Q. What are the benefits of chain link fencing?
A. Chain link fencing is known for its strength, longevity, and affordability. It’s ideal for residential, commercial, and industrial properties. Black chain link fences add an extra modern and sleek look. With proper maintenance, a chain link fence can last 20+ years, making it a smart investment.
Q. What mesh do you use?
A. We offer vinyl-coated chain link fences in black, 9 gauge mesh as it offers the best strength and quality for our customers.
Q. How much does a chain link fence cost in Ottawa?
A. The cost of chain link fence per foot in Ottawa varies depending on height, coating, and length. On average, the chain link fence cost Ottawa ranges from $25–$45 per foot. The price per foot chain link fence may be slightly higher for black vinyl-coated options, but the added durability and aesthetics make it worthwhile.
Q. How long does chain link fence installation take?
A. On average, chain-link fences are installed within 2–3 days. Larger or more complex projects may require up to one week, depending on site conditions and layout.

Q. How do you install posts?
A. We use our signature No Dig – No Mess method.

No concrete
No dirt piles

Faster, cleaner installation that lasts for decades
Q. What posts do you use?
A. For chain-link fences, we use driven galvanized steel posts to ensure strength and long-term durability.
Standard Warranty, up to 6-Years (Free)
• Schedule 20 steel pipes
• Driven 3.5–4 feet deep
Extended Warranty, up to 25-Years ($)
• Schedule 40 steel pipes
• Driven 4–5 feet deep
Schedule 40 posts are heavy-duty 2⅜″ galvanized steel posts with a 4 mm wall thickness—the same type commonly used in commercial fencing. These round steel posts are designed to withstand Ottawa’s winter conditions and provide exceptional strength and durability for decades.
Q. Can chain-link fencing be installed on uneven or sloped ground?
A. Yes. Chain-link fencing is highly flexible and works well on slopes, hills, and uneven terrain. Our installers can step the fence or tension the mesh to follow the natural contours of your property, ensuring a secure, level, and professional finish.
Q. When is the best time to install a chain-link fence?
A. Chain-link fences can be installed any time of year. At Commence Fence, we use a No-Dig Fence System with PostMaster steel posts driven 4–5 feet deep, below Ontario’s frost line. This approach eliminates digging and concrete, allowing for clean, reliable installations in all seasons while delivering exceptional strength and long-term stability.
Q. What privacy options are available for chain-link fencing?
A. Chain-link fences can be enhanced with several privacy solutions. Vinyl privacy slats slide vertically into the mesh for a durable, uniform appearance. Privacy screens or fabric panels can be attached directly to the fence for full coverage. Hedges or shrubs planted along the fence line offer a natural privacy barrier. These options can be mixed or customized to match your desired level of privacy and style.
Q. Can a fence be built on the property line?
A. In Ottawa, a fence can be installed directly on the property line only with your neighbour’s agreement to share ownership and costs. If consent isn’t provided, the fence must be built entirely on your property—typically with a small setback of about 2 inches to prevent encroachment. Building on the line involves shared responsibility and decisions about height and colour, while building inside your boundary gives you full control and ownership. Always check local bylaws and property surveys before starting construction.
