What Makes Us Different

Benefits of Chain Link Fencing

Chain Link Fence is Economical

If you are looking for one of the most affordable fencing options in Richmond Virginia, then chain link fencing fits the bill. With its strong steel components and maintenance-free features, chain link has a lot of "bang for its buck". It is also a type of fence that is often more easily installed than other types, making labor costs more affordable.

Chain Link Fences are Secure

Chain link fence's strong steel mesh is the reason they are often used for increasing security on many Richmond area properties. The ability to build these fences at different heights, and to even add barbed wire and other deterrents, make them an easy choice for security fencing.

Chain Link Fences are Strong

Richmond Virginia properties that install chain link fencing do so most often for its strength. The steel material holds up well year after year and is protected by its galvanized coating to prevent rust and corrosion that would weaken it.

Our Process

Our Aluminum Fence Process

NO-DIG FENCES

At Guardian Fence, we’re committed to providing you with a modern and more effective approach to setting fence posts with our no-dig method whenever possible. This means that your yard is left in the same condition it was before construction, with no piles of dirt, virtually no mess, and a much stronger fence!

01.

Faster Installation

Driving posts is the fastest way to install a Richmond Virginia residential or commercial fence. No-dig fences are constructed without digging holes which makes the process much more efficient, saving hours of additional labor. Additionally, fence panels, rails, and pickets can be installed immediately after the posts are installed without waiting for the concrete to set.

02.

Minimal Mess

Another major advantage of our no-dig approach is that our fence crews can keep your property in the best possible condition and avoid creating large piles of dirt that need to be removed or spread throughout your yard. We save you the hassle of dealing with all the extra soil, allowing you to enjoy a fence that looks like it’s always been there from day one!

03.

Superior Quality & Strength

A fence post is one of the most important parts of an aluminum fence to give it strength and ensure longevity. We use I-Posts that are double the thickness and have a stronger profile than traditional aluminum posts. With the increased depth of the I-Post driven into the soil over a traditional dig and set, your fence has increased leverage against impact, wind load, and frost heave.

Frequently Asked Questions

Whether you need a residential chain link or a commercial-grade chain link, it generally takes a few days maximum for one of our fence experts to get to most areas of Richmond Virginia, walk your property, and give you a detailed estimate of your entire chain link fence project.

You can certainly contact us to get even faster answers from our fence experts!

Once you approve the estimate, we can often install chain link fences in most of Richmond Virginia within 1 to 3 weeks, but please check with our office about your specific project. At times throughout the year, that timeframe may be less, or it may be longer.

Other things can delay the start of a fencing project. If you choose custom chain link fence style, color, or add-ons that must be specially ordered, your fence installation will often be delayed. These materials come from various manufacturers, and shipping and delivery times are beyond our control. We will help you identify, in advance, any of your choices that are likely to cause these additional delays, and we will offer alternatives whenever possible.

Make it Easy on Yourself!

Our chain link fence experts will gladly come to your property and take all necessary measurements! We are a full-service fence company that specializes in chain link fence installation. You do not need to work hard to get a great new fence.

DIY Fence Estimate

If you’d like to get a rough idea on your own about how much fencing you will need, follow these easy steps:

  • If you know the dimensions of the area you wish to enclose, add the length of each side together. Use a tape measure. Rough estimates are fine; there is no need to be too precise.
  • Be sure to subtract the length of any structures, like a house, a barn, or a shed, that will serve as part of the barrier. This will give you a rough estimate of how much fencing you need.
  • An additional step to get greater accuracy for the amount of residential fencing you will need is to subtract the length of any gates you will be using. Often, gates are priced much differently than fencing. For this reason, we recommend that property owners looking to develop their fence estimate list the gates separately. A standard walk gate is approximately 4 feet wide, and a standard single driveway gate is closer to 10 feet wide.

