A security chain link fence is a woven-wire fence system designed to protect your property while maintaining clear visibility around the perimeter. We install these fences using galvanized steel posts, tension wire, and diamond mesh links designed to resist corrosion and wear. Looking for a residential chain link fence instead? We install those too.
Galvanized steel is the go-to material for chain link fence durability, and vinyl coatings can further improve corrosion resistance in wetter climates like Seattle's. A chain link fence keeps sightlines open along the perimeter, so activity stays visible for cameras or staff, making it a strong choice for backyards, commercial properties, and anywhere visibility matters as much as protection.

A secure chain link fence combines strength, visibility, and low maintenance into one system. Rare Bears Fencing builds each fence with fastening hardware, terminal posts, and a bottom rail that keeps the mesh tight and properly supported from one side of your property to the other.
Chain link fencing has a long track record in commercial and residential security. It defines your property boundary clearly, which can discourage casual entry, while still allowing full visibility for access control and monitoring.
Standard chain link does not offer much privacy on its own, so many properties pair it with woven PVC privacy slats, gates, or cameras as part of a broader security system rather than relying on the fence line alone.
Why Homeowners and Businesses Choose It:
Visibility: Keep clear sightlines around your property
Durability: Galvanized steel resists rust and corrosion for 20+ years
Low Maintenance: Routine inspections and cleaning keep it working well
Flexibility: Works alongside gates, cameras, and other security equipment
Every property has different security and style needs. Our security chain link fencing comes in two standard coatings, so you can match protection with the look you want.
These are commercial and residential security chain link fence projects we've finished across King and Snohomish County, from single-gate enclosures to full-perimeter installations.

Chain link fences vary by wire gauge, coating type, and framing strength to fit different security needs. Below is a breakdown of the security chain link fence types we install, from residential to industrial grade.
Backyard enclosures typically use shorter fences with lighter wire, ideal for keeping a dog contained or creating a safe play area for children. For higher-risk sites, the spec calls for mesh openings between 3/8 inch and 1 inch, with heights ranging from 3 to 12 feet depending on the level of protection needed.
A high security chain link fence brings together protection, cost, and practicality in one system. We design each fence to meet the specific needs of your property, whether residential or commercial.
Chain link fencing is generally less expensive than solid or ornamental fencing options, making it a practical choice for properties needing strong security without a high price tag.
When properly selected for your environment, a chain link fence can last 20+ years with proper maintenance. Galvanized steel posts and corrosion-resistant coatings keep the fence structurally sound through years of Seattle's wet weather.
Chain link fences pair easily with gates, cameras, and other security equipment already on your property. This flexibility helps eliminate blind spots and build a layered system instead of relying on the fence alone.
A visible fence line marks your property and signals it's maintained and watched. You keep full sightlines while defining where your property begins and ends.
A complete security chain link fencing system relies on more than just mesh. Line posts, gate posts, terminal posts, and concrete footings all work together to keep your fence square and tensioned, no matter what type of building or property it surrounds.
Gate security starts with properly set gate posts and durable hardware. Our team installs gates with secure hinges, hook latches, bolts, and fittings designed to handle daily use without loosening over time.
Gate posts are set deeper and braced so the opening carries the same load as the run.
Woven PVC privacy slats are inserted directly into the mesh to add privacy without sacrificing structural strength. These slats come in multiple colors, including green, black, and brown, and can be installed across the center of the fence or along its full length depending on your privacy needs.
Slats also help reduce visibility into your yard while keeping the fence's security benefits fully intact. Proper chain link fence installations also depend on tension wire and securing hardware, which keep the mesh pulled tight along the top rail and bottom edges.
Every security chain link fence installed by Rare Bears Fencing is backed by our 10-year warranty on materials and workmanship. This protection covers installation quality, so you can trust every post and panel to hold up over time.

The bottom of a chain link fence can be secured by burying the mesh in a trench, attaching a bottom rail, or using a bottom wire pulled tight with securing hardware. This keeps pets in, blocks small intruders, and prevents the fence from lifting at ground level.
If you've noticed gaps, loose mesh, or other signs of wear, the process usually starts with checking your posts, fastening hardware, and gate fittings. Digging out and resetting a leaning post, tightening connection points, or adding woven PVC privacy slats are common fixes if you're wondering where to start.
You can increase security by choosing a smaller mesh size, adding barbed wire along the top, installing woven PVC privacy slats, or pairing the fence with gates and cameras. Taller fence heights and thicker wire gauges also add extra protection.
Most residential installations are completed within one day, depending on the length of the fence line and terrain conditions. Commercial project timelines vary based on scope. Our team provides a clear timeline during your free on-site estimate.
