PVC-Coated Chain Link Fences

Chain Link Fence FAQs
Do I need a permit to install a chain link fence in Arkansas?
Yes — most cities in Northwest Arkansas require a permit before fence installation. Requirements vary by city. Thomas Fence is happy to help you understand the process, but pulling the permit is the homeowner's or property owner's responsibility. Visit your city's building department for specifics, or see our Fence Permits page for links to local permit offices.
Does Thomas Fence pull permits?
No — permits are the customer's responsibility. However, our team is happy to answer questions and help guide you through the process so nothing gets missed before installation begins.
How long does it take to install a chain link fence?
Most residential chain link fence installations take 2 to 3 business days. Larger commercial or industrial projects may take longer. Once the contract is signed, we typically schedule your project within 1 to 3 weeks.
What gauges of chain link do you install?
We install a full range of chain link gauges depending on your application. Standard residential installations typically use 11-gauge or 11.5-gauge fabric. Commercial and industrial applications call for heavier 9-gauge fabric and larger posts. Our estimators will recommend the right spec for your project.
Does Thomas Fence use concrete for chain link posts?
Yes. All posts are set in concrete as standard practice, unless otherwise agreed upon in the contract. Concrete footings ensure long-term stability and are especially important in Arkansas's clay-heavy soils.
Is a deposit required for a chain link fence installation?
No deposit is required for standard chain link fence installations. A deposit may be required for special-order materials or custom fabrication. Your estimator will confirm terms when reviewing your project.
Does Thomas Fence offer financing for chain link fence projects?
Yes. Thomas Fence offers financing through Hearth with loan amounts up to $250,000. Apply online or ask your sales representative for a QR code. Checking your rate does not impact your credit score. See our Financing page for details.
What is the difference between galvanized and vinyl-coated chain link?
Galvanized chain link has a zinc coating that resists rust — it is the standard, cost-effective option for most applications. Vinyl-coated chain link adds a PVC layer in black, green, or other colors for a finished appearance and added corrosion resistance. Both are durable; vinyl-coated is more common where appearance matters or in coastal or high-moisture environments.
Can chain link fence be made private?
Yes. Privacy slats can be woven through the chain link fabric to block sightlines. This is a cost-effective alternative to a full privacy fence. Slats are available in several colors and can be added at installation or retrofitted to an existing chain link fence.
Is chain link fence appropriate for commercial properties?
Yes — chain link is one of the most common choices for commercial and industrial perimeters because of its durability, low maintenance, and cost-effectiveness. Thomas Fence installs commercial-grade chain link for warehouses, distribution centers, schools, and government facilities across Northwest Arkansas.
