Ideal Fencing Corp — A RoadGuard Company

Chain Link Fencing

Commercial and industrial chain link fencing for security perimeters, construction sites, and athletic facilities across 13 states.

Your project timeline does not have room for a fencing contractor who cannot mobilize on schedule. When you hire Ideal Fencing Corp for commercial chain link installation, you get licensed crews in 13 states, a single point of contact from bid day through final punch list, and a contractor backed by RoadGuard — an employee-owned division of GeoStabilization International with more than two decades of infrastructure experience.

What You Get

Commercial chain link fencing remains the most cost-effective perimeter security option for industrial sites, construction zones, athletic facilities, and public infrastructure. We install galvanized, vinyl-coated, and powder-coated chain link systems from 4 feet to 12 feet in height, with options for barbed wire, razor wire, and privacy slat enhancements. Every installation meets ASTM F668 fabric standards and is engineered for wind loads specific to your region — whether that means Front Range gusts along the Colorado I-25 corridor or sustained coastal winds on the Oregon coast.

Why General Contractors and Facility Managers Choose Us

Speed and reliability separate us from the field. We maintain material inventory at our Erie, Colorado headquarters and regional staging areas, which means we are not waiting on a distributor when your schedule says start Monday. Our average mobilization time for chain link projects under 5,000 linear feet is 5 to 7 business days from signed contract. For emergency and construction-phase fencing, we have deployed crews within 48 hours.

We carry $25M+ in bonding capacity, $5M in general liability coverage, and workers compensation in every state we operate. That matters when a DOT project manager or corporate risk department is reviewing your subcontractor list.

Specifications and Options

Our commercial chain link systems use 9-gauge through 6-gauge fabric depending on security requirements. Standard framework includes Schedule 40 pipe for terminal posts and Schedule 20 for line posts, though we engineer to heavier specs for high-wind or high-security applications. Coatings include hot-dip galvanized per ASTM A123, PVC vinyl coating in black, green, or brown, and thermoplastic powder coating for color matching. Height ranges from 4 feet for property delineation up to 12 feet with three-strand barbed wire extensions for maximum deterrent.

Where We Install

We hold active contractor licenses in Colorado, Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, Utah, New Mexico, Kansas, Wyoming, Kentucky, Tennessee, Ohio, and Nebraska. Our chain link crews work in every terrain across these states — from sea-level coastal installations to 9,000-foot mountain facility perimeters. We understand soil conditions, frost lines, and wind engineering requirements that vary dramatically across our service territory.

Project Scale and Pricing

Chain link fencing projects range from small property enclosures of a few hundred feet to multi-mile DOT perimeter projects. Commercial installations typically fall between $18 and $45 per linear foot depending on height, fabric gauge, coating, and terrain. We provide detailed per-foot pricing in every proposal — no ambiguous allowances or surprise change orders. Projects over 2,500 linear feet receive volume pricing, and we offer multi-site program pricing for property management companies and facility portfolios.

The Ideal Fencing Difference

Because 100% of our employees are owners, every crew member has a direct stake in your project's outcome. That translates to cleaner job sites, tighter punch lists, and warranty callbacks that actually get answered. We provide a standard 2-year workmanship warranty on all chain link installations, with material warranties per manufacturer terms — typically 20 years for galvanized and 10 years for coated systems.

Frequently Asked Questions

Commercial chain link installations typically range from $18 to $45 per linear foot, depending on height, fabric gauge, coating type, and terrain conditions. A standard 6-foot galvanized chain link fence on flat ground averages $22 to $28 per linear foot installed. Higher security specifications, difficult soil conditions, and sloped terrain increase costs. We provide itemized per-foot pricing in every proposal.

Installation speed depends on project scale and terrain. A typical crew installs 200 to 400 linear feet per day on prepared ground. A 2,000-foot perimeter project usually takes 5 to 10 working days from mobilization. We can mobilize within 5 to 7 business days of signed contract, or within 48 hours for emergency situations.

We install commercial chain link from 4 feet to 12 feet in height. Most commercial and industrial applications use 6-foot or 8-foot fabric. For maximum security, we install 8-foot or 10-foot fabric with three-strand barbed wire or razor coil extensions adding 1 to 3 feet of additional height.

Yes. We maintain active contractor licenses and crews in Colorado, Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, Utah, New Mexico, Kansas, Wyoming, Kentucky, Tennessee, Ohio, and Nebraska. Our regional staging areas allow us to mobilize equipment and materials efficiently across all thirteen states.

Galvanized chain link is zinc-coated steel that provides excellent corrosion resistance at the lowest cost. It has a silver metallic appearance. Vinyl-coated chain link adds a PVC layer over the galvanized core, available in black, green, brown, and other colors. It offers better aesthetics and additional corrosion protection, typically at a 15 to 25 percent premium over standard galvanized.

We provide a 2-year workmanship warranty covering installation quality, post alignment, fabric tension, and gate operation. Material warranties are per manufacturer terms — typically 20 years for galvanized products and 10 years for vinyl-coated systems. We honor warranty callbacks promptly across all service states.
