families with children and dogs who need a secure outdoor space. Chain link provides that security at a fraction of the cost of vinyl or wood. It also works exceptionally well for properties with long perimeters, where the per-linear-foot savings add up quickly on larger lots in Highland, Alpine, and the bench communities east of Lehi.

Modern chain link has come a long way from the basic galvanized wire most people picture. We install vinyl-coated chain link in black, green, and brown that blends with landscaping and gives a cleaner, more residential appearance. We also offer privacy slats that weave through the mesh to create up to 85 percent visual screening, which is a smart middle ground for homeowners who want some privacy without the cost of a full privacy fence. For commercial applications, we install heavier-gauge mesh, taller posts, and top rail options including barbed wire and razor wire for maximum security.

Chain Link Options We Install

  • Standard Galvanized -- The classic, cost-effective option. Hot-dipped galvanized coating protects against rust and corrosion. Available in residential and commercial gauges from 3 feet to 12 feet tall.
  • Vinyl-Coated -- Galvanized chain link with an additional PVC coating in black, green, or brown. The coating adds corrosion resistance, UV protection, and a finished look that suits residential neighborhoods better than bare metal.
  • Privacy Slat Systems -- Vertical or diagonal slats inserted through the chain link mesh. Available in colors to match your fence. Provides wind reduction and visual screening while maintaining the strength of chain link construction.
  • Commercial and Security Grade -- Heavier-gauge mesh, thicker posts, and taller configurations up to 12 feet. Suitable for construction sites, storage yards, tech campus perimeters, and warehouse facilities throughout the I-15 corridor.

Built for the Conditions in North Utah County

Chain link fence installation in the Lehi area requires the same attention to post-setting as any other fence type. We dig every post hole to a minimum of 30 inches and set posts in concrete below the frost line. The open mesh design of chain link means wind resistance is lower than solid panel fences, but terminal posts, corner posts, and gate posts still need robust concrete footings to handle the cumulative lateral load from the tensioned wire mesh. We use steel tension bands, brace bands, and rail end fittings rated for the specific gauge and height of your fence, ensuring a taut, professional installation that stays tight for years.

Free On-Site Consultation

We measure your property, discuss your fencing goals, review height and gauge options, and check for any HOA restrictions. You receive a detailed estimate with no hidden fees.

2

Permits and Utility Locates

We handle permitting with Lehi City and schedule Blue Stakes to mark underground utilities before any digging begins.

3

Post Setting

Terminal, corner, and line posts are set in concrete below the frost line. We use a string line to ensure perfect alignment across the entire run.

4

Top Rail and Mesh Installation

Top rails are connected between posts, then chain link mesh is stretched taut using a come-along bar and tension bands. Every section is tensioned evenly for a clean, uniform appearance.

5

Final Walkthrough and Cleanup

We inspect every post, tension point, and gate with you. All scrap wire, packaging, and debris is removed. Your new chain link fence is ready to use.

Chain Link Fence FAQs for Lehi Homeowners

A galvanized chain link fence in the Lehi area typically lasts 15 to 20 years or more. Vinyl-coated chain link can last even longer because the coating provides an additional barrier against moisture and UV damage. Proper post installation with concrete footings below the frost line is the most important factor in long-term durability.

Yes, privacy slats are a popular add-on for chain link fences in Lehi. We offer vertical slats in multiple colors that weave through the chain link mesh, providing up to 85 percent visual screening. This is a cost-effective way to gain backyard privacy without the expense of a full vinyl or wood privacy fence.

Some Lehi-area HOAs restrict chain link fencing in front yards or highly visible areas, while others allow it in backyards and side yards. Many newer communities in Saratoga Springs and Eagle Mountain prohibit it entirely in favor of vinyl. We check your specific HOA guidelines during the estimate process to ensure compliance before any work begins.

We install residential chain link fences in heights from 3 feet to 6 feet, and commercial chain link up to 12 feet with barbed wire or razor wire top options. Lehi City permits typically allow up to 6 feet for backyard residential fences and 4 feet for front yards. Commercial properties may receive approval for taller installations.
