Driving through the West End or older neighborhoods like the South Side, classic chain link fences are visible everywhere. There is a good reason for that. Around here, homeowners want something that can handle heavy wet snow, strong winds howling off the Yellowstone Valley, and the occasional impact from a stray rock thrown by a lawnmower. Chain link just takes a beating and keeps on standing.
Billings Fencing Company installs miles of this material every year in Billings, MT. The material is not flashy, but if you have dogs running around the backyard or need to clearly mark a property line on the Heights, the practicality is hard to beat.
Handling Billings Soil and Weather
Digging post holes in Billings, MT is difficult work. Between the rocky clay soils common in parts of Billings and deep Montana frost lines, shortcuts will cost you money. If your posts are not set deep enough into concrete, winter freeze-thaw cycles will push them right out of alignment.
- We auger past the frost line so your fence does not heave when spring thaw hits.
- We use heavy-gauge galvanized steel that resists rust from our changing seasonal moisture.
- We tension the mesh properly so it does not sag under winter snow drifts.
Choosing the Right Specification
Not all chain link is created equal. Big box store kits often use thin wire that bends if a dog leans against it or a heavy branch falls from a mature cottonwood. When Billings Fencing Company builds a chain link fence in Billings, MT, we look at what you are actually trying to contain. Commercial-grade framing and thicker gauge wire make a massive difference in how the fence handles ten years of Montana weather.
You can also go with black or green vinyl-coated chain link if you want it to blend into the background rather than flash in the summer sun. It adds a cleaner look against your landscaping and holds up just as well against the elements.
