There’s no better way to protect your property than with a sturdy, reliable chain link fence from Big Easy Contractors in New Orleans. Whether you’re a homeowner looking to secure your backyard or a business owner protecting a commercial site, chain link fencing delivers strength, visibility, and lasting value at a price point that works.
Chain link fences are one of the most versatile fencing options available for both residential and commercial properties in the Greater New Orleans area. They handle our humid subtropical climate, stand up to hurricane-season winds, and require almost no maintenance year after year. Big Easy Contractors has been installing chain link fences across Orleans Parish for years, and we build every project to last.
For New Orleans homeowners, chain link fencing solves real problems without breaking the budget:
Businesses and organizations across New Orleans rely on chain link for its combination of security, durability, and cost efficiency:
Not all chain link is created equal. The right specs depend on your application, and Big Easy Contractors will help you choose the combination that fits your needs and budget.
Residential chain link typically runs 4 to 6 feet tall. A 4-foot fence works for property lines and garden borders, while 6 feet provides better security and meets pool code. Commercial applications often call for 6 to 10 feet, with taller heights used for security-sensitive sites, construction perimeters, and athletic facilities.
Wire gauge determines the thickness and strength of the mesh. Residential fences typically use 11 to 11.5 gauge wire, which handles normal use well. Commercial and industrial projects use 9 gauge (the thickest standard option) for maximum durability and resistance to cutting or forced entry.
This choice matters especially in New Orleans, where humidity and salt air accelerate corrosion:
Chain link remains one of the most affordable fencing options per linear foot. Here’s what drives the final price:
For a typical residential backyard (150-200 linear feet), total installed cost generally falls between $3,500 and $7,000. Commercial projects vary widely based on scope, height, and security features.
Chain link fencing holds a major advantage in our climate. Unlike solid fences that catch wind like a sail, chain link’s open mesh lets hurricane-force gusts pass through rather than pushing the fence over. This means less storm damage, fewer repairs after each season, and a fence that stays standing when it matters most.
The galvanized and vinyl-coated options both resist the rust that New Orleans’ constant humidity would cause on untreated metal. And because chain link doesn’t absorb moisture like wood, you’ll never deal with rot, warping, or termite damage.
Big Easy Contractors installs chain link fences for homes, businesses, and job sites throughout New Orleans. Whether you need a simple backyard fence or a full commercial security perimeter, our team will walk your property, discuss your needs, and provide an honest estimate with no surprises.
