Can you install chain link fence on sloped property?

Yes, chain link fences work well on uneven terrain, but proper installation is crucial. The fence can follow your property’s natural slope or be stepped in level sections.For significant elevation changes, we often recommend stepping the fence in level sections rather than following the slope. This maintains proper fence height and ensures long-term structural integrity.Many Bridgeport properties have varying terrain, especially north of I-95. We’re experienced with these challenges and will recommend the best approach for your specific property conditions.

What's better—galvanized or vinyl-coated chain link?

Galvanized chain link is steel wire coated with zinc for rust resistance. It’s economical and provides excellent durability for most Bridgeport residential applications.Vinyl-coated chain link has an additional protective layer over the galvanized steel, available in black, green, or brown. This provides enhanced weather resistance and looks better than plain galvanized.For Bridgeport properties, especially those with harsh weather exposure, vinyl coating can extend fence life and reduce maintenance needs. We’ll recommend the best option based on your location and budget.
