Installing a Chain Link Fence Is the Economical Choice
Have you ever wondered why you see so many chain link fences? From urban areas to country roads, chain link is a ubiquitous sight, but why? It’s simple, really. Chain link fences are economical, not just because they’re inexpensive to install, but also because of their inherent value. Let’s take a look at some of the benefits of chain link fencing.
- It’s a great option for security. Chain link fences can be as high as 20 feet tall, and that’s enough to discourage even a determined burglar. If that’s not enough of a deterrent, you can always add tactical obstacles and entanglements to discourage fence climbing, or use smaller mesh to make it harder to climb. Chain link is also great for keeping wildlife out of your property, and it’s a strong enough barrier to protect against vehicles accidentally running onto your property if you live on a busy road.
- Chain link really is inexpensive. Compared to other types of fencing material, chain link is a very affordable option.
- It provides more privacy than you might expect. You might be concerned that chain link won’t give you the privacy of a wood or vinyl fence, but you can modify your chain link fence to meet your needs. There are color matching slats that can be woven into the chain link mesh, to keep prying eyes off your property. Of course, you can always get creative with your chain link fence, weaving whatever you’d like through the mesh, to make it as much a work of art as a security feature, or using it as a trellis to grow lush vines.
- Chain link fencing comes with a surprising number of options. You can choose from galvanized fence, made of steel coated with zinc, or aluminized, in which the steel is coated with aluminum. Vinyl coated fences are available in a variety of colors and can be used on galvanized frames for an even more economical option.
- It’s a good choice for kids and pets. In addition to keeping intruders out, chain link is really good at keeping people and animals in. It’s great for containing dogs and keeping kids safe.
- Chain link is durable and low maintenance. It’s sturdy enough to stand up to gale-force winds and plenty of other hazards yet requires very little upkeep. Hosing it down every now and then is enough to keep it in good shape, and if it does need repair, chain link is easy to fix.
