Confirm the fence line, corners, and gate locations
We verify the exact fence path, corner points, and gate openings so the layout matches your property and access needs.
Mark post locations and plan transitions
We mark where posts will go and plan how the fence will handle slopes, turns, and tie-ins for a clean, continuous run.
Set terminal posts and verify alignment
Corner, end, and gate posts are set first and checked for plumb and placement—these anchor points keep the fence straight and stable.
Set line posts and install rails (as applicable)
We set the remaining posts at consistent spacing and add top rail or support components where needed for strength and a finished look.
Hang chain link fabric and tension it properly
(as applicable)
The chain link fabric is attached and tensioned so it sits tight, doesn’t sag, and maintains a clean line along the run.
Install gates and hardware, then adjust operation
We hang walk or drive gates, install latches and hinges, and fine-tune alignment so gates swing smoothly and latch securely.
Final cleanup + walkthrough
We clear the work area and do a final walkthrough to confirm alignment, tension, and gate function before calling the job complete.
Timeline

Chain Link Fence Installation FAQs
What’s the difference between wrought iron and aluminum fencing?
Both can look similar, but the best choice depends on your goals and budget. We can help you choose the right material and layout for your property and usage.
Can you install wrought iron fencing on sloped yards?
Yes. Slopes and transitions are handled during layout so the fence runs look clean and gates function properly.
Do I need HOA approval or a permit?
Some neighborhoods have rules for height and style. If you’re in an HOA, confirm requirements before installation so the project stays smooth.
What affects the cost of a wrought iron fence?
Length, height, gate count, slope/transitions, site conditions, and decorative options can impact pricing. We’ll break this down clearly in your quote.
Do you offer a workmanship guarantee?
We stand behind our workmanship. Ask during your quote and we’ll explain what’s covered for your specific project.
Does wrought iron rust?
Metal can rust if finishes are damaged over time. We’ll share basic care tips and what to watch for so your fence stays looking sharp.
Do you install walk gates and driveway gates?
Yes. We install walk gates and larger gates depending on access needs. Gate function is a major focus—alignment and latching matter.
How long does installation take?
Timeline depends on fence length, number of gates, site access, and design complexity. After the walkthrough, we’ll provide a realistic schedule.
Should I repair or replace an existing metal fence?
If posts are loose, panels are bent in multiple areas, or gates don’t align, replacement is often the better long-term choice. We’ll give you a straightforward recommendation.
