The Smart Choice for Affordable Fencing
Chain link fencing delivers the best value per linear foot of any fencing material available today. It secures your property, contains pets and children, and defines boundaries without breaking the budget. For homeowners in Slidell, Covington, and across St. Tammany Parish who need dependable fencing at a reasonable price, chain link is the clear winner.
Our team at Venture Concrete & Fencing installs chain link fences using commercial-grade framework and tension wire systems. Every terminal post is set in concrete, top rails are joined with pressed-steel fittings, and the mesh fabric is stretched taut for a clean, professional appearance that reflects well on your property.
Advantages of Chain Link Fencing
- Exceptional durability — Galvanized steel resists rust and corrosion, standing up to Louisiana's rain, humidity, and Gulf storms for 20 years or more.
- Virtually maintenance-free — No painting, staining, or sealing required. An occasional rinse with a garden hose is all it takes to keep your fence looking sharp.
- Fast installation — Chain link goes up faster than wood or vinyl, which means lower labor costs and less disruption to your daily routine.
- Versatile configurations — Available in heights from 3 to 12 feet, with options for barbed wire, privacy slats, and windscreen for commercial applications.
- Open visibility — Ideal for front yards, side boundaries, and properties where you want security without blocking views or natural light.
Residential Chain Link Fencing
Residential chain link fences are most commonly installed at 4 or 6 feet high to contain pets, mark property lines, and protect gardens. We use 11.5-gauge galvanized wire fabric as standard, which provides a sturdy mesh that won't sag or stretch under normal conditions. For families with dogs that jump or push against the fence, we offer 9-gauge heavy-duty mesh for added strength.
Residential installations include a walk gate at minimum, with optional double-swing drive gates for backyard access. All gates feature self-closing hinges and secure latches that meet pool enclosure codes when required.
Commercial Chain Link Fencing
Commercial properties have different security demands, and our chain link systems scale to meet them. We install 6 to 12-foot perimeter fences for warehouses, construction sites, storage yards, and municipal facilities throughout the Northshore. Commercial projects typically use heavier 9-gauge or 6-gauge fabric, line posts on 8-foot centers, and can include three-strand barbed wire arms, razor ribbon, or knuckle-top finishes depending on the application.
We also install temporary chain link panels for construction sites and special events, with the option to convert temporary installations into permanent fencing once the project is complete.
Material Options
Galvanized Chain Link
Standard galvanized chain link is the most economical option. The zinc coating protects the steel from rust and provides a bright, metallic finish. Galvanized fencing is available in all heights and gauges, making it suitable for any residential or commercial application where appearance is secondary to function.
Vinyl-Coated Chain Link
Vinyl-coated chain link wraps each wire in a layer of colored PVC that adds an extra barrier against corrosion and softens the fence's visual impact. Available in black, green, brown, and white, vinyl coating helps the fence blend with landscaping or match your home's color scheme. The coating also eliminates the metallic glare of bare galvanized wire, giving the fence a more refined look.
Gate Options
Every chain link fence installation includes at least one gate, and we offer several configurations to match your access needs:
- Walk gates — 3 to 4-foot single-swing gates for pedestrian access, available with spring-loaded hinges for automatic closing.
- Double-swing gates — 8 to 16-foot openings that accommodate vehicles, trailers, and equipment. Center drop rods secure both panels when closed.
- Sliding cantilever gates — For commercial properties with grade changes or limited swing clearance. Motor-operated options available for automated access control.
