Our happy customers

We’ve helped a lot of families

David is a good communicator, and his work is professional grade. He is also not out to gauge - his prices are fair. He did a great job of installing new gates in our complex here in Victoria that are far better quality than the work we'd had before, and at a better price than the bigger fencing companies.

I’ve dealt with a lot of contractors and builders in my day but you are truly on top of your game. Your team is outstanding and was clearly the best contractor for our project. And even though it was a small fence, you showed up on time and made it happen

Thanks to DJ Fencing, they made my fence dreams come true with my new privacy fence. My neighbours have commented on the quality work and professional crew. I now have a great peace of mind.

Great experience from start to finish. Owner David is a stand-up guy. He gave us a fair estimate and his guys completed the job when they said they were going to. And it looks great!

I requested 3 quotes for a short fence and DJ came back with substantially the lowest and the ability to install the soonest. The fence was exactly as I had requested, done on time and on budget.

I recently got my fence replaced with DJ Fencing. Not only am I incredibly happy with the black chain link fence, but I was overwhelmed by their customer service. I thought their initial quote was very fair and competitively priced. The owner and his sons are very pleasant, hard-working, and professional. My husband is ill, and they were very compassionate about our situation. I would gladly recommend this company to a friend and will be using them again!

FAQ About Chain Link

What are the downsides of chain link?

The only negative side to using chain link fences instead of wood or aluminum paneling is that you can see through chain link fences. Even if you add privacy slats, there’s still a chance neighbours or pedestrians will still be able to peek through to your property. If this is an issue for you, DJ Fencing will assess your needs and provide alternative cost-effective solutions during our initial intake call.

What are the costs of chain link?

The costs associated with installing chain link fences are mainly the gauge of chain you require, aluminum posts, post caps, braces, latches and the labour associated with the installation. As our galvanized chain link fences are coated to protect from corrosion and rust, you don’t need to paint or treat the fence – ever! In some situations, installing low-cost chain link fences for the parts of the yard that aren’t visible from the street is a great solution. Especially if its surrounded by bushes or foliage – as high density bushes restrict airflow and sunlight which often causes premature wood rot for cedar or wooden fence structures. Got front hedges? If so, your hedges help conceal the privacy and security chain link fences provide.

Do I need a permit?

Before you start any fencing project, you’ll want to make sure that you’re building the fence on the proper lot and that you have complied to local municipal or strata bylaws. Check the property lines before you get started, as fixing a fence that is encroaching on your neighbor’s property can be expensive, time-consuming, and create tension between near neighbors.

Chain link fences are popular in back yards. They can be used to keep pets in (and wild animals out), separate the landscaping from a neighbor’s yard, and generally mark or identify the boundaries of the yard or property. As chain link fences can be very institutional looking, you can add colorful planting beds and sculptures around it to make it more appealing.

If your home is located on a main road with lots of passerby’s chain link fences don’t obstruct the front of the home, while providing an exceptional level of privacy and protection from unwanted guests. It also allows your home to be viewed from the road, important for deliveries or emergency service vehicles.

Many of our customers use chain link fences as a trellis, adding privacy with large flowering plants.
