Rio Grande Fence Company recently completed a new commercial fence installation around the track at Paul Laurence Dunbar High School in Lexington, Kentucky.
The project features a 4-foot black chain-link fence with both top and bottom rail. The finished fence creates a clearly defined boundary around the athletic area while providing the strength, visibility, and clean appearance needed for a busy school environment.
For schools, athletic facilities, parks, businesses, and other public properties, commercial chain-link fencing offers a practical combination of durability, visibility, and value.
Athletic facilities need boundaries that are durable, functional, and appropriate for areas with frequent pedestrian traffic. For this project, our team installed a new black chain-link fence around the Dunbar High School track.
The 4-foot height defines the track perimeter without unnecessarily blocking views across the athletic complex. Its black finish gives the fence a more refined appearance than traditional galvanized chain-link and coordinates well with the school’s track and stadium surroundings.
The result is a professional-looking athletic-field fence designed to support the everyday needs of students, staff, athletes, and visitors.
Clear visibility. The open chain-link mesh maintains visibility across the facility. This is especially valuable around athletic areas where staff, coaches, spectators, and facility managers may need an unobstructed view of surrounding activity.
Durable construction. Commercial chain-link fencing is built for demanding outdoor environments and regular use. Its metal framework makes it a dependable choice for school campuses and athletic facilities exposed to changing Kentucky weather.
A clean, professional appearance. The black finish helps the fence blend into the background and creates a polished look around tracks, stadiums, walkways, and landscaped areas.
Practical perimeter control. A properly planned fence helps guide foot traffic, separate activity areas, and establish clear boundaries around a school or recreational facility.
Long-term value. Chain-link fencing can cover substantial perimeter areas while balancing performance, maintenance needs, and project cost. That makes it a strong option for schools, municipalities, businesses, and other commercial properties.
This Dunbar High School fence installation includes both top and bottom rail.
The top rail connects and supports the fence framework along the upper edge. The bottom rail supports the lower edge of the chain-link fabric, helping the fence maintain a straight, finished appearance and a more defined boundary near ground level.
Together, the two rails create a structured installation suited to the appearance and functional needs of a school athletic facility.
Every school or athletic-facility fence project has its own requirements. Fence height, gates, access points, visibility, pedestrian flow, terrain, and intended use all affect the final design.

Rio Grande Fence Company installed a new 4-foot black chain-link fence with top and bottom rail around the school’s track area in Lexington, Kentucky.
Chain-link fencing is commonly selected for athletic facilities because it provides visibility, durable metal construction, clear boundary definition, and practical coverage for large perimeter areas.
Black chain-link fencing offers the functional advantages of chain-link with a darker, more understated finish. It often blends more naturally with tracks, athletic fields, landscaping, and surrounding structures.
A bottom rail supports the lower edge of the chain-link fabric. It helps create a straighter, more structured fence line and a clearly defined boundary near ground level.
