Chain Link Fence that suits Metamora properties.
Chain link is the most cost-effective way to enclose a Metamora yard, and it's still the best choice when the goal is containment rather than privacy — dogs, kids, pools, equipment yards. Larger residential lots, small acreages, and homeowners who want a fence that looks intentional from the road. It also goes up fast, handles odd lot shapes without custom panels, and is the least expensive fence per foot we install.
How we build it here
We install galvanized and black vinyl-coated chain link in Metamora on schedule-40 terminal posts with proper tension bands, brace bands, and a top rail — not the light residential kit a big-box crew throws up. Silty clay loam with occasional gravel seams; corners get extra bracing on the steeper lots. Mesh is stretched with a come-along so it stays drum-tight, and we can add privacy slats or a bottom tension wire to keep dogs from pushing under.
Most chain-link yards are done in a single day.

“Tazewell County Fence Co. installed woven wire fencing around part of our property, along with a large equipment gate.

Chain Link Fence questions from Metamora homeowners.
- How much is chain link fence per foot in Metamora, IL?
- Installed chain link in Metamora typically runs $15–$28 per linear foot depending on height, gauge, and whether you choose galvanized or black vinyl-coated. A 150-ft backyard usually lands between $2,250 and $4,200.
- Is black chain link worth the upgrade?
- In most Metamora backyards, yes. Black vinyl-coated mesh visually disappears against grass and trees while galvanized silver stands out, and the coating adds a corrosion layer. It's usually a modest per-foot premium over galvanized.
- Can chain link keep my dog in?
- Yes, with the right details. We spec 4-ft or 5-ft height for most dogs, add a bottom tension wire so the mesh can't be pushed out, and set gate latches high enough that a smart dog can't work them. For diggers we can run a buried apron.
- Do I need a permit for chain link in Metamora?
- Metamora village permits are quick, but rear setbacks and drainage easements come up often.
