One of the most economical and popular fencing options is the chain link fence.
Low maintenance and durable, what chain link fences lack in beauty they more than make up for in worry-free living. However, new developments in chain link fencing have made it possible to have color infused mesh, decorate posts, ornate gates and a variety of mesh sizes making them more attractive than ever. Typically a chain link fence is known for security rather than privacy, but they are one of the few fencing options that can stand up to plant growth and climbing vines that offer home and property owners a “living fence” option.
Chain link fences are among the most affordable option out there. Not just by the cost of installation but also in maintenance opportunity cost. However, it comes with a trade-off. Wood fencing, the next least expensive option, offers more privacy for property owners, but also requires periodic painting, staining, repair, and treating to ward off the elements year after year. On the other hand, chain link fencing can remain safe, secure and corrosion free for more than 20 years without any significant investment in time or money.
