Professional Chain Link Fence Installation for Residential and Commercial Properties
At Equinox Fence, we install tough, long-lasting chain link fences for both homes and businesses in Boise and throughout the Treasure Valley, including nearby cities such as Eagle, Meridian, Kuna, Caldwell, Nampa, and even extending service to McCall.
Idaho’s weather demands durability. Our summers are hot, winters bring snow and freezing temperatures, and high winds can strain poorly built fences. Chain-link fencing is designed to handle this. The galvanized steel resists rust and corrosion, while its open-weave design allows wind to pass through without warping or snapping. With upgrade options like black vinyl coating, privacy slats, and custom gates, you can combine strength with a style that suits your property. Whether it’s a backyard in Boise’s North End, a business lot in South Boise, or a playground near Veterans Memorial Park, our fences are built to stand firm.
Our team isn’t just skilled—we care about every fence we build. That’s why we back our work with a 5-year craftsmanship warranty. When you choose Equinox Fence, you’re getting more than just a fence—you’re getting peace of mind.
Why Choose Chain Link Fencing from Equinox?
Not all chain link fences are created equal.
At Equinox Fence, we build chain link fences that last longer, look better, and perform better—because we care more about how they’re made.
Chain link is already a strong fencing option, but we take it a step further. Most companies use wooden posts that rot or snap over time. We use steel posts on every chain link fence, because we know that’s the first place most fences fail.
Combined with galvanized steel mesh and expert installation, your fence resists rust, weather, and stays strong for decades.
Chain link gives you clear property lines, pet and kid containment, and security—all without blocking the view. It’s one of the most affordable and practical fencing options available.
And if you need more privacy or protection? We offer custom heights, privacy slats, and barbed wire options for businesses, storage yards, or larger properties throughout Nampa, Meridian, and Caldwell.
From backyards and dog runs to commercial lots and sports fields, our chain link fences fit nearly every need. We can install chain link fencing in different heights, gauges, and coatings (like black vinyl), and even design custom gates or layouts for tricky terrain.
We’ve even created hybrid fences—mixing chain link with wood or steel frames—for customers who want something unique but still cost-effective.
Unlike wood fences that need yearly staining, chain link fences require almost no upkeep—just an occasional rinse with soap and water.
Built with precision and quality materials, they won’t sag, warp, or lean. Plus, our 5-year craftsmanship warranty and supplier material warranties keep you covered.

Our Chain Link Fence Installation Process
We’ll visit your property in Boise to walk the area, take measurements, and check the terrain. Whether you’re in the North End, West Bench, or South Boise, we’ll help you pick the right fence height, color (galvanized, black, green, brown), and any extra features like privacy slats, walk gates, or rolling gates.
We’ll also explain how steel posts can make your fence last longer—especially in Boise’s freeze-thaw winters and dry summers.
We provide a clear, detailed proposal that outlines the materials, project timeline, and total cost—with no hidden fees, ever. If your project requires permits, we handle the paperwork for you, saving you the hassle.
Before installation, we also call 811 for utility locates to mark underground lines, ensuring your fence is installed safely without disrupting power, water, or irrigation services.
Your fence will be installed by our trusted Equinox employees—never subcontractors. That means consistent, high-quality workmanship on every post, panel, and gate.
Every chain link fence we build in uses steel posts, which helps prevent leaning, sagging, or early failure (a common issue with wood posts). We also tension every fence properly, so it stays tight and secure.
Once your fence is complete, we’ll walk it with you step by step to make sure every detail meets your expectations. If anything needs adjusting, our crew will take care of it right away so you’re fully satisfied before the job is done.
We back our work with reliable guarantees, so you can feel confident your fence will hold up for years to come.
Chain Link Fence Styles that Fits Your Space
Galvanized Chain Link Fence
The classic silver chain link fence—strong, affordable, and rust-resistant thanks to its zinc coating. A great choice for schools in West Boise, parking lots Downtown, or large backyards in the Boise Bench where durability matters most.
Black Chain Link Fence
A sleek, modern option that blends with landscaping and architecture. The black coating improves appearance, adds weather protection, and is a popular choice for residential properties.
Green Chain Link Fence
With its forest green coating, this fence blends into trees and grass. Perfect for homes near Boise’s foothills, parks in Harris Ranch, or landscaped yards along Warm Springs Avenue.
Brown Chain Link Fence
With a warm, natural tone, this fence pairs well with wood decks, sheds, or barns. Often chosen in the Boise Bench and West Boise, it’s secure but has a softer, more natural look.
PVC Coated Chain Link Fence
Wrapped in thick plastic, this fence resists scratches, rust, and harsh weather. Smooth and extra tough, it’s built to handle snowy winters in the Highlands and hot summers in South Boise.
Polymer Coated Chain Link
This is a premium option with a special coating that won’t fade, crack, or peel—even in Boise’s changing seasons. It lasts longer and looks great for years.
Chain Link Fence With Privacy Slats
Plastic slats slide between the links to block views while keeping airflow. Available in different colors to give you more coverage while keeping the strength of chain link.
Chain Link with Decorative Slats
These slats don’t block as much view but add style and color to your fence. Popular in residential areas like the North End, where homeowners want a balance of privacy and airflow.
Commercial Security Fence
Built with thicker steel, heights up to 12 feet, and options like barbed wire or razor ribbon, this heavy-duty fence delivers maximum protection for industrial sites, storage yards, and other high-security areas.
Chain Link Perimeter Fence
Built for large properties, this fence clearly marks boundaries without blocking views. Available in different heights and gauges, it’s great for schools, parks, businesses, or big residential lots.
Custom Chain Link Fence
Need something unique? We can mix coatings, mesh sizes, posts, and features to design a fence tailored to your property.
Additional Chain Link Features and Customizations
Custom Gates
Adding the right gate makes your chain link fence much more practical for daily use. At Equinox Fence, we design both swing and sliding gates using heavy-duty hinges and latches built to withstand Boise’s freeze-thaw cycles and hot summers without sagging or sticking. Custom sizing ensures your gate fits your exact layout, whether it’s a small walkthrough gate for a North End backyard or a wide double gate for vehicle access on larger West Boise lots. A properly installed gate not only improves convenience but also extends the life of your fence by preventing uneven stress on the posts and mesh.

