Chain Link Fence Installation Services
for Ocala, Gainesville, Citrus Springs, Wildwood, FL & Beyond

A chain link fence is the most economical way to secure your property, keep a pet in, and allow your children to play safely in your yard. Depending on your needs, your chain link fence can be anywhere from 4-6 feet tall, with 4-foot fences being the most common. Gates can be placed anywhere since our fencing company custom-welds all our gates. Even better, chain link fences can withstand extremely high-speed winds, making them perfect for the hurricane-prone communities of Citrus Springs, Gainesville, Ocala, and Wildwood, FL. In fact, they used to be called “hurricane fences” for this very reason!


However, chain link fences aren’t perfect for every application. While they are great for security, marking boundaries, and keeping children and pets contained, they offer almost no privacy. You can buy and install privacy slats to turn your chain link fence into a solid visual barrier, but this is cost- and labor-intensive. So, if privacy is your main concern, we recommend a wooden or vinyl fence.

Choosing a chain link fence from Rightway Fence comes with a range of benefits that make it a practical and reliable option for many property owners in Ocala, Gainesville, and surrounding areas:

  • Affordability: Chain link fences are one of the most cost-effective fencing options available, making them ideal for both residential and commercial properties.
  • Durability: Built to withstand Florida’s harsh weather, including high-speed winds and hurricanes, chain link fences are a long-lasting solution for securing your property.
  • Low Maintenance: Unlike wood or vinyl, chain link fences require minimal upkeep. A simple cleaning every now and then keeps them looking great.
  • Versatility: Whether you need to secure a backyard, playground, or commercial property, chain link fences can be customized to fit your specific needs.

Maintenance Tips

One of the reasons chain link fences are so popular is their low maintenance requirements. However, a little care can go a long way in extending the life of your fence:

  • Regular Cleaning: Use a garden hose or pressure washer to remove dirt, debris, and any buildup that may accumulate over time.
  • Rust Prevention: Inspect your fence periodically for signs of rust, especially in areas where the coating may have worn off. Apply a rust-resistant spray or paint as needed.
  • Weed Control: Keep the base of your fence clear of weeds and grass to prevent damage and maintain a clean appearance.
  • Gate Maintenance: Lubricate gate hinges and latches to ensure smooth operation and prevent squeaking or sticking.
  • Check for Damage: After storms or high winds, inspect your fence for any bent or damaged sections and schedule repairs promptly to maintain its integrity.
