A residential chain link fence is a woven wire fence system built from galvanized steel posts and chain link fence fabric stretched tightly across the fence line. Rare Bears Fencing constructs each fence system with terminal posts, gate posts, and a secure framework designed to hold up through Seattle's wet weather.
The diamond mesh marks your yard and helps keep pets and children in, while keeping sightlines open across the property.

Choosing the right height and gauge depends on your property's needs. Standard residential chain link fence height usually ranges from 4 to 6 feet, though chain link fences are available in heights from 3 to 12 feet, with special heights available by special order for unique properties.
The gauge indicates the thickness of the fence fabric, with lower numbers meaning thicker, stronger wire. Residential specifications typically call for a lighter, residential-grade gauge than commercial applications, since homes usually prioritize cost and visibility over industrial-grade strength. Every post is set into the ground with concrete for lasting stability.
Chain link fencing works in nearly any part of your property, from backyards to full perimeter boundaries. Rare Bears Fencing measures your property lines accurately to determine total fence length before construction begins, so every post lines up exactly where it should.
A backyard chain link fence gives pets a safe place to play and keeps children contained without blocking your view of the yard. It is one of the most requested installations we handle for Seattle homeowners each year.
Installing chain link alongside yards clearly marks the property line between neighboring homes. This reduces the risk of boundary disputes while keeping the area open, secure, and easy to maintain year-round.
A chain link fence around a pool adds a secure barrier that still allows a clear view of swimmers from indoors. Many local codes require a barrier around pools; chain link meets that need affordably when it meets the height and self-latching gate rules for your area.
For complete property coverage, chain link fencing can enclose your entire lot from front to back, with posts set to follow your yard's grade and corners.
Chain link fencing can also enclose sheds, garages, or other buildings on your property. This keeps equipment and storage areas secure without the added cost of a solid fence structure.
Proper spacing and leveling of posts are critical for performance, and our team anchors every post securely during installation.
A complete chain link fencing system depends on more than just mesh. Fence posts, rails, fittings, and hardware all work together to create a secure structure that holds up over time.
A chain link fence gate completes your fence system with secure access to your property. Our team installs gate posts, hinges, and fittings built to match the strength of the surrounding fence line.
Every gate is hung level with heavy-duty hardware built for daily use, so latches and hinges stay aligned season after season.
A strong chain-link fence starts with the right post and frame setup. We use galvanized steel posts sized to the height and length of your fence line, giving the whole structure long-term stability.
Posts are set with careful attention to spacing and leveling, so the fence stays sturdy and straight, and follow your yard's grade.
Chain link fence repair is often simpler than it looks, since individual components can be replaced without removing large sections of fence. Regular inspections catch loose ties, worn mesh, and small issues early, before they become bigger problems. Keeping vegetation trimmed away from the fence also prevents moisture buildup and corrosion over time.
Choosing the right fence company matters just as much as choosing the right materials. Rare Bears Fencing brings expert installation, durable components, and honest service to every chain link fence project across Seattle.

Cost depends on fence height, gauge, coating type, and total property length. Rare Bears Fencing provides a transparent quote after a free on-site estimate, so you know exactly what to expect before work begins.
The standard height typically ranges from 4 to 6 feet, though taller options up to 12 feet can be special ordered for properties needing extra security or privacy.
The best gauge depends on your security needs, since lower gauge numbers mean thicker, stronger wire. Most residential properties use a lighter gauge than commercial applications, balancing cost with everyday security.
Chain link fencing offers affordability, durability, and low maintenance, along with clear visibility across your property. The main tradeoff is openness; where you want seclusion, woven PVC privacy slats close the mesh in.
Residential chain link fences typically use standard grade steel posts sized for everyday security needs, while commercial applications often require heavier-grade posts to handle heavier use and larger property lines.
Yes, woven PVC privacy slats can be added into the mesh to reduce visibility while keeping the fence's security benefits intact. This gives homeowners a middle ground between open chain link and a fully solid fence.