Maintenance Tips for
Your Chain Link Fence
Chain link fences are built to handle tough weather, but regular care can help them last even longer—often 20 to 30 years. In Boise, where summers can hit over 100°F and winters bring snow and ice, a little maintenance goes a long way.
Inspect a few times a year – Look for loose bolts, bent mesh, or early signs of rust. Boise’s freeze-thaw cycles in winter can loosen hardware.
Wash when needed – Hose down dirt, dust, and irrigation spray. Hard water from Treasure Valley sprinklers can leave buildup that speeds up corrosion.
Control plant growth – Trim back grass, vines, or shrubs. Roots and overgrowth can push against the mesh and weaken posts.
Repair small issues quickly – Fixing a minor bend or rust spot right away prevents larger sections from failing.
Check gate function – Make sure gates swing freely and latches close tight. Extra use in busy Boise neighborhoods or school yards can wear gates faster than the fence itself.

A well-built chain link fence in Boise can last 25–30 years, especially when installed with steel posts. Galvanized and vinyl-coated steel helps prevent rust from Boise’s snowy winters and hot, dry summers. With regular care, some fences last even longer.
Yes. HOAs in Boise often allow chain link fences, especially in backyards or utility areas. Some HOAs require black vinyl coating or limit fence height to match neighborhood appearance. Since each HOA has its own rules, it’s best to check your covenants first. At Equinox Fence, we’re familiar with HOA and Boise city standards and help you stay compliant.
Yes. Chain link fencing is built to handle harsh weather. The open weave allows wind to pass through, reducing pressure during storms, while galvanized steel posts keep the fence stable in heavy snow. Boise’s building code requires outdoor structures to withstand 90 mph wind loads and snow weights of 20–25 pounds per square foot. A properly installed chain link fence meets these standards, making it a durable choice for Boise’s foothill winds and freeze-thaw winters.
On average, Boise homeowners spend $15–$25 per linear foot for a standard residential chain link fence. The final price depends on the fence height, type of coating (such as black or green vinyl), and add-ons like privacy slats or custom gates. Commercial and industrial projects may require heavier-gauge steel, taller fencing, or security toppers, which can raise the cost. For a more accurate estimate tailored to your property, contact us for a free consultation.
Yes. Privacy slats, available in several colors, can be added to block views while still allowing airflow. For even more coverage, some Boise homeowners choose hybrid fences that combine wood or composite panels with chain link for a stronger barrier.
