Home » Fence Guide » What Is a Wood and Chain Link Combination Fence?

A wood and chain link combination fence pairs the two: the strength and value of chain link mesh with the privacy and finished look of wood. It is a practical way to contain pets and add privacy without the cost of a full wood fence. Empire Fence builds combination fences for homeowners across Tulsa and northeast Oklahoma.

It brings together the best of both materials.

What a Combination Fence Is

A combination fence uses a chain link framework for strength and containment, with wood added for privacy and looks. A common version puts wood posts and rails around chain link mesh, sometimes with wood slats or a privacy strip woven in, so you get the security of mesh with a warmer, more finished appearance than bare chain link. Our blog explains why a wood and chain link fence is worth considering, and the wood chain link page shows examples.

Why It Works So Well

The combination solves a few problems at once. Chain link is the most budget-friendly, durable way to contain a yard, but it offers no privacy. Adding wood gives you that privacy and a look that fits a backyard, without paying for a full cedar fence. It is a strong pick for dog owners who want secure containment plus a finished face, and the open mesh handles our wind well. For round, ranch-style property, our round rail with mesh uses the same idea on a larger scale.

How We Build It

We set posts in concrete, stretch the chain link tight, and add the wood elements so everything wears together. As with any fence, steel posts are an option for added wind resistance and a longer life. It is a flexible build, and we will tailor the mix of wood and mesh to what you want from privacy, containment, and budget. See our best fence for a backyard guide for how it stacks up against other options.
