Chain Link Fence Installation in Little Rock and Central Arkansas

Chain link fence installation Little Rock property owners choose most often is the galvanized 4 ft or 6 ft residential build — durable, low-maintenance, and priced right. Premier Fence & Deck installs residential and light-commercial chain link across Little Rock, North Little Rock, Benton, Bryant, Conway, and Ward. It's one of the toughest fencing options for our climate, and when it's stretched and terminated correctly, it holds shape for decades.

​

Why chain link works well for Little Rock homes and businesses

Chain link doesn't rot, doesn't warp in Arkansas humidity, and doesn't need to be stained or sealed. Storms that flatten wood privacy fences usually leave chain link standing because wind passes through the mesh instead of pushing against a solid wall. That matters here — spring line storms out of the west can put 60+ mph gusts across an open yard.

​

It's also the right call for:

• Pet containment — a properly tensioned 4 ft or 5 ft fence keeps most dogs in without blocking airflow or sightlines

• Pool code compliance — many pool codes require a 4 ft minimum non-climbable barrier

• Commercial and industrial sites — warehouses, lots, and utility enclosures

• Ballfields, kennels, and dog runs

 

Materials and options

• Galvanized mesh — the standard silver look, 9-gauge or 11.5-gauge, in 4 ft, 5 ft, 6 ft, and taller heights

• Vinyl-coated (black or green) chain link — the mesh disappears against a tree line, and the PVC coating adds corrosion protection. Popular for backyards where owners want durability without the industrial look

• Post options — schedule 20 residential posts for typical homes, schedule 40 for commercial and high-wind exposure

• Top rail, tension wire, and privacy slats — we can add vertical slats for partial privacy or a bottom tension wire to keep dogs from pushing under

• Gates — single walk gates, double drive gates, and cantilever slide gates for commercial drives

We use commercial-grade tension bands, brace bands, and truss rods on corner and gate posts so the fence stays tight over time.

Little Rock permit note

Residential fences seven feet or shorter don't require a building permit in Little Rock. City code still limits fence height to 4 ft between the setback line and the street and 8 ft maximum elsewhere in residential zones. Pool barrier requirements are separate — we'll help you meet them.

Frequently asked questions

How long does a chain link fence last?
Galvanized chain link commonly lasts 20+ years in Arkansas. Vinyl-coated can go longer because the coating slows down corrosion.

Can you add privacy slats later?
Yes. Vertical PVC slats slide into the mesh and give roughly 75–90% privacy without replacing the fence.

Will chain link hold my dog?
For most dogs, yes. For diggers, we can add a bottom tension wire or bury the base. For climbers, we recommend 5 or 6 ft height with no top rail to grip.

Do you do repairs and add-ons?
Yes — new gates, replacement sections, re-stretching sagging mesh, and post replacement.
