Chain link.
The reliable classic.
Sometimes the simplest solution is the right one. People pick it because it encloses a lot of ground, lasts a long time, and asks nothing of you afterward. Built right, it does all three.
We built the fence at Pioneer Park
Pioneer Park in Tumwater is ours. It is a public site, it takes public wear, and it is a fair thing to go look at before you hire anybody, including us.
That job is a useful shorthand for what chain link is good at. It covers a lot of ground economically, it does not block sightlines, it holds up to weather and traffic, and once it is in, it is genuinely finished. There is no maintenance season for chain link.
Where people go wrong is treating it as the fence that does not need care in the installation either. Corner and end posts carry the whole tension of the run. If those are undersized or shallow, the fabric goes slack and the whole line starts to lean. That is the part we do not shortcut.
Three jobs chain link does best
Residential enclosure
Kids and dogs contained, the yard still feels open, and the budget covers the whole perimeter instead of one side only.
Work yards and storage
Where the job is security and access control rather than privacy. Gate sizing matters more than anything else here.
Public and park work
Pioneer Park in Tumwater is one of ours. Public sites are a hard test, and they are a fair one to judge us on.
Six things we do on every chain-link job
Terminal posts sized up
End, corner, and gate posts carry the tension of the entire run. They get the depth and the concrete the job actually needs.
Every post set in concrete
Post bases sized to the height of the fence and the soil conditions on your property.
Fabric tensioned properly
Slack fabric is the single most visible sign of a rushed chain-link job. We stretch it and we check it.
Gates built for their span
A wide gate is a different challenge from a narrow one. We frame and hang each gate to handle its size and weight.
Dig after locate
Utility locates called and cleared before excavation. Permits pulled where your jurisdiction requires one.
Line left clean
Old fence out, spoils hauled, ground raked back. We leave the line the way we would want it left.

What people actually say

— Lynz Halversen, Google review“If you haven’t seen the quality craftsmanship of Lionheart Fence Builders, take a look at some of their completed projects. Their work truly speaks for itself!”
— Kristine Zitny, Google reviewOn price
Chain link is usually the most ground you can enclose for the money, which is why people ask for a per-foot number over the phone. But the terminal posts, the gates, and the access are what actually drive the price, and none of those are visible from a phone call. You don’t get a quote until we walk the property line.
Our minimum project is $5,000. If we can’t give you what you need, we tell you on the phone rather than after the visit.
$5,000 project minimumWe don't publish per-foot pricing, because a number without a site visit is a guess. Your written price comes after we've walked the property.

Questions we get asked
Do you handle the permit and the utility locate?
Yes. We arrange the utility locate before digging and check permit requirements for your specific address. Requirements vary by jurisdiction, so we confirm what applies to your property as part of the estimate.
Can I see a chain-link job you have done?
Yes. Pioneer Park in Tumwater is one of our chain-link projects. It is a public space, so you can see the fence in person and get a firsthand look at our work.
Can chain link be made more private?
Yes. Screening and insert options can add privacy to chain-link fencing. We will walk you through the options available for your fence, and quote them separately so you know exactly what you are adding.
What exactly does the lifetime workmanship warranty cover?
It covers installation quality for as long as the original customer owns the property. If improper installation or our workmanship causes a problem, we repair it at no labor cost. Material defects and outside damage are excluded.
Can you build in the rain?
Yes — if we waited for dry weather here we would work four months a year. The ground does not freeze, so we build through the wet season. Individual steps can be weather-dependent, and when a day needs to move you will hear it from us.
Is there financing?
Yes. Zero-percent financing is available on approved credit. You can apply online before your estimate, giving you a clearer picture of your options before we meet to discuss the project.
