Wilton Chain Link Fence Options

Built for Connecticut Weather

Our chain link fencing uses galvanized steel that resists rust and corrosion in Connecticut’s variable climate. Available in heights from 4 to 8 feet to match your security needs and local regulations.

We offer both residential and commercial grade materials. Residential applications typically use 11.5-gauge wire, while commercial projects get heavier 9-gauge construction for added durability.

Gate options include single walk-through gates, double drive-through gates, and specialty configurations for pool areas or equipment access. All hardware is galvanized to match the fence longevity. Privacy slats can be added for additional screening if desired.

How much does chain link fence installation cost in Wilton?

Chain link fence installation in Wilton typically costs between $15 to $30 per linear foot, depending on height, materials, and site conditions. A standard 4-foot residential fence runs about $18-22 per foot installed. The total project cost depends on your property’s perimeter and any gates needed. Most Wilton homeowners spend $2,500 to $6,000 for complete perimeter fencing on typical residential lots. We provide detailed estimates after evaluating your specific property. Rocky soil or steep grades may increase installation costs, while straight runs on level ground keep costs lower.

How long does chain link fence installation take?

Most residential chain link fence installations in Wilton take 1-2 days to complete. The timeline depends on the total linear footage, number of gates, and site conditions. We typically set posts on day one and install the mesh and gates on day two. Larger properties or complex layouts may require an additional day. Weather can affect the schedule, particularly if we encounter frozen ground in winter or heavy rain. We’ll communicate any delays immediately and work around your schedule to minimize disruption.

Do I need permits for chain link fence installation in Wilton?

Most chain link fence installations in Wilton require permits, especially for fences over 6 feet tall or those near property lines. We handle the permit application process as part of our service. Wilton has specific setback requirements and height restrictions that vary by zoning district. We’re familiar with these regulations and ensure your fence meets all local codes. The permit process typically takes 1-2 weeks. We don’t start installation until permits are approved to avoid any compliance issues that could delay your project.

What maintenance does chain link fencing require?

Chain link fencing requires minimal maintenance compared to other fencing types. The galvanized coating protects against rust for 15-20 years under normal conditions. Annual inspection for damage from fallen branches or vehicle contact is recommended. Any bent sections should be repaired promptly to maintain security and appearance. Occasional cleaning with soap and water removes dirt buildup. Avoid pressure washing at close range, which can damage the galvanized coating. Gate hinges benefit from annual lubrication to ensure smooth operation.

Can chain link fencing be installed on sloped terrain?

Yes, chain link fencing adapts well to sloped terrain common in Wilton properties. We use either stepped or raked installation methods depending on the grade severity. Stepped installation creates level fence sections that follow the slope in increments. Raked installation follows the ground contour for a smooth appearance on moderate slopes. Steep slopes may require additional posts or special hardware to maintain proper tension and stability. We evaluate your specific terrain during the site visit and recommend the best approach for your property.

What's the difference between residential and commercial chain link fencing?

Commercial chain link fencing uses heavier gauge wire and stronger posts to handle higher stress loads. Residential fencing typically uses 11.5-gauge wire, while commercial applications use 9-gauge for added durability. Commercial installations often include taller heights, barbed wire options, and heavy-duty gates designed for frequent use. The posts are set deeper with more concrete for stability. For most Wilton homes, residential grade provides adequate security and longevity. We recommend commercial grade for properties with high traffic, large dogs, or areas requiring maximum security.
