Chain link
Chain Link Fence Installation in Casa Grande, AZ
Bacson Landscaping installs chain link fencing for homes, businesses and open lots across Casa Grande and the surrounding Pinal County communities — new fence lines, gates, and replacement of fencing that’s rusted, sagging or been damaged.
Chain link is the practical answer when the job is to enclose ground rather than to decorate it. It is often a cost-conscious alternative to masonry or ornamental iron, can require less site work, generally requires limited routine maintenance once it’s in, and the open mesh lets wind through instead of catching it.

Homes
Residential Chain Link Fencing
Around a house, chain link earns its place where you want the yard contained without paying for a wall — a dog run, a side yard, a back fence line on an unbuilt lot, or keeping kids and pets out of an area while a project is underway.
It also works as a boundary you can see through. On a lot backing open desert, an open mesh keeps the view your property was bought for instead of walling it off.
Business & work yards
Commercial & Property Perimeter Fencing
Most of the chain link we install is doing a job: securing a yard, a lot, equipment or materials. Commercial runs tend to be longer, with wider gates for trucks and trailers, and the priority is a fence that stands up to use rather than one that looks decorative.
Perimeter fencing on acreage is a related job — long straight runs, corners braced to hold tension, and gates positioned where you actually drive in, not where the property corner happens to fall.
Access
Chain Link Gates
Walk gates for daily access and wider drive gates for vehicles, trailers and equipment. Gate hardware and post size get matched to the gate — a wide drive gate puts far more load on its posts than a line post ever sees, and that’s where a poor install shows up first, usually as a gate that sags or operates poorly.
Worth deciding early: how wide the opening needs to be and which way it should swing, given the space available.
Materials
Fabric, Posts, Rails & Finishes
A chain link fence is fabric (the mesh), line and terminal posts, top rail, and the fittings that tension it all together. The parts people notice are the fabric and the color; the parts that decide whether the fence stays straight over time are the terminal posts, the corner bracing and how well the fabric was tensioned.
Galvanized is the standard silver finish—zinc-coated steel. Ask about the finish options available for your project.
Existing fence
Replacing & Repairing Chain Link Fencing
Old chain link fails in predictable ways: fabric rusting through at the bottom, top rail sagging between posts, posts leaning where the ground has moved, or a section flattened by a vehicle. We replace fence lines and repair damaged runs — the commercial fence in the photo above is a line we installed and repaired.
Whether a run is worth repairing depends on the rest of it. If the posts are sound and one section is damaged, repair is the cheaper answer. If the fabric is going at ground level along the whole length, replacement usually makes more sense than chasing it. We’ll look and tell you which.
Local conditions
Installing Chain Link in Casa Grande Ground
The hard part of a fence job here is below grade. Caliche — a cemented hardpan layer — is common in parts of Pinal County. Caliche can make post-hole excavation slower, so ground conditions should be considered during site evaluation and estimating.
Above grade, the two things working on a fence are sun and wind. Chain link handles both about as well as any fencing does: galvanized steel doesn’t fade or rot in this sun, and open mesh doesn’t catch a gust the way a solid panel does. What determines whether it stays straight is the terminal and corner posts and how the fabric is tensioned — the parts nobody photographs.
Layout
Fence Layout & Property Lines
Before anything gets dug, the fence line has to be settled: where the boundary actually runs, how far inside it you want to sit, where gates go, and how the run meets existing walls, structures or a neighbor’s fence.
If the property line matters to your project — you’re fencing to the boundary rather than well inside it — a current survey is the only thing that settles it. We build to the line you give us. Where you’re unsure, it’s worth resolving before posts go in the ground rather than after.
Requirements
Height, Permits & Local Rules
Fence requirements are local, and they depend on height, where the fence sits on the lot, and your jurisdiction. In Casa Grande, the city code sets rules for residential fences and walls: in residential zones no fence or wall may be more than six feet in height, with additional restrictions covering required front yards, side yards, and sight-line triangles at corner lots and driveways (Casa Grande City Code § 17.52.160).
