Chain Link & Aluminum Fence Facts

Chain link fences are preferred in suitable projects for three important benefits: they are very strong, offer superior durability and are more affordable compared to other common fencing options. Aluminum fencing enhances your outdoor space, adds curb appeal and provides enhanced safety, especially for pool areas. An aluminum fence offers improved strength, durability and beauty over other fencing solutions.

Let’s take a look at the different advantages each type provides and see which one is right for you!

Looking for more info on chain link fences? We’re happy to help you, Montco Fence is a respected chain link fencing contractor for Phoenixville, King of Prussia, Downington, Norristown, Douglassville, Pennsburg, and nearby Eastern Pennsylvania communities.

Chain Link Fence Materials

We install galvanized steel chain link fencing, which offers superior durability, including best weather- and water-resistant performance, enhanced strength to resist deformation and rust-proofing. We also offer galvanized steel chain link fencing with an exterior vinyl coating in green or black, for improved concealment and beautification.

Chain Link Fence Height

Most chain link fences are from 4′ to 6′ tall, especially for residential applications that need to comply with local ordinances. We commonly install chain link fencing up to 12′ in height in permitted areas, typically for commercial properties. We are also able to perform taller chain link fence installations for specialized purposes – just ask and we can review your chain link fence options.

Enhanced Chain Link Fencing Security Features

Enhanced security features offer improved performance for safety and protection. Montco Fence has a variety of barbed wire extension packages available, including razor ribbon. We recommend chain link fence height of no less than 8′ for all barbed wire and razor ribbon installations.

Montco Fence was great, I had fielded a couple of quotes from the area, and though they may not have been the cheapest, they worked with me on what I wanted and needed with some great recommendations. I was given multiple options of different styles from my guy Jim at Montco Fence as well, he was great to work with. The team that came in was great, respectful, timely and got everything done in about a day and 1/2. I think they hit some unexpected shale/rocks that took a little extra time. Everyone at HQ, over the phone, was helpful as well with questions and getting the billing set up. I'm very glad that, for an investment like this, I went with Montco Fence.

Everyone at Montco does an amazing job. I appreciated the design input for the fence when they came out to measure. The crew were timely, professional and left the yard beautiful after. I highly recommend them. They are supportive all the way through the process.

Start to finish they were very pleasant to work with, from Colin who came out and gave the estimate to the crew who worked at my house. They scheduled installation extremely fast from the time I got the quote and permit. The fence was installed in one day and I have a large property. Very happy with the finished product.
