Chain link fence installation doesn’t get enough credit. It’s one of the most durable, versatile materials in fencing, and one of the most misunderstood. Homeowners use it to contain dogs and give kids a yard to run in. Commercial property managers use it to secure warehouse perimeters, screen equipment, and meet code requirements. Schools and municipalities rely on it for athletic fields and recreational areas. It does its job quietly and holds up for decades.
Everlasting Fence has been installing chain link across Greater Philadelphia since 1980. We bring the same in-house crews and build standards to a residential backyard as we do to a commercial security perimeter. The material changes with the job. The craftsmanship doesn’t.
The backyard should be the one place nobody’s watching the gate. Kids run around, the dog has room to do what dogs do, and you’re not spending the afternoon wondering where the gap is. That’s what the right fence gives you. Not just a boundary. Peace of mind.
For most families, a standard galvanized chain link fence handles the job cleanly and holds up through years of use. If you want a more finished look, vinyl coated chain link fence is available in black and other colors. Same structural performance, better curb appeal. And if privacy matters, a chain link fence with privacy slats fits into the existing framework without requiring a full material change.
Residential chain link works well on its own or as part of a mixed-material setup. Some homeowners run aluminum fencing across the front of the property for the aesthetic, then use chain link on the sides and back where security matters more than appearance. We’ll walk you through what makes sense for your yard.

Over 40 years. 100,000 fences installed. Everlasting Fence has been serving commercial property owners across Greater Philadelphia since 1980, and commercial chain link has been part of that work from the beginning. We know the difference between a residential job and a commercial one, and we treat them accordingly.
The gauge requirements are heavier on a commercial site. The gate configurations are more complex. The stakes of a bad installation are higher. A fence that fails on a warehouse perimeter or school property isn’t just an inconvenience. It’s a liability.
We serve commercial property owners, general contractors, municipalities, and facilities managers across Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware. Whatever the application, the same in-house crew handles it from start to finish.
We install commercial-grade chain link with the gauge, post sizing, and anchoring depth your site requires. Height configurations start at standard residential and scale up to industrial-grade perimeter fencing. Automated and manual access gates, swing, slide, or bi-parting, are built to handle daily operational use.
We work on both prevailing wage and open-shop commercial projects throughout the Philadelphia region.
Every installer on your job is an Everlasting employee. Not a subcontractor filling a slot. They take ownership of what they leave behind, and they don’t call the job done until it’s right.
Chain link has been part of our work since the beginning. Residential backyards, commercial perimeters, school fields, industrial sites. That experience shows in how we set posts, how we spec gauge for the application, and how we build gates that still operate the way they should years later.
Township requirements vary across every county we serve. We know the codes, handle the applications, and get it done as part of your job.
Chain link fence cost depends on linear footage, fence height, post gauge, gate count and configuration, vinyl coating versus standard galvanized, and site conditions like grade changes or rocky soil. A residential backyard runs differently than a commercial perimeter job. We come out, walk the site, and give you a detailed quote. Request your free estimate to get started.
Galvanized chain link is coated in zinc to resist corrosion. It’s the standard silver finish most people recognize, reliable and cost-effective. Vinyl coated chain link fence adds a layer of PVC over the wire, available in black and other colors. The coating improves the appearance, adds weather protection, and blends better in residential settings. Both hold up. The right choice depends on your budget, your aesthetic preference, and where the fence is going.
Yes. Chain link fence with privacy slats fits into the existing mesh and adds real screening without replacing the fence. Slats come in several colors. It’s a practical upgrade for residential properties where you want privacy but aren’t ready for a full wood or vinyl installation.
Most municipalities in the Philadelphia area require one, with height limits and setback requirements that vary by township. We manage the permit application as part of your job. Hand it off to us.
A properly installed galvanized chain link fence lasts 20 years or more with minimal maintenance. Vinyl coated options hold up well against moisture and UV exposure and last comparably. Post depth and concrete anchoring matter as much as the wire itself. A fence set correctly from the start holds longer and costs less to maintain over time.
We serve residential and commercial chain link fence projects throughout the greater Philadelphia area, including Montgomery, Bucks, Delaware, Chester, and Philadelphia counties, plus select communities in South Jersey and Delaware.
The chain link fence we put in your yard or on your property today will still be doing its job long after the crew that installed it is gone. That’s been the standard at Everlasting since the beginning, and it won’t change.
