Chain link fence in Metro Detroit: what to expect

Chain link is the workhorse fence of Metro Detroit: durable, affordable to maintain and easy to repair one section at a time. It is common in backyards, along alleys, around vacant lots and for dog runs. Galvanized wire is the standard, while black or green vinyl-coated fabric blends into a yard better and resists rust longer.

The quality difference is in the framing. A proper install uses heavier terminal posts at ends, corners and gates, sets them in concrete below the frost line, runs a top rail or tension wire, and stretches the fabric tight so it does not sag. Privacy slats or windscreen can be added, but they catch wind, so post size matters. For repairs to an existing fence, see fence repair.

What a proper job includes

  • Measurement of the fence line and gate locations
  • A MISS DIG 811 ticket before digging
  • Terminal posts set in concrete at ends, corners and gates
  • Line posts spaced to the fabric and height
  • Top rail or tension wire and a bottom tension wire
  • Fabric stretched and tied at the proper spacing
  • Gates hung level with latches and drop rods for double gates

What drives the price

  • Linear footage, height and number of corners
  • Wire gauge and whether fabric is galvanized or vinyl-coated
  • Post and rail size, especially if slats or windscreen are added
  • Gate count and width
  • Tear-out and disposal of an old fence
  • Soil conditions, roots and buried debris along the line

Permits and licensing in Michigan

Michigan's residential code does not require a building permit for a fence up to 7 feet high, but that is not the end of it. Cities and townships regulate fences through zoning: height limits, front-yard rules, setbacks, corner visibility areas and sometimes materials. Some, including Detroit, require a fence permit (issued by BSEED in Detroit, with Historic District Commission review in local historic districts). Confirm with your municipality before posts go in, and check any HOA rules.

Michigan law requires notice to MISS DIG 811 at least three business days before digging, and post holes count. Paid residential work above a threshold set by state law requires a LARA license: a Residential Builder license, or a Maintenance & Alteration Contractor license in a trade that fits the work. Check the number on the LARA lookup.

How to compare quotes

  1. Compare quotes on the same height, wire gauge and coating.
  2. Ask what size terminal and line posts are included.
  3. Confirm who handles any fence permit and the MISS DIG 811 ticket.
  4. Check the license on the LARA lookup and ask for proof of insurance.
  5. Get the labor warranty and cleanup terms in writing.

Common questions

Chain Link Fence FAQ

It usually lasts longer than plain galvanized fabric and looks better in a residential yard. The coating also covers cut ends that would otherwise rust first.
Often yes, but slats add wind load. If you plan on slats, tell the installer up front so posts and footings are sized for it.
Sound posts can sometimes be kept and new fabric stretched on them. Bent, rusted or loose posts usually mean replacing the line.
A typical backyard is often done in a day or two once the utility locate is complete and materials are on site, though concrete footings need time to set before gates are stressed.
