Chain Link Fence Installation
Chain link fencing is a smart fit when you want a dependable boundary without blocking visibility. For homes, facilities, and active lots, it creates a clear perimeter that still lets you see what is happening on both sides.
Along the I-405 corridor, Bellevue properties often deal with wet soil pockets, tight side yards, and busy access points where a rushed fence layout shows quickly. We plan chain link runs so corners stay square, gates swing cleanly, and the fabric stays tight after the first heavy rain cycle.
Chain link works best when the install is treated like a tension system, not a set of posts and panels. Post depth, terminal placement, and stretch control decide whether the fence stays straight or starts to sag over time.
What We Lock In Before We Build
Decision 1: Terminal Strength
End posts and corners carry the load. We size and set terminals so the fabric stays tight, especially on longer runs common near the I-405 corridor.
Decision 2: Gate Function
Walk gates and drive gates need real clearance. We place hinges and latches based on daily paths, vehicle turns, and where the ground stays firm.
Bellevue Risk Disclosure
Low spots can hold water and soften soil. Near the I-405 corridor, that can tilt posts if footing planning is skipped, even when the fence looks fine on day one.
How Bellevue Customers Describe The Result
Mason K.
We needed a clean perimeter that still lets us see the yard. The fence is tight, straight, and the gate lines up perfectly.
Tara W.
Our lot near the I-405 corridor stays wet in winter. They explained the plan, set the posts right, and the fence has stayed solid.
Anthony P.
Fast, organized, and the layout makes sense for how we use the property. No sagging and the corners look sharp.

Common Chain Link Builds We Install
- Backyard boundaries that keep sightlines open
- Pet and play area enclosures with safe gate access
- Perimeter fencing for lots that need clear visibility
- Drive gates and walk gates sized for daily use
- Optional privacy slats when you want more screening
If you want more privacy without switching fence types, slats can help, but they also add wind load. On I-405 corridor lots where gusts funnel between buildings, we plan terminals and bracing to match the added load.
FAQs For Chain Link Fencing
Is chain link fencing strong enough for real security?
Yes. Strength comes from correct terminals, tight fabric, and stable posts. We build it to stay tight and upright through wet months.
Can you add gates for walk access and vehicle access?
Yes. We install walk gates and larger openings, and we place them where the swing and clearance will work every day.
What causes chain link fences to sag later?
Loose terminals, shallow posts, and weak tension control are common causes. We set terminals correctly and tension the fabric as a system.
Comparison Resolution That Helps You Choose
If your top goal is a clear boundary with visibility and low upkeep, chain link is usually the right answer. If your top goal is blocking sightlines, chain link can still work with slats, but the plan must account for added wind load, especially along the I-405 corridor. We help you pick the right build so the fence stays tight, functional, and stable after the weather tests it.
