Six product categories that make Midwest Air Technologies the go-to source for chain link fencing and outdoor enclosure solutions.
Galvanized Steel
Hot-dipped galvanized chain link fabric resists rust and corrosion for years of reliable outdoor performance, even in Florida's humid salt-air environment.
Vinyl-Coated Chain Link
A layer of durable vinyl coating over galvanized steel adds an extra barrier against corrosion while providing a finished, color-matched appearance that blends with any landscape.
Tension Band Systems
Precision-formed tension bands and brace bands secure chain link fabric tightly to terminal posts, maintaining consistent fence tension through wind, impact, and thermal expansion.
Gate Hardware Systems
Complete gate hardware including hinges, latches, fork latches, and drop rods engineered for smooth operation and long service life on residential and commercial gates.
Post Caps & Accessories
Dome caps, loop caps, and finials protect the tops of fence posts from water intrusion while providing a clean, finished appearance to the fence line.
Earth Anchors
Heavy-duty earth anchors secure fence posts, guy wires, and ground-mounted structures against wind uplift and lateral forces — critical in Florida's hurricane-prone climate.
Expert Knowledge
Everything you need to know about planning and installing chain link fencing in Southwest Florida.
Planning Your Chain Link Fence
Fence Height & Gauge
36" (3 ft): Decorative borders and garden enclosures.
48" (4 ft): Standard residential front yard — meets most local codes.
60" (5 ft): Privacy and pet containment — popular choice for Florida backyards.
72" (6 ft): Maximum residential height in most Cape Coral and Fort Myers neighborhoods.
Post Spacing & Layout
Line posts: Space 8-10 feet apart for standard residential fencing.
Terminal posts: Required at corners, ends, and gate openings. Use larger diameter for strength.
Post depth: Set posts in concrete at least 1/3 of the total post length underground.
Florida tip: Sandy Florida soil may require deeper post holes or larger concrete footings for stability.
