When you need a practical, durable fence that keeps the yard secure and the dog in without breaking the budget, chain-link is tough to beat. It’s strong, long-lasting, and lets the light and air through — which makes it a favorite for backyards, play areas, and property lines across Fort Wayne. Cameron has been installing chain link fences in Fort Wayne since 2017 and founded Mason Fence in 2023. He remains personally involved and on-site for every project. We do this work the honest way: we sell you the materials at our cost and charge for the labor and installation, nothing more. No markup, no surprises — just a fence built to last.
If you’ve been looking for a chain link fence company in Fort Wayne that gives straight answers and clean work, you’re in the right place. Below is exactly how we work, what goes into the job, and what you can expect from start to finish.
Why Fort Wayne Homeowners Choose Mason Fence
Most people calling around for a chain link fence installer in Fort Wayne have already received one quote that felt padded and another that felt rushed. We aim to be neither. Because we don’t mark up materials — you pay what we pay for the posts and fabric, and we earn our living on the installation — you often pay less for a better-built fence. That’s the core of how we operate, and it’s the thing customers appreciate most on the first call.
We’re a fully insured chain link fence company, and we handle the parts of the job most homeowners never think about. We pull the permit. We call 811 to have your utilities marked about a week before we dig. We keep materials staged neatly rather than leaving them stacked across your driveway or sitting in your yard for weeks. You don’t have to manage any of it — and for many homeowners, that peace of mind is worth the call on its own.
The work itself is done by someone who genuinely cares how it turns out. Cameron grew up in the trade, started his own business, and has built Mason Fence into a trusted local fencing company. He’s on the job site, not behind a desk. His standard on every job is simple: it’s about the details, and nothing gets missed. With chain-link, that means properly tensioned fabric, plumb posts, and gates that swing true — the difference between a fence that stays tight for years and one that sags within a season.
We also keep the buying process pressure-free. No high-pressure sales, no rushing your decision, no constant follow-up calls after the estimate. If you have a competing quote from a reputable company, we’ll price-match it, and active military and veterans receive 10% off. We’d rather earn your business by being the honest, straightforward choice than push you into it.

Chain-Link Fences Built for Pets, Kids, and Peace of Mind
When homeowners first call us about a residential chain link fence in Fort Wayne, it’s rarely about the fence itself — it’s about what the fence solves. They want a safe, contained yard for the dog. They want a secure area where the kids can play. They want a clear boundary along the property line without spending more than the job calls for. Chain-link answers all of that simply and affordably.
It’s also one of the most durable options out there. A galvanized chain link fence in Fort Wayne resists rust and shrugs off Northeast Indiana’s weather year after year with virtually no maintenance. For families who want a practical, no-fuss fence that just works, it’s often the easiest call to make.
We’ll discuss height, gauge, and layout based on what you’re actually trying to accomplish — a standard backyard enclosure, a taller run for a larger dog, or a full perimeter — and we’ll tailor each build to your specific lot rather than forcing a standard layout onto it.
Durable Galvanized Chain-Link at a Fair Price
Chain-link varies in quality, and the difference shows over time. Heavier-gauge fabric, sturdy galvanized posts, and properly tensioned fabric hold up far better than the lightweight materials you’ll find at a big-box store. During your walkthrough, we’ll go over the options that fit your budget and your needs — fabric height, gauge, and gate sizing. Because we don’t mark up materials, you receive quality galvanized chain-link at a fair price either way, along with our honest recommendation on what will perform best for your yard.
Our Simple, Honest Chain-Link Fence Process
We keep the entire process low-stress, from first call to final walkthrough. Here’s how a typical project goes:
- Reach Out: Call, text, email, or complete the form on our site, and we’ll set up a time that works for you.
- On-Site Walkthrough: Cameron comes out and walks the property with you so we can assess the ground, the layout, and exactly where you want the fence. We don’t quote chain-link fences over the phone — seeing the property first is the only way to give you an accurate number you can rely on.
- Written Estimate: You receive a clear, itemized estimate with no surprises. If you have a quote from another reputable company, we’ll price-match it, and active military and veterans receive 10% off.
- Deposit & Scheduling: A 50% deposit reserves your spot on the schedule. About a week before we begin, we call 811 to mark your utilities and handle the permit, so everything’s squared away before the first post goes in.
- Installation & Walkthrough: Most chain-link fence installations are completed in about two days. You’re welcome to be home but don’t need to be. When we finish, we walk the completed fence with you, you pay the balance, and your yard is yours again.
Every new chain-link fence we install is backed by a one-year craftsmanship warranty, in addition to any manufacturer warranty that applies to your materials. We want you confident in your fence long after the crew has finished.
What's Included in Your Chain-Link Fence Installation
A chain-link fence is only as good as what holds it up and how it’s assembled. Here’s what goes into the work we do as your chain link fence contractor in Fort Wayne.
Deep-Set, Frost-Line-Ready Posts
This is the foundation of a lasting fence, and it’s where shortcuts cause the most trouble. We set posts 30 to 32 inches deep — below the Indiana frost line — so the freeze-thaw cycle doesn’t heave your fence out of plumb over the winters. Solid, plumb posts are what keep the fabric tight and the gates working for years.
A No-Dig Option When You Want It
Traditional dug posts aren’t right for every yard or every homeowner. If a no-dig post system is a better fit for your property, we offer it — just let us know during the walkthrough and we’ll discuss whether it makes sense for your installation.
Properly Tensioned Fabric, Gates, and Hardware
We build to your yard, not off a clipboard. That means fabric pulled tight and even, gates sized and placed where you actually need them, solid hardware that holds up to daily use, and a layout that works around your grade, your trees, and your property line. The finer details — gate swing, latch placement, tension on a slope — are exactly the things we make sure are done right.
Serving Fort Wayne and Nearby Communities
Fort Wayne is home base, and it’s where we do most of our work — but as an established chain link fence builder, we serve the surrounding communities as well. If you’re outside the city, visit your local page for details on service in your town:
- New Haven: Local roots and a short drive mean fast, personal service for every chain-link fence project here.

- Huntington: We build across Huntington proper and the north side, where the ground cooperates and we can set posts exactly as they should be set.
- Huntertown: New-construction country northwest of Fort Wayne, and a favorite of ours for fresh backyards that need a fence as the home comes together.
Chain-Link Fence FAQs
No — we handle both. We pull the permit for your project and call 811 to have your utilities marked about a week before we dig. That’s our responsibility, not yours.
Most projects are completed in about two days once we begin. Larger or more complex builds can take longer, and we’ll provide a realistic timeline in your estimate so you’re never left guessing.
Because an accurate quote requires seeing your yard. Ground conditions, layout, and access all affect the job, so Cameron walks the property in person to give you a reliable number rather than a phone estimate that may not hold up.
Chain-link fence projects require a 50% deposit to reserve your spot on the schedule. You pay the balance at the final walkthrough, once the fence is complete and you’re satisfied with it.
Yes. Every new chain-link fence we install comes with a one-year craftsmanship warranty, and we’re fully insured. If something isn’t right, we make it right.
