When it comes to fencing, you've got many options. Chain link fencing may be your best option, particularly if you need a fence installed quickly and you don't have a large budget to work with. Your fence contractors will install your chain link fencing for you, with your final costs being determined by how much yard space you're putting fencing around, how much labor is required, and what fencing materials cost at the time.
Here are just a few reasons why chain link is your best option for fencing. Speak to your fence contractor about costs for removing old fencing, if applicable, and if they charge extra for faster fence installation if you're on a time constraint.
You can put classic chain link around your whole yard
Chain link is ideal to put around your entire yard because the primary goal of chain link fencing is to create a barrier around your yard, not necessarily to add privacy. This means you can fully fence your entire yard without feeling closed off from the rest of the neighborhood or like you're unable to show off your home's or landscape's curb appeal.
You can install your fence in a variety of ways
Chain link fencing is usually installed in heights ranging from 36 to 72 inches, although you can install the fencing in taller heights if you want. You can also have custom gates created in your chain link fencing design to make the fence more ornate. When installing a chain link fence, make sure you are not in violation of any zoning codes regarding fence heights. These codes are most common for fencing alongside roadways or in the front of properties.
If privacy is something you want, you don't have to stray away from chain link fencing to achieve this goal. Consider vinyl slats placed in your chain link fencing to create a privacy barrier. This can be done during your fencing installation, or the vinyl can be installed at a later date. Vinyl slats come in a variety of colors, so you can further customize your chain link with patterns or a solid color that complements the color of your home.
Chain link fencing will last a long time if you properly maintain the fence and don't allow children, pets, or plants — like vines or flowers — to touch or climb it. Always have a fence contractor install your fencing so it's tight and balanced. This way, the fencing will be less likely to sag with age.
