For Information or Installation:To have a new, long lasting chain link fence installed or for more information about your fencing needs visit our website at www.chainlinkinfo.org

Now that you have familiarized yourself with chain link fence, it is a good idea to look for residential fence contractors having at least 5 years experience, a place of business to view samples and preferably a member of the American Fence Association (AFA).

Expect More From Chain Link.The average consumer expects a new chain link fence to last over 20 years and one built with quality materials can last even longer.

To get the enjoyment and durability you expect from your new fence, invest in quality materials. A chain link fence built with quality materials can last longer than 20 years expected by most.While you might save money on lower grades of chain link fence materials, the savings will be at the expense of the quality and durability. The initial additional cost of a chain link fence constructed using stronger heavier/thicker wall framework and heavier gauge, smaller mesh fabric adds more value, more strength and longevity than one constructed using low grade materials. The stronger materials will make your fence look better for many more years.

CLFMI polled residential fence consumers to determine their expectations for fence strength and life span, and the results were converted into these minimum recommended products.
