One of the biggest decisions you'll need to make when purchasing a fence is deciding on the kind of fence to get. While wooden, rod-iron, and picket fences are popular choices for homeowners, you may want to go with a basic chain-link fence. Here are 6 situations that can benefit from using chain-link fencing.
To Maintain A Beautiful View
Is your home in a place with beautiful scenery that surrounds it? Selecting a solid wood fence can completely ruin your view. Since it is so easy to see through chain-link fencing, it won't obstruct the view around your property. Even alternative fencing materials like rod-iron still have those thick bars that can obscure the view to some degree.
To Temporarily Enclose An Area
If you only need to enclose an area temporarily, such as for construction, chain-link fencing will be the most ideal choice. The material can easily be installed and taken down, and is easy to store when you do not need it anymore. That is because the fencing can easily roll up and the metal posts can be stored away.
To Grow Climbing Plants
Having plants that scale a fence can look gorgeous, but it is not possible with some materials. The vines need a place to weave their way through, which is easy with chain-link fencing. You'll need to start the path for the vines to grow through, but they will eventually take over themselves.
To Build A Kennel or Dog Run
A kennel or dog run needs to be fenced in, but you may not want to limit the view that your dog has to just a fence. You also might want to be able to view the dog to make sure that they are doing okay when inside it. Chain-link fencing will be ideal for visibility and practicality.
To Fence In A Pool
Pools need fences around them for safety, but you do not want to limit the view of your pool when you are inside it. Chain-link fencing can provide just enough security to keep out trespassers, but not make it feel enclosed in a small space that is slightly bigger than the pool.
To Save Money
If you are on a budget, chain-link fencing can be one of the most affordable kind of fencing available. Expect to pay between $16.57 and $28.95 per foot to have chain-link fencing professionally installed at your home.
