Chain link is the lowest cost per foot and goes up fast, which makes it the usual choice for keeping dogs in, fencing long side yards and securing vacant lots. Black vinyl-coated chain link looks far better than bare galvanized for a small difference in price.

- Galvanized or black vinyl-coated
- Privacy slats available

What makes Houston fences different
Clay soil that moves
Much of the area sits on expansive clay that swells when wet and shrinks in drought. Post depth, concrete and steel posts make the difference.
Storm season
Hurricanes and tropical storms bring wind that flattens weak fences. After Hurricane Beryl in 2024 many homeowners waited weeks for repairs.
Humidity and termites
Wet air and termites shorten the life of untreated wood. Sealed cedar, vinyl and aluminum last longer.
HOAs and deed restrictions
With no city zoning, fence rules in Houston usually come from HOAs and deed restrictions. Check them before you build.
