Most fencing options force you to choose between what you can afford and what actually lasts. Chain link doesn’t make you pick.
You’re looking at $10 to $25 per linear foot for a fence that handles humidity, salt air, and storm winds without constant upkeep. The open-weave design lets wind pass through instead of turning your fence into a sail during hurricane season. That matters when you’re renting in a high-density area like Airport North, where 88% of residents rent and most properties are apartments or complexes.
Galvanized or vinyl-coated finishes resist rust for 20+ years. You hose it down occasionally, maybe scrub it once a year with soap and water. That’s it. No staining, no repainting, no replacing rotted boards every few years like you would with wood.
If privacy is your concern, slats reduce visibility by 90-98%. You get the durability of chain link with the privacy of a solid fence.
We started Mossy Oak Fence LLC in Atlanta in 1992. After 12 years building custom residential fences, we moved to Florida and saw a gap in the market: too many unlicensed contractors offering cheap materials and unreliable timelines.
We’re licensed, bonded, and insured in Florida. That’s not standard in this industry, but it should be. We’ve installed fences across Lake, Orange, Seminole, Brevard, Volusia, Osceola, Polk, Sumter, and Marion counties. We’ve worked through enough hurricane seasons to know what holds up and what doesn’t.
Airport North has a unique housing market. With over 81% of real estate classified as apartment complexes or high-rises, most of our clients here are renters looking to secure a yard or patio space, or property managers protecting communal areas. We understand the rental timeline pressures and work fast without cutting corners.
You call or submit a request. We schedule a site visit to measure your space, discuss height options (4′, 5′, or 6′ are standard and in stock), and talk through any customization like privacy slats or gate placement.
We give you transparent pricing with no hidden fees. You’ll know exactly what you’re paying per linear foot and what’s included in labor and materials. Most chain link fence installation projects in Airport North, FL take 1-3 days depending on the size and complexity of your property layout.
Our crew shows up on time with the materials already sourced. We set posts, stretch and secure the mesh, install gates, and walk you through the finished fence. You approve the work before we leave.
If you’re renting, we can coordinate with property managers to ensure the installation fits lease terms and doesn’t disrupt other tenants. If you’re a property owner, we make sure the fence adds value without creating maintenance burdens down the road.

Every chain link fence we install uses galvanized or vinyl-coated materials engineered to resist rust and corrosion. Florida’s humidity and salt air destroy cheap fencing in a few years. We don’t use cheap fencing.
You choose your height based on what you’re enclosing. A 4-foot fence works for most yards and pet containment. A 6-foot fence gives you more security and privacy, especially with slats added. We stock all three standard heights so installation moves faster.
Gates are included in your quote. We install them with the same rust-resistant hardware as the rest of the fence, and they’re built to swing smoothly for years without sagging.
In Airport North, where the median home value is around $256,000 and most residents rent, you’re often working within a budget. Chain link costs 20-30% less than wood fencing and lasts just as long with far less maintenance. For a 150-foot perimeter, you’re looking at $1,500 to $6,000 total depending on height and add-ons. That’s a fraction of what you’d pay for vinyl or wood, and it performs better in storms.
Most residential chain link installations take 1-3 days from start to finish. The timeline depends on how much fencing you need and whether your property has any obstacles like slopes, trees, or existing structures we need to work around.
We don’t drag projects out. Our crew shows up with materials already sourced and a clear plan for your property. For a standard backyard enclosure (around 150 linear feet), expect us to complete the job in a day or two.
If you’re renting in one of Airport North’s apartment complexes and need a smaller section of fencing for a patio or yard space, we can often finish in a single day. Larger commercial projects or properties with multiple gates and custom configurations might take closer to three days, but we’ll give you an accurate timeline upfront so you can plan accordingly.
Yes. Chain link is one of the best fencing options for hurricane-prone areas because of its open-weave design. Wind passes through the mesh instead of hitting a solid surface, which means less pressure on the posts and far less chance of the fence collapsing or blowing over.
Solid fences like wood or vinyl act like sails in high winds. They catch the wind and either rip out of the ground or break apart. Chain link doesn’t have that problem. As long as it’s installed correctly with posts set deep enough and concrete footings, it stays put.
We use galvanized or vinyl-coated materials that resist rust and corrosion, even when exposed to salt air and constant moisture. After a storm, you might need to hose off debris, but the fence itself will still be standing. That’s why so many Florida homeowners and property managers choose chain link for long-term durability in coastal and storm-heavy areas like Airport North.
Absolutely. Privacy slats are the most common solution. These are durable strips that weave into the chain link mesh and block 90-98% of visibility. You get the strength and affordability of chain link with the privacy of a solid fence.
Slats come in different colors, so you can match your property’s look or go with a neutral tone. They hold up well in Florida weather and don’t require special maintenance beyond the occasional rinse.
Another option is planting shrubs or vines along the fence line, though that takes time to grow in. Slats give you immediate privacy without waiting for landscaping to mature. If you’re renting in Airport North and need privacy now, slats are the faster, more practical choice. We can install them during the initial fence installation or add them later if you decide you want more privacy down the road.
You’re looking at $10 to $25 per linear foot depending on the height and whether you add features like privacy slats or extra gates. For a typical 150-foot residential perimeter, expect to pay between $1,500 and $6,000 total.
Height affects cost. A 4-foot fence is the most affordable option and works well for pet containment and basic property boundaries. A 6-foot fence costs more but gives you better security and privacy, especially if you add slats.
Material quality also matters. Vinyl-coated chain link costs a bit more than galvanized, but it lasts longer and looks cleaner. We only use rust-resistant materials built for Florida’s climate, so you’re not replacing the fence in five years because it corroded.
Labor is included in our pricing, and we don’t surprise you with hidden fees. You’ll get a clear quote before we start, and that’s what you’ll pay. Compared to wood fencing, which runs 20-30% higher and requires constant maintenance, chain link is the smarter long-term investment for most Airport North properties.
It depends on your property and the fence height. Most residential chain link fences under 6 feet don’t require a permit in Florida, but local regulations in Airport North and the surrounding area can vary. If you’re in a planned community or rental complex, you may also need approval from your HOA or property manager.
We handle permit research and applications as part of our service. You don’t need to call the city or figure out zoning rules on your own. We’ve been installing fences in Central Florida for decades, so we know what’s required and how to move through the approval process quickly.
If you’re renting, we recommend checking your lease agreement before moving forward. Some landlords allow tenants to install fencing as long as it’s removed when you move out, while others require written approval first. We can work with your property manager to make sure everything is documented and compliant. The last thing you want is to install a fence and then deal with lease violations or removal costs later.
Maintenance is minimal. Hose it down a few times a year to remove dirt, pollen, and salt buildup. If you’re near the coast or in an area with heavy pollen like Airport North, you might want to rinse it more often just to keep it looking clean.
For stubborn grime or algae, use a mild soap-and-water solution with a soft brush. Scrub the affected areas and rinse thoroughly. That’s usually enough to keep the fence looking good for years.
Check the gates and hinges once or twice a year. Tighten any loose bolts and make sure the gate swings smoothly. If you notice rust starting to form on older galvanized fencing, you can treat it with a rust inhibitor, but that’s rare with the vinyl-coated options we install. Most of our clients never deal with rust issues because the materials are built to resist corrosion in Florida’s humid, salty environment. Proper installation and quality materials mean you’re spending almost no time or money on upkeep.
