Chain link earns its keep on Eastside lots that back up to a greenbelt, where a solid fence would trap wet leaves and block the light a north-facing yard already fights for. It holds a firm line and still lets air move through, which is why you see it around Redmond pet runs, Bellevue sport courts, and Kenmore side yards.
Our in-house crews install every job, no subcontractors, and back the work with a 3-year workmanship warranty. Want privacy later? We weave slats through the existing mesh, so you can screen a play area or trash enclosure without replacing the fence.
We install two setups, each tuned to the property it protects. One is built for the way a household uses a yard, the other for the daily wear a business perimeter takes.
For larger security perimeters, access control, and operator-ready gates, our commercial fencing page covers the full commercial scope.
Three finishes cover most Greater Seattle yards and lots, from a see-through back run to a screened pool enclosure. The right one depends on where the fence sits and how much of the view you want to keep, so here is how they line up.
Galvanized, black, or slatted, every setup gets the same concrete-set posts and tensioned mesh. Send Contour Fence your measurements for a free quote built around the finish you pick.
We start by walking the line with you, marking corners, and calling utility locates before any post hole is dug. From there the build runs in a set order, and our Kirkland-based crew keeps the site clean start to finish.
We dig, plumb, and concrete the terminal, corner, and line posts, spacing them for the run and for the glacial-till soil that holds water across much of the Eastside.
Once the footings cure, the top rail and tension bars go on. This gives the mesh a square, stiff frame to pull against, and it is the step a rushed crew skips.
We hang the chain link and tension it across the full line, then tie it off at each post. Done right, there is no sag between posts and no loose section for a dog to push under.
Walk and rolling gates are set last, squared to the opening and hung on braced posts. We check each for smooth swing and a latch that lands clean after months of use.

We are based in Kirkland, so a chain link fence installation near you usually means a short drive for our crew and a fast start date for you. Chain link is one of several options in our full fence installation lineup.
After 41-plus years in this market, we know the soil that holds water, the slopes that need stepped runs, and which permit desk to call for your address.
A quote reads easier once you know the parts. Each piece does one job, and when one is undersized, the whole line pays for it.
Cheap installs fail in a season. Skip the concrete or under-tension the mesh, and the line sags, worse on winter ground that heaves a shallow post. Set the posts deep, cure the footings, and pull the tension right, and the fence stays square for decades. It is why two chain link quotes for the same yard rarely describe the same fence.
Height depends on the job and the address, and here the address matters more than people expect.
Codes change and vary by parcel, so confirm current rules with your city before you build. We check the requirement for your address during the estimate, so nothing has to come down after.
The gate is the part you touch every day, so it takes the most wear. We build it into the plan from the start, because a gate added as an afterthought is where sag and a sticky latch begin.
Every gate is squared to its opening and hung on braced posts set deeper than the line posts, since a gate post carries weight a line post never sees. We fit a latch that lands clean, and on commercial jobs, hardware built for constant use.
Building the gate and fence together means one matched height, one finish, and one company behind the whole job.
Chain link's openness is the point, until it isn't. Slats weave vertically through the existing mesh, turning a see-through run into a solid screen without replacing anything you have already paid for.
A chain link fence with privacy slats gives you screening on your schedule, not a full rebuild. See our recent projects for how slatted and open runs look once installed.

A properly installed galvanized or vinyl-coated chain link fence holds up for decades here. The zinc or vinyl coating resists the rust our wet winters would otherwise cause, and there is no wood to rot or gray.
Depth depends on height, soil, and whether it is a line or gate post. Gate and terminal posts go deeper and always get concrete. On the water-holding soil common across the Eastside, proper depth is what keeps a post from heaving. We set it to your run and ground.
Often a standard residential fence does not, but it depends on height and your city. Seattle allows up to 6 feet with no permit; Kirkland generally allows 6 feet and requires one above that. We check the rule for your address during the estimate.
Galvanized is the lower-cost, bright silver option, best for back lots, pet runs, and side yards where looks matter less. Black vinyl-coated costs a little more and recedes into landscaping, so it suits front and street-facing lines. Both use the same steel mesh and hold up the same way in our climate.
Yes. Slats weave into the existing mesh, so you can add screening later without replacing the fence. They come in several colors to match the yard.
Most residential runs go in within a few days, depending on footage, gates, and how the concrete cures. We give you a firm start and finish window during the estimate, and our in-house crew handles the whole job.
Yes. The mesh follows grade changes, so the fence tracks your boundary even where the ground rises or dips. We adjust post spacing and mesh to keep the line consistent.
Yes. Contour Fence backs every install with a 3-year workmanship warranty, and our in-house crew handles the job start to finish, so there is one company to call if anything needs adjusting.
