Why Chain Link Fencing Is a Smart Choice

Chain link is one of the most versatile and cost-effective fence materials for residential and commercial applications. It offers open sightlines while creating a firm boundary that holds up against Iowa's freeze-thaw cycles and summer storms. Galvanized and vinyl-coated options resist rust and corrosion, making them a practical long-term investment.



Common applications we handle across the Ankeny area include backyard pet and child containment in subdivisions throughout Ankeny, Polk City, and Bondurant; commercial perimeter security for warehouses and industrial sites near the US-69 corridor; pool enclosures; school grounds and athletic fields; and dog kennels, daycares, and hotels where we have an established track record of commercial installation.

What Gauge Chain Link Fence Is Best for Security?

A lower gauge number means thicker, stronger wire. For most residential backyards in Ankeny, 11-gauge or 11.5-gauge fabric offers solid performance and value. For higher-security commercial applications, 9-gauge is often recommended. Heights typically range from 4 feet for residential front yards to 8 feet or more for commercial perimeters.



Specification choices we guide clients through include gauge options from 9-gauge heavy commercial to 11.5-gauge standard residential; heights from 4 feet to 6 feet and above; galvanized steel for corrosion resistance; vinyl-coated options in black, green, or brown for a finished residential look; and swing or double drive gate styles sized to match your fence system.

Ankeny Permit Requirements for Chain Link Fences


A building permit is required in Ankeny before any fence is erected, altered, or relocated. Front yard chain link is limited to 48 inches. Backyards can accommodate taller fencing, though the top two feet of any fence over 96 inches must be at least 70 percent open. Corner lot owners face additional setback considerations. We walk you through these regulations during your free estimate. Always confirm current rules with the Ankeny Community Planning and Building Department before breaking ground.
