Chain link is engineered to hold up against Florida’s environment while staying conveniently low-maintenance. It resists pests, requires little upkeep, and works equally well on suburban lots, urban properties, and large acreage. We’ve installed hundreds of custom chain link fences across the region, specializing in projects on difficult or uneven terrain, and we bring that experience to every job.
Our process starts with an on-site consultation where we walk through your fencing goals, followed by a detailed estimate for the project. Ask about our flexible financing options and warranty coverage when you reach out.
About Our Chain Link Fences
Chain link fencing enhances the safety and security of your property with a practical mix of strength, flexibility, and affordability. You can customize the height of your fence and the gauge of the chain link to match your project’s needs, add privacy slats or windscreen fabric, or top commercial fences with barbed or razor wire for properties that require additional protection.
It’s a versatile option for a wide range of properties. In Tampa and Ocala, chain link secures property boundaries with open sightlines, creates budget-friendly backyard spaces for kids and pets, and encloses commercial or municipal properties, sports facilities, and pools. It’s also a common choice for lift station fencing and other utility applications.
The open-weave design lets wind pass through freely, an advantage during Florida’s storm season. Galvanized and vinyl-coated finishes protect against rust and corrosion, which means less upkeep for you over the life of the fence, though chain link fence maintenance is minimal compared to other materials like wood fencing.
Low Maintenance. Long Lasting. Built for Florida.

Chain Link Fencing FAQs
How much does chain link fence installation cost in Tampa?
Chain link fencing typically runs $12 to $18 per linear foot installed, depending on fence height, mesh gauge, and gate configurations. Add-ons like privacy slats, windscreens, or razor or barbed wire also contribute to the final price. For an accurate quote based on your specific project, contact us for a free estimate.
How long does chain link fence installation take?
Chain link is one of the fastest fencing types to install, usually taking one to three days from the start date for a standard residential fencing project. Larger commercial sites or more complex fence design may take longer. Site access, terrain, and weather conditions can affect the timeline.
Is chain link fence good for Florida's climate?
Yes. Chain link holds up well in Florida's humid, rainy climate since it won't warp or rot, and its open-weave design lets strong winds pass through freely. Galvanized and vinyl-coated finishes resist rust, making it a smart choice for homeowners in Tampa Bay and Ocala, especially near coastal areas.
Do I need a permit for a chain link fence in Hillsborough County?
Commercial chain link fences require permitting through Hillsborough County Development Services. Residential fences typically don't need a permit, though exceptions apply for pool barriers, fences over standard height limits, and installations near utility easements or flood zones. Florida State Fence manages any required permitting for you to ensure a seamless project from start to finish.
Does Florida State Fence install chain link for commercial properties?
Yes. We install chain link fencing for commercial, industrial, and hospitality properties; schools, parks, and sports facilities; airports and transportation hubs; and utility and infrastructure sites throughout Central Florida.
Areas We Serve
We cover all of Central Florida through our Tampa and Ocala office locations.

I honestly do not know how I would’ve gotten through this fence experience with Lowe’s without Jamie Leonard aka the Fence Angel, she has seriously made the process as smooth as can be. We had a lot of communication problems with Lowe’s that Jamie kept working on so hard to fix it and to get my fence installed, before during and after. Everything I needed was taken cared of! It’s the straightest most beautiful fence I have ever had installed and they will be the company I have back to do the other side!
