Chain link is the lowest-cost way to fence a yard in Akron and it follows a slope with no gaps. We install galvanized and color-coated chain link for homes, landlords and businesses.
Chain link gives the most fence for the money, and Akron has miles of it. It keeps a dog in, marks a line, lets you see through and asks for almost no care. We install galvanized chain link and black or green vinyl-coated chain link for yards, rentals and business lots.
Chain link is also the easiest fence to run up and down a hill, because the fabric is stretched to follow the top rail and the ground. That makes it a good fit for the graded back yards on the north and west sides. For a dog that digs, we add a bottom rail or a tension wire and can bury the lower edge.
Where the fence can go is a local matter. Akron keeps fencing near the street low or very open, and neighboring Cuyahoga Falls caps chain link at 4 feet in house districts and keeps it out of front yards. We check the rule for your town first. For a quote, call or text (330) 521-3641.
Chain link in Akron: common questions
Galvanized or black coated chain link?
Galvanized costs less and lasts for many years. Black or green coated fabric costs more, blends into the yard and adds a layer of protection against road salt near a driveway or street. Either works for a dog.
How tall should chain link be for a large dog?
Five or six feet for most large dogs, where your town allows that height in a back yard. A dog that climbs is a separate problem, because chain link gives it footholds. Tell us how your dog behaves and we will say so if another fence is a better fit.
Can privacy slats be added to chain link?
Yes. Slats or a privacy screen can be fitted to new or existing chain link. They add wind load, so the posts and footings have to be strong enough. We look at the existing posts before recommending it.
