Chain link fencing is certainly the most recognizable type of fencing in the U.S. Common on sports fields and parks, industrial and manufacturing facilities and many homes, chain link is an affordable solution to many problems that require fencing.

It remains a popular fence choice for a variety of reasons. Improvements have been made to chain link fencing over time to improve its durability, quality and appearance.

Even with the improvements there are pros and cons to chain link fencing and we will look at them in this post.

First, the pros:

• Affordability &#; Chain link fence is the most affordable fence option which can be installed by home do-it-yourselfers, although a professional can ensure a tight, lasting installation that will perform well for years.
• Low Maintenance &#; Chain link fencing requires little or no maintenance. All chain link fencing is galvanized, meaning the metal wire fence material underwent a chemical process to protect it from rusting. This extends the life of the chain link and limits the maintenance.
• Safety &#; Chain link is popular as it contains children and pets in yards while also offering a sight link through it to allow watching activity on the other side.
• Appearance options &#; Generic galvanized chain link fence can be improved &#; such as black or green vinyl-covered. Or there is California-style chain link that has wooden posts and rails and offer different looks and designs. Vinyl-coated chain link also lasts longer than galvanized.

While there are advantages to the chain link, there are also disadvantages. Among them:

• Residential security &#; While chain link fencing can be built tall, and barbed wire added to the top for security, that is typically done only in industrial and manufacturing settings. Homeowners typically use a four-foot chain link, which, as most people know, can be readily climbed over.
• Appearance &#; Without vinyl coating or California style construction, and given its popularity and use at industrial sites, chain link is considered a generic, more pedestrian fence design. Even with galvanization, chain link fencing and fence posts can be scratched.
• Lack Of Privacy &#; Chain link fence won&#;t keep prying eyes away. There is an option for putting slats in the chain link to improve privacy, but that isn&#;t often used.

If chain link fencing is the option that best fits your need, the fence can be installed by do-it-yourselfers, but professional installation will ensure the tightest, longest-lasting fence.

What if we told you that powder coated fences and vinyl chain link fences were not the same thing? What if we also told you that using one over the other might save you thousands of dollars in the long run? Read on to learn about how powder coated fences and vinyl chain link fences are similar, how they&#;re different, and why choosing one over the other can help or hurt your business.

The Differences Between Powder-Coated and Vinyl Chain Link Fences

Powder-coating is a process where powder is applied to metal to create a smooth, long-lasting finish. This type of coating is more durable than paint and can resist rust and corrosion. Vinyl-coated chain link fences have a plastic coating that is applied to the metal wire. This coating protects the metal from weathering and rusting, and it also gives the fence a more finished look.

Do You Need Privacy or Security

A powder coated fence provides both privacy and security for your commercial property. A vinyl chain link fence may provide some security, but it does not provide the same level of privacy as a powder coated fence. If you are looking for an affordable way to enclose your property, a vinyl chain link fence may be a good option. However, if you need a more secure and private enclosure, a powder coated fence is the better choice.

Industrial Area

If you are in an industrial area, then you may want to use a powder coated fence because they will not rust as easily as the vinyl coating. If you live in an area with lots of trees around your property, then you might want to go with the vinyl fence so they don&#;t damage the paint on your posts. 

Budget Considerations

A powder coated fence will be more expensive than a vinyl coated chain link fence. If you&#;re on a budget, you may want to consider the latter. However, powder coating provides a number of benefits that may make it worth the extra cost.

Color Options

When it comes to powder coating your fence, the options are endless. You can choose any color you want, and it will be powder coated to match. With a vinyl chain link fence, you&#;re limited to the colors that the manufacturer offers.
