Chain Link Fence Installation Burnaby
Chain link fences probably formed some early memories for people growing up. Whether it be curiously poking your finger through a hole or climbing up the fence like Spiderman, a lot of people had interactions with chain link fences growing up. It is one of the most economical fence types to install over large areas while also having a security aspect to it. These types of fences are most popularly seen at schools, sports complexes, and municipal parks. The main purpose of chain link fences were originally classified as industrial but with some modern treatment, they can also play a role in residential settings as well. It has gained many different names over the year but all of them essentially mean the same thing: diamond mesh fence, wire netting, chain wire fence, wire mesh fence etc. Its easy to tell that a chain link fence and a wood fence look different, we'll take a look at some of the pros and cons of installing a chain link fence. Benefits - It is relatively cheaper compared to other fencing materials. When installing fences across a large area, distance can start adding up quickly. Imagine a large sports complex with a fence around the perimeter. That's a lot of space to be covered! The relatively inexpensive cost is what makes chain link fences so popular. - Versatility: Not only can it be installed across different types of areas, you are able to choose the thickness of the wire which is referred to as the gauge of the wire. The gauge of the fence also determines the amount of galvanized steel that is contained within the fabric. The most common gauges are 6, 9, 11, and 11 and a half gauge. Typically, 9 gauge is what you will most commonly see for commercial and residential fences. A smaller number corresponds to more steel included which leads to a stronger fence. When working on any heavy duty installation, a 6 gauge may be required. - To add an extra layer of protection, coating your chain link fence can increase its durability and help make it more rust resistant. The majority of chain link fences are galvanized to achieve this impact but a vinyl coating can be added for extra protection. - Designs for chain link fences are very limited but if you have your fence coated with vinyl, you do have some colour options to choose from: black, white, green, and brown. Even a subtle colour change could be what makes a chain link fence viable in with your homes landscape. Disadvantages - The main reason chain link fences are not popular in residential settings comes down to consumer preference. There isn't really anyway around it, chain link fences are not visually pleasing to look at and is probably the least attractive fence. There are ways to mitigate that by coated the fence in vinyl but that doesn't necessarily change the structure of the fence. When it comes to pure function, you've come to the right spot. - The one other major con of a chain link fence is the lack of privacy. While the lack of privacy may be okay in some commercial or industrial settings, it may not be the most applicable for residential settings. The diamond shape allows for good air flow but anyone can easily look through the fence. If you don't require this type of privacy, a chain link could be a great option for you. |
