Chain Link Fence Lubbock TX - Galvanized & Black Vinyl
Chain link is still the fastest, toughest way to fence a big Lubbock backyard, a garden or a side yard on a budget. It doesn't need stain, it lets wind straight through, and a well-stretched run stays tight for years. It's an approved residential fence material in the City of Lubbock, though not in every town around it.
- On-site measuring before any price
- Every part of the job itemized on paper
- Homes, acreage and commercial lots
- Built to Lubbock's fence rules from day one
Chain Link Options
Black Vinyl-Coated Chain Link
Black coating on the wire, posts and rails makes the fence fade into the yard. It's the version we'd pick for anything visible from the house.
Privacy Slats and Windscreen
Slats woven into the mesh add screening. Be aware that slats turn an open fence into a partly solid one, so they change the wind load, and posts should be sized for it.
Walk and Drive Gates
Single walk gates for mowers and double drive gates for trailers, hung on heavier gate posts than the line.
What Makes Chain Link Last Here
ASTM F567 is the industry practice for installing chain link fence: post setting, bracing, rails, tension wire, fabric and gates. Most of the strength sits at the terminal posts, the corners, ends and gate posts, because they carry the stretch of the whole run. We set those deeper and brace them. In caliche, that can mean drilling instead of digging. Bottom tension wire keeps the mesh from curling up after wind has scoured the soil along the line.
Lubbock vs. Wolfforth Rules
Inside Lubbock city limits, chainlink is on the approved list for homes. In Wolfforth, it's the opposite: the City of Wolfforth's zoning code lists chainlink among prohibited residential fence materials unless the fence is tied to permitted livestock. If your address is in Wolfforth, see our Wolfforth fence page. On commercial lots in Lubbock, chain link is limited too; industrial districts are the exception, covered on our commercial and security fence page.
National Price Context
HomeGuide puts chain link at $10 to $40 per linear foot installed nationally. Height, coating, slats and gates move the number; your quote lists each.