Outside Casa Grande—in Eloy, Arizona City, Coolidge, or unincorporated Pinal County—the applicable rules can differ, as can rules on a property under an HOA. Whether a permit is required also depends on the jurisdiction and the project. We build to what applies to your property, but we’re a fencing contractor rather than the code authority — confirm specifics with the Casa Grande Development Center or your local building department before you rely on them.
If your fence is going around a pool, different and stricter rules apply — see our pool fence installation page.
Choosing
When Chain Link Is the Right Call
Chain link is the practical option, and it isn’t always the right one. It makes sense when you’re enclosing a lot of ground, when containment matters more than appearance, when you want to keep a view, or when budget rules the decision.
Where something else fits better: for privacy and a finished look along a property line, a block wall does what chain link can’t. For a pool barrier, or where you want an open view with a more finished appearance, wrought iron is the usual answer. Plenty of properties end up with a combination — block along the street, chain link around the work yard out back. We build all of it, so we’ve no reason to steer you toward one over another.
Our process
How We Install Chain Link Fencing
Walk the property
We look at the run, the ground, access for equipment, where gates make sense and what the fence has to do.
Lay out the line
The fence line and gate openings get marked, corners and terminal points established before anything is dug.
Set terminal and line posts
Corner, end and gate posts go in first — they carry the tension — then the line posts between them.
Top rail and framework
Rail and fittings tie the posts together into a frame before any fabric goes on.
Hang and tension the fabric
Mesh is hung, pulled to tension and tied off. Tension is what keeps a fence from going wavy.
Hang gates and clean up
Gates hung and adjusted so they swing and latch properly, then the site gets cleaned up.
Budget
What Chain Link Fencing Costs
Chain link is often selected as a cost-conscious fencing option, but the number still depends on the project: total linear feet, fence height, how many gates and how wide, whether existing fence has to come out first, how hard the ground is where posts go, and whether equipment can reach the line or everything has to be carried in.
We measure on site and price the actual run. The walkthrough is free, and if part of your existing fence is worth keeping, we’ll say so instead of quoting a full replacement.
Common questions
Chain Link Fence Installation FAQ
How much does chain link fence installation cost in Casa Grande?
It’s priced by the project. The main drivers are how many linear feet you need, fence height, how many gates and what size, whether old fencing has to come out first, ground conditions where posts go in, and access for equipment. We measure on site and give you a real number rather than a per-foot figure that moves once we get there. The walkthrough is free.
Is chain link fencing a good choice in Arizona?
It holds up well here. Galvanized steel doesn’t warp, fade or rot the way wood does in this sun, and an open mesh lets wind pass through rather than taking the full load of a gust. It is also often a cost-conscious alternative to block or ornamental iron, which is why it’s common on larger lots, work yards and anywhere the job is containment rather than appearance.
Can chain link fence posts be installed in caliche soil?
Yes. Caliche is common in parts of Pinal County, and post holes in it can take longer to dig than they would in softer ground. We consider ground conditions during the site evaluation so it’s accounted for in the estimate.
Do I need a permit for a chain link fence?
That depends on your jurisdiction, the fence height and where it sits on the property, so check with your city or county before you build. In Casa Grande, the city code limits fences and walls in residential zones to six feet in height, with additional rules for front yards, side yards and corner lots. We’ll build to what applies to your property, but confirm specifics with the Casa Grande Development Center or your local building department.
Can you install gates with a chain link fence?
Yes. Walk gates for everyday access and wider drive gates for vehicles, trailers or equipment. Gate size and placement is worth deciding early, because the posts on either side of a gate carry more load than a line post.
Can you replace an existing chain link fence?
Yes, and it’s common work — rusted or damaged fabric, posts that have shifted, sagging top rail, or a fence that’s been hit. Sometimes a section can be repaired rather than replacing the whole run, and we’ll tell you which makes sense after looking at it.
What’s the difference between galvanized and coated chain link?
Galvanized is the standard silver finish—zinc-coated steel, which resists corrosion. Coated chain link adds a colored layer over the galvanizing, which some people prefer because a darker mesh visually recedes. Ask about the finish options available for your project.
