Chain link fences require very little maintenance. Our professional-quality chain link fencing has been factory-treated to prevent rust and corrosion and can be further enhanced with protective colored vinyl coating. We recommend clearing debris away from the bottom of the fence and maybe a quick squirt of the hose every once in a while. Commercial chain link fencing requires almost no attention or maintenance.

The regulations and permit requirements for installing commercial chain link fences may vary depending on local building codes and zoning ordinances. In some areas, permits may be required based on fence height or location. It's important to check with the local authorities to ensure compliance with all necessary permits and regulations.

There are three primary differences between residential and commercial chain link fences.

First, residential-grade chain-link fence posts are made of tubing, while both commercial and industrial chain-link fence posts are pipe. For more on this, see the above answer about pipe and tubing.

Second, residential chain-link fence fabric is usually a higher gauge (smaller wire/larger diamond) wire, such as 11 1/2, 12, or 13 gauge, while commercial and industrial is either 9 or 11 1/2 gauge.

Third, a distinction can also be made in the method used to galvanize the wire. A residential fence is usually GBW, which means "galvanized before weaving." The problem with that process is that the wire scrapes together at each joint during the weaving process, which scrapes through some of the galvanized coating. Industrial and commercial grade fencing fabric is GAW, meaning "galvanized after weaving," which means the wire was hot-dipped in zinc after being woven into fence fabric. This process prevents rusting that the former process does not, which is why it carries a longer warranty than the former. It ensures long-term durability. Many residential fence installers are inexperienced and unfamiliar with basic commercial and industrial components, such as braces, truss rods, tension wire, barbed wire, drop rods, and box hinges.