Chain link fencing is unique in its ability to be utilized for such a wide array of applications. Listed below are some of the most popular applications of chain link fencing:

  • Chain Link Fencing for Athletic Areas
    Athletic areas and children’s parks almost exclusively use chain link fencing. Richmond Virginia chain link fencing is both secure and durable, ensuring that safety and protection are prioritized for recreational activities. Chain link fencing provides peace of mind during play at athletic fields and parks.
  • Chain Link Fencing for Pool Areas
    Chain link fencing is very popular for protecting residential and commercial pool areas across the Richmond Virginia area. Adding the non-corrosive vinyl coating makes chain link fencing a great option for pool fencing in Richmond Virginia.
  • Chain Link Security Fencing
    Chain link fencing is the most popular type of security fencing in Richmond Virginia due to a large number of security add-ons available for the top of the fence and the height that a chain link fence can be designed and built. If securing your property is your primary objection, chain link fencing may be your perfect solution.

Every local municipality in Richmond Virginia has a separate set of requirements when it comes to building permits, and that includes chain link fencing. Sometimes the specific height of the fence or placement of the fence or purpose of the fence can impact the need for a permit. There are also HOA considerations in some areas.

We have installed many chain link fences in just about every possible area across Richmond Virginia so we are happy to answer these sorts of questions and/or to guide you through the process for your specific situation. This is one of the benefits of working with us!

The best way to get specific answers quickly and accurately is to simply call your town building code office.

There is no bad time of year to get a chain link fence in Richmond Virginia. As professional fencing contractors, we build fences across Richmond Virginia all year!

There are certain times during the year when our installation schedule is busier, but our installation team always does its best to get you the fence you need right when you need it. Reach out today to find out what our current schedule looks like! We always have room for one more fence!

Fence placement is ultimately the responsibility of you, the customer. Moving a fence after it’s already been installed can be costly, so it’s never a bad idea to get a survey to be safe. In many cases, the property lines are clear and well-marked and installing your fence can be done without an official survey. However, some municipalities do require it, so be sure to check!

There are many small fence companies in Richmond Virginia that install chain link fencing. Very few of them specifically train their teams on the best installation techniques and practices for installing chain link fencing. Unfortunately, this means that your chain link fence is almost certainly not installed as securely as it could be, ultimately reducing the quality and lifespan of your fence.

Inferior installation techniques and using improper tools can also damage the chain link during installation, which may have the unfortunate impact of voiding the manufacturer’s warranty. Be sure to choose a reliable fence company that has been around.

Here are some of the main pitfalls of working with non-professionals:

  1. The Chain Link Fence Warranty is Void
    If the individual or company that installed your chain link fence is no longer in business, the workmanship warranty on the fence and the gates is worthless. Additionally, some manufacturers won’t warranty their fence material if it was improperly installed or damaged during installation. Both situations are common with non-professionals.

  2. The Fence Almost Certainly Won’t Last As Long
    As a professional fence company, our team of installers undergoes rigorous training and constant professional supervision. Our dedication to improving our skills, knowledge of the best fencing materials, and best fence installation techniques maximizes the strength and life of your fence. Companies that install fences as something they do “on the side” usually have no idea how much they don’t know about chain link fencing or what is best for you and your property.

  3. Your Property May be at Risk
    Installing chain link fences in the Richmond Virginia area can be risky. Sudden, harsh weather during the fence installation can blow materials and damage your home. We’ve seen concrete splatter onto cars or drip down beautiful driveways or walkways as buckets of wet concrete are transported. Deep tire tracks sinking into your grass is another common issue. The secondary damage to homes and yards is common when untrained labor installs the fence.

    Additionally, you are at risk if anyone gets hurt on your property while they are working. If you hire an unlicensed or uninsured contractor, you may be liable and your homeowner’s insurance may deny payment!

At first glance, hiring a novice to install your fence may save you a few dollars, but in the long run, it is almost certainly a price you cannot afford to pay!
