David and I have been talking about redoing the gate to our fence if we purchase the trailer we live in because it is ugly and there is no, way you can fix this fence up as it is metal and to high for anyone to see in our yard.
Having this type of fence is nice as it keeps up safe but this fence is only on two sides. Then on one side is a chain link fence and in the backyard is a wooden fence. I hate seeing all the fences made of different materials as it makes the trailer look horrible. I would like one consecutive fence and I can’t wait until we are able to redo the fence.
Reasons for Opting for the Chain link Fence
This zig-zagged fence with the diamond pattern from the zig-zagging is also known as a cyclone fence or hurricane fence. The chainlink fence is quite popular. Why do you ask?
- It is cheaper than most other fences.
- It is not difficult to install.
- It lets in light unreservedly.
- You can make it nubilous by filling in slabs into the mesh.
Uses
- If you have watched wrestling matches, you have seen chain link fences used during the steel cage fights.
- It is used as the backstop in baseball and softball courts.
- It was used during WW2 ( World War 2) to fence in parks in London. The chainlink fence replaces the iron and steel railings which were needed for the war effort.
- In racetracks this fence catches cars to prevent wayward cars from ramming into impact barriers
- It is popular with poultry farmers who use it in chicken runs and as fencing to keep the chicken in…or out.
Advantages of the chain link fence
There are many types of fences that you will find even without looking hard. However, if you are looking for a pocket-friendly fence for your property, you will find the chain link fence very appealing. Here are a few reasons why:
- You will not have to rob a bank.
It will not cost you as much as most other fencing options. Their installation is also not complicated, which means you will not pay a lot of money for that. Therefore, if you are on a budget, the chain link is your best bet.
- Minimal maintenance
A chain link fence is galvanized, so it will not rust. It does not attract dirt and rubble either. Therefore, it does not demand to be cleaned. All you need to keep off your fence are cobwebs and leaves; that’s it. Once it is in, you can rest easy.
- Security
If safety is a concern, the chain link fence has you covered. If you install a tall one, you can prevent people from getting in and out of your yard or home easily. You must, however, ensure that it is properly installed. It is also great for ensuring the safety of your pets. If you like setting them free to run outside, you can be sure that they will not stray.
They let the light in.
Having a chainlink fence is akin to having none at all in that the blessed sunlight has free reign into your home. You are able to keep people in or out, but still, have the advantage of an unobscured view. You can watch people right outside your house!
Disadvantage
The one disadvantage with this kind of fence is the complete lack of privacy. If you have neighbors living close by, you might have a lot of peeping Toms spying on you. If your house is by a path or road, it gets even worse. If you are a sucker for privacy, this is not the fence for you.
The chain link fence is quite versatile as it has a variety of uses and is also fun as it allows you to see what is going on outside your boundaries. Thus, you could get some chain link fence builders to install your fence for you and you are set to enjoy being in your yard and observing life beyond your fence.
