Yes — buy exactly what you need. As a full chain link fence distributor we stock every part individually: fabric by the roll, line and terminal posts, top rail, tension bands, brace bands, rail ends, post caps, tie wires, gates and gate hardware. Whether you’re replacing a damaged section or building a whole perimeter, the parts are here — no minimum order.

Gauge is the wire thickness, and smaller numbers mean thicker wire. For most residential perimeters in South Florida, 11 or 11.5 gauge is the right answer — strong enough to last on properly set posts, light enough to install without specialized equipment. Step up to 9 gauge for security perimeters, commercial yards, and anywhere the fence needs to deter cutting. 12.5 gauge is for light-duty work — kennels, dog runs, temporary site fencing. We stock all three; bring your project description and we’ll match a gauge to it.

Vinyl-coated wins near the coast. Within roughly two miles of the ocean — most of Hollywood, Hallandale Beach, Pompano Beach, Deerfield Beach, and the barrier islands — bare galvanized fabric will start showing pitting and rust streaks within a few years as salt air works on the zinc coating. Vinyl-coated chain link wraps the wire in a PVC layer that shrugs off salt and looks better against the landscape. Inland projects on hot-dipped galvanized are usually fine. Cost difference over the life of the fence is modest, and the cosmetic upside (black or green vs raw silver) is a big part of why most residential installs go vinyl-coated regardless of distance from the coast.

Yes, with caveats. Florida Statute 515.29 sets the rules for residential pool barriers: 48-inch minimum height, no horizontal members on the outside that a child could use as toeholds, and self-closing/self-latching gate hardware. Standard 2-inch-mesh chain link with vertical line posts and a self-closing gate kit meets the requirement. Smaller mesh (1¾” or 1⅜”) makes climbing harder if you want extra peace of mind. We’ve written the full rules up in our Florida pool fence law — Statute 515.29 guide; check it before you spec the project.

In almost all cases, yes — and the same is true across Palm Beach and Miami-Dade. Each city has its own height limits, corner-lot rules, HOA overlays, and pool-barrier requirements on top of the county code. Our complete guide to fence permits in Broward County walks through what you need before breaking ground.

Depends on what the fence is for. 48 inches is the minimum residential pool barrier per Florida Statute 515.29. 60–72 inches (5–6 foot) is the residential perimeter standard for property lines, dog runs, and back yards. 8–10 feet or taller goes on commercial yards, equipment storage, athletic fields, and any perimeter where deterrence is the point. For sizing the day-to-day residential question — 5-foot or 6-foot — see our guide on choosing between a 5- and 6-foot fence.

They add wind load — that’s the trade-off. A slatted chain link run catches wind the way open mesh does not, which means more force on every post and footing in a storm. It’s not a deal-breaker, but it has to be planned for: deeper post setting, heavier gauge fabric, sometimes upsized gate posts, and tighter post spacing. The counter-intuitive answer is that open mesh chain link is one of the most hurricane-tolerant fence designs precisely because the wind passes through it. If privacy is a hard requirement, plan the structure to take the load.

Both. There’s no minimum order, no membership card, and no “trade only” gate. Contractor pricing applies to everyone, whether you’re picking up a single roll of fabric for a weekend repair or staging materials for a commercial perimeter.
