Chain Link Fence Installation in Sparta, Cookeville & Middle Tennessee
Galvanized and black vinyl-coated chain link for homes, farms, and businesses. Reliable, cost-effective fencing with gates, privacy slats, and barbed wire when you need them.
Reliable, Cost-Effective Fencing for Any Property
Chain link is the hardest-working fence there is. It’s strong, it costs less per foot than most other fences, and it lasts for decades with almost no maintenance. It keeps dogs and kids in, marks a property line, and secures a business without blocking the view.
Cloyd’s Fencing installs chain link for backyards, farms, storage facilities, and industrial sites across Sparta, Cookeville, and Middle Tennessee. We work with trusted suppliers like Master Halco for chain link and fittings.
Chain Link Options
Most chain link jobs start with two choices: the finish and the height. From there, you add what the property needs, whether that’s gates, slats for privacy, or barbed wire for security.
Galvanized Chain Link
Galvanized chain link is the classic silver fence. A zinc coating protects the steel from rust, and it’s the most budget-friendly option for backyards, pastures, and work yards.
Black Vinyl-Coated Chain Link
Black vinyl-coated chain link adds a polymer coating over galvanized wire, with black posts and rails to match. It blends into the landscape instead of standing out, so it’s a popular upgrade for homes, pools, schools, and storefronts.
Gates
Every chain link fence needs a way through. We install walk gates, double drive gates, and wide rolling or slide gates for driveways and work yards. If you want the gate to open on its own, see our automatic gates and controlled entry page.
Privacy Slats
Privacy slats slide through the mesh to block the view of a backyard, equipment, or a storage area. They’re a quick way to add screening without building a solid fence.
Barbed Wire for Security
For businesses, utilities, and farms that need extra security, barbed wire can be added on angled arms above the fence. Local codes often restrict it near homes, so we’ll help you check first.
Residential and Commercial Chain Link
A backyard fence and a commercial fence look alike from the road, but they’re built differently. Commercial chain link uses heavier wire, larger posts, and deeper footings to stand up to trucks, gates, and daily use. Our guide to commercial chain link fence explains gauge, post sizes, and heights in detail.

How We Build It
- Layout first. We confirm the fence line, gates, and property boundaries before any posts go in.
- Posts set for the ground. Terminal posts at corners, ends, and gates carry the most load, so they’re larger and set deeper. Rocky Upper Cumberland ground and slopes are planned for, not worked around.
- Tight fabric. Fabric is stretched tight and tied off to the framework, with a bottom tension wire so it stays snug at grade.
- Gates that swing true. Gate posts and hinges are sized for the gate, so it doesn’t drag after a season.
Most residential chain link fences take one to three days to install. Larger commercial projects are scheduled with you during the quote.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a chain link fence cost?
Chain link is usually the most cost-effective fence per foot, but the price depends on the length, height, coating, number of gates, and the ground. We give every customer a tailored estimate instead of a generic per-foot price.
Is black chain link worth it?
If the fence is visible from your house or the street, many people think so. Black vinyl-coated chain link fades into the background and adds a layer of protection over the galvanizing. Galvanized is the better value for back-of-property and work yards.
How tall should a chain link fence be?
Four feet is common for front yards and pets, and 5 to 6 feet is common for backyards. Commercial and security fences usually run 6 to 8 feet. Local height limits apply, so check our guide to Tennessee fence permit requirements.
Do you repair chain link fences?
Yes. We repair bent posts and rails, loose or damaged fabric, and sagging gates, and we replace sections when a repair won’t hold.
