Why Choose A Chain Link Fence?
Safety Especially For Pets/Little Ones
The objective of a fence is frequently to discourage individuals from leaving rather than getting in. If you have young children or pets, you may appreciate the worry.
They want to play in the backyard, and you want them to learn to be self-sufficient and handle issues on their own, but you're worried about their safety. So you've come to the conclusion that getting a fence around the backyard to provide a safe environment for children to play is a wonderful idea, and you are correct!
However, if security is your first goal, you probably don't need a wrought iron fence that smaller animals can get through or a large, expensive vinyl fence. Chain link fence is an excellent balance since it offers enough of a barrier to prevent escape while being economical and simple to install.
Low Amount of Maintenance
Traditional wood fence necessitates a large amount of upkeep due to the fact that wood is a natural material that can deal with issues related to weather.If it is exposed to heavy rain or snow, the wood will decay, the paint will peel, and you will have to repair it every year.
Chain link fence is made of metal, but it has a powder coating to keep water out and prevent corrosion. Your chain-link fence will behave more like a synthetic material than a natural metal as a result of this barrier, requiring little to no maintenance.
Because the fencing is chain link rather than solid vinyl or wood, you won't have to worry about snow removal. Although the galvanized steel the fence is made with is designed to prevent rusting, it is still possible to for your fence to develop rust, just so you're not shocked if this does happen. There are tons of great articles explaining measures to take if this does happen. Here is one.
Years Longevity
Chain link is exceptionally long-lasting and resistant to both damage and harsh weather conditions. While natural fences constructed of wood or bamboo deteriorate over time, a metal fence sprayed with a powder or paint coating should survive for years.
Reasons Not To Go For A Chain Link Fence
Residential Safety and Security
While barbed wire can be placed on top of chain link fencing for increased security, this is normally only done in industrial and manufacturing settings. As most people are aware, most homes use a four-foot chain link fence, which can simply be climbed over.
Appearance
Due to its absence of vinyl coating and California-style construction, as well as its popularity and employment at industrial locations, chain link is considered a broad, more pedestrian fence design.
Inadequate Privacy
A chain link fence will not keep prying eyes away from your property. To offer privacy, slats can be added to the chain link, but this isn't done very often.
