Need a durable boundary for your yard, business, or property? We install galvanized chain link fences with posts set deep in concrete - built for Del Rio soil and heat, with gates hung right so they hold up year after year.
Chain link fence installation in Del Rio, TX means setting steel posts in concrete through caliche-heavy soil, stretching galvanized wire fabric between them, and hanging gates that close and latch securely - most residential jobs run one to three days depending on yard size and whether old fencing needs to come out first.
Chain link is one of the most practical fences you can put up in this area. It is strong, lets you see through it - which matters if you have kids or pets - and does not need the upkeep that wood demands. If security is a priority, it pairs well with a security fence installation that adds height, topping options, or access control for a more reinforced perimeter.
Advanced Del Rio Fence has been installing fences across Val Verde County since 2018. We know what Del Rio ground requires, and we price jobs accordingly - no surprise charges when the power auger hits caliche three inches down.
Walk your fence line and look for posts that tilt even slightly. In Del Rio's caliche soil, posts not set deep enough in concrete begin to shift after heavy rains soften the ground around them. A leaning post will not correct itself - it will keep moving until the fence falls.
Orange-brown staining along the lower sections of the wire, especially where it contacts the soil, is a sign of active rust. Del Rio's summer monsoon rains leave the ground damp for days, which accelerates corrosion at the base. A heavily rusted fence is past the repair threshold - patching it costs nearly as much as replacement.
Slack wire across large sections, or fabric that has been pushed outward and not snapped back, means the tension has failed. A sagging fence provides no real boundary for children or pets. In Del Rio's neighborhoods near open land, a compromised fence is a safety issue, not just a cosmetic one.
If your yard backs up to a drainage channel, a busy road, or open ranchland - common in several Del Rio neighborhoods - an unfenced yard creates real daily anxiety for anyone with kids or dogs. Chain link gives you a clear, durable boundary with good visibility so you can see what is happening in your yard at all times.
We install chain link in standard galvanized steel and vinyl-coated finishes in black, green, and other colors. Heights range from three feet for decorative yard boundaries up to eight feet or more for security applications. Every installation includes properly sized gate posts, quality hinge hardware, and latches that close securely. Taller fence heights and heavier-gauge wire are available for homeowners who need a more serious perimeter - options that also work well paired with a full aluminum fence installation on sections of the property where appearance matters more.
For property owners who need both chain link and a stronger, more finished perimeter, we can help you think through which fence type fits each section of your property. Matching the right material to each boundary - utility side, street-facing side, shared property lines - keeps costs reasonable while giving you the function you actually need.
Homeowners who want a durable, low-maintenance boundary at the most straightforward price point.
Those who want corrosion protection and a cleaner appearance - available in black and green.
Standard backyard enclosures for children and pets where height is not the primary concern.
Properties where privacy or deterrence matters - a six-foot fence is harder to climb and more of a visual barrier.
Any installation that needs a gated entry - we hang and adjust gates so they swing freely and latch every time.
Business owners or rural property owners who need a fence that can take real abuse without bending or sagging.
Del Rio sits on the edge of the Edwards Plateau, where the ground is caliche-heavy and rocky just a few inches below the surface. Digging post holes through that material takes power equipment - a hydraulic auger or jackhammer attachment - not hand tools. Contractors who arrive unprepared will either cut corners on post depth or charge you for the extra work they did not price. We show up with the right equipment because we have been digging in Val Verde County's ground since 2018. Del Rio also borders Mexico, and many homeowners here prioritize property definition and security as much as aesthetics - chain link delivers both at a realistic price point for this market.
Concrete curing also matters more in Del Rio than in cooler climates. Summer temperatures regularly push past 100 degrees, and concrete that sets too fast becomes brittle. We schedule post-setting work in the cooler morning hours and pace the job accordingly. If you are in Eagle Pass or out near Comstock, the soil and heat conditions are similar - the same approach applies across this entire stretch of South Texas border country.
We respond within 1 business day. Tell us roughly how much fencing you need and whether you want gates - we schedule a free on-site estimate from there. No obligation to move forward after the visit.
We walk your property, measure the fence line, check the ground conditions, and confirm where gates will go. You get a written quote that already accounts for Del Rio's caliche soil - no surprise upcharges when the auger hits rock.
We apply for the City of Del Rio building permit and contact Texas 811 to have underground lines marked before digging starts. Both steps are required by law. We handle both so you do not have to.
Posts go in on day one. After concrete cures overnight, we stretch and attach the wire fabric, then hang and adjust all gates. We walk the entire fence line with you before the crew leaves - anything that needs attention gets fixed on the spot.
We respond within 1 business day - no pressure, no obligation. Submit your request and someone from our office will call to schedule a free on-site estimate at a time that works for you.

A gate that drags or fails to latch within a year is one of the most common signs of a rushed installation. We hang every gate with properly sized posts and quality hardware, then walk and test each one before we leave your property.
Your written estimate covers labor, materials, permit fees, and gate hardware. The number you approve is the number on the final invoice. The American Fence Association recommends getting a written contract before work begins - we provide one on every job.
