Strength
The legendary strength of the galvanized steel mesh and posts is one of the main reasons for its popularity over the decades.
Premium Chainlink Fencing in Calgary
Many residential properties in Calgary have used chain link fencing for decades to fence off a yard or front garden or to turn a smaller area into a dog run.
This style of fencing has withstood the test of time largely because it is very cost-effective, easy to install, extremely strong and durable, and provides an effective physical barrier without blocking the view.

Types of Calgary Chainlink Fencing
You may be familiar with the traditional galvanized (steel-coloured) chain link fence.
However, because of the enduring popularity of chainlink fencing in Calgary, more colours have come onto the market in recent times.
Galvanized Chain Link Fence
Made of galvanized steel, this traditional fence is available in different gauges and heights.
The framework and mesh are manufactured from corrosion-resistant steel pipe and galvanized wire. The larger steel gauges can provide a more robust fence that is more resistant to wire-cutting tools and bending.
With the open diamond design of the mesh, you have an unobstructed view but the fence clearly delineates your property.
Black Chain Link Fence – And Other Colours
Black fencing provides a good alternative to the steel-coloured fencing if you’re after a slightly different look for your home.
Chain link fences are also available for order in white, brown, or green.
The latter is often a good option if you want your fence to blend in with the surroundings of your garden.
Chain Link Fence Gate
Chain link fence gates allow easy entry and exit from your property. These are available in a variety of designs, including:
- Single swing (welded or bent tube)
- Double swing (welded or bent tube)
- Slide cantilever
- Rolo
Strong enough to withstand a cyclone
A chain link fence may look less robust than some other options but don’t be fooled – it’s really strong!
That’s why it’s used in many high-traffic public spaces and sports areas, where it often has to absorb repeated blows from balls and other sporting equipment.
And can withstand gale-force winds.
Whereas many other types of fences would be ripped up or flattened in such conditions, a chain link fence has a great chance of survival.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are First Class Fencing’s chain link fences cemented or driven?
For residential and commercial installations, we usually use cemented posts to provide the best possible durability and long-term resistance. Depending on your needs, we can adjust our installation method for optimal effectiveness and cost-savings.
How do I maintain a chain link fence?
Since these fences are made of steel, they resist environmental and pest-related damage. But you should look out for dirt and mud, excess moisture, and loose bolts. Learn more here.
How can you tighten a chain link fence?
If you want to tighten a chain link fence, firstly use your hands to pull the tension bar into the tension bands on the end post. Then use a socket wrench to tighten the bolts on the bands. Then you should release the fence puller and remove the pull bar to which it was attached. Repeat this process along all sections of the fence.
How long does a chain link fence last?
A chain link fence can last up to 20-30 years. This usually makes it an excellent long-term investment for your property.
Can you cut a chain link fence?
Yes – with the aid of bolt cutters. Make your measurements and then cut through the cut line wire by wire. A chain link fence also has a tension bar and you can use the bolt cutters to cut through that too, if necessary.
