Chain-Link Fence — what we stock
Chain-link is Canada's workhorse perimeter fence. The diamond-mesh weave with top-rail and tension wire is structurally efficient — strong against lateral loads, transparent enough to retain sightlines, and the cheapest installed linear foot in our 20-category catalog. Fenced.ca stocks galvanized (Class 1 for short-life and rental applications, Class 2C for permanent commercial installs) and vinyl-coated in black, dark green, and brown. Heights start at 3′ for residential yard and dog-run, run through the 6′ commercial standard, and reach 8′ to 12′ for school grounds, industrial yards, and high-security perimeters.
Gauge selection follows use: 9 gauge (heavier wire) for commercial; 11 gauge for general residential; 11.5 gauge for cost-sensitive temporary. Mesh sizes are typically 2″ for residential and 1-3/4″ for school and ball-field where smaller mesh prevents foothold climbing. Top rail is 1-5/8″ to 2″ galvanized tube. Posts run 1-5/8″ line, 2-3/8″ end/corner/gate for residential, and 3″ schedule-40 line + 4″ end on commercial 8′ work.
Engineering: posts must be set below frost depth — see your city page. Concrete footings are 8″–12″ diameter, with the post pre-set on a 4″ gravel drainage base. Tension wire and brace bands prevent sag between line posts at 8′–10′ centres. Fenced.ca supplies the wire by the roll or full-pallet, mill-test-certified, with all accessories (rail-end caps, brace bands, tension bars, gate hardware) in single-source bundles.
Installation notes: Posts are set in concrete footings 1.2 m deep in most Ontario, Quebec, and Maritime markets — deeper in the Prairies and northern BC where frost penetrates 1.5–2.4 m. Top rails are 1¼-inch galvanized SS40 with drive-fit caps. Mesh is hog-ringed every 600 mm on the tension band, then tensioned with a come-along to manufacturer torque specs.
Regional variants: Coastal BC uses PVC-coated black mesh for salt-air protection (Class 2C galvanized base + PVC top coat = 30-year service). Alberta oilfield perimeters use 9-gauge mesh with barbed-wire toppers. Quebec municipal grounds standardize on forest-green PVC to blend with parks. Atlantic Canada specs Class 2C for the harshest salt corrosion.
Pricing & lead time: Supply-only chain-link runs $15–25 per linear foot for 1.8 m residential vinyl-coated, $25–40 LF for 2.4 m commercial Class 1 galvanized, and $40–65 LF for 3.6 m security-grade with privacy slats. Installed adds $25–35 LF depending on terrain and post depth. Quotes returned in 24 hours for residential, 48 hours for commercial CCDC-2 tenders. In-stock SKUs ship next-day from our Toronto, Montreal, Calgary, and Vancouver dispatch hub; custom heights or vinyl colours take 5–10 business days.
