Chain link is still the most practical fence for keeping dogs in, marking a property line, or securing a yard, garden, or commercial lot without blowing the budget. Wausau Fence Company installs residential and light-commercial chain link throughout Wausau and Marathon County, built to stay straight and tight through Wisconsin winters.

Galvanized or Black Vinyl-Coated?
Galvanized chain link is the classic silver fence: the most affordable option, long-lasting, and ideal for pet runs, property lines, and commercial security.
Black vinyl-coated chain link costs a bit more but blends into lawns and landscaping, so it’s become the go-to choice for backyards and front yards where looks matter. The coating also adds a layer of protection against rust. We install both, along with matching black posts, rails, and gates.
Built for Marathon County Winters
Frost heave is the number one reason chain link fences lean, sag, and pull apart in central Wisconsin. Every terminal and line post we install is set in concrete below frost depth, and we tension the fabric properly so it stays tight season after season instead of drooping after the first thaw.
Common Uses
- Backyard dog and pet containment
- Pool enclosures that meet code (with self-closing gates)
- Garden, property-line, and side-yard fencing
- Commercial and light-industrial security fencing
- Sports courts, kennels, and equipment yards
Heights We Install
Most residential chain link in the Wausau area is 4 to 6 feet tall. A 4-foot fence works for most dogs and front yards; 5 to 6 feet suits larger dogs, pools, and security. We’ll recommend the right height for your property and check local height and setback rules before we build.

Chain Link Fence FAQs
How much does a chain link fence cost in Wausau?
Price depends on the length of the fence, the height, galvanized vs. black vinyl-coated fabric, how many gates you need, and your ground conditions. Chain link is usually the most affordable fence type we install. We’ll walk your property and give you a straightforward written quote, with no surprises.
How long does installation take?
Most residential chain link fences are installed in one to two days once materials arrive. We’ll give you a timeline with your quote.
Can you install chain link in the winter?
Frozen ground makes setting posts harder, so most installs happen spring through fall. Winter is a good time to get your estimate and book a spot for spring.
Do I need a permit for a fence in Wausau?
Rules vary by municipality. We’ll check the requirements for your property in Wausau, Weston, Schofield, or wherever you live before we build.
Do you repair chain link fences too?
Yes. We fix bent posts, sagging fabric, damaged top rails, and broken gates. See chain link fence repair.
