Chain link fence installation Newmarket ON

When you hear about chain link fences, it might conjure up images of school yards and institutions, but these days chain link fencing has as many applications as it has nicknames (wire netting, wire mesh fence, diamond mesh fence, chain wire fence, and so on). With modern treatment options, it can have a place in homes without looking completely unattractive and utilitarian.

Let’s explore some common advantages and disadvantages of chain link fencing:

Pros:

Cheap, cheap and cheap. Out of all the fencing materials (metal, wood, vinyl, etc.), the familiar diamond shaped chain link fences are by far the most affordable.
Versatile in different settings, depending on the gauge number. The higher the gauge, the thinner the wires, so this would be acceptable in businesses and homes. The lower gauge number refers to a thicker, sturdier wire which is more suited to higher security industrial settings.
Coatings can make chain link fencing durable and resistant to rust. It is usually galvanized to achieve this, but in addition, a vinyl coating can provide additional protection.
Vinyl coating has different colour options including black, white, green and brown.

Cons:

This is a subjective disadvantage, but the general consensus is that chain link fencing is the least attractive out of all the fencing options available. If, however, you are looking to install a basic barrier for practical purposes such as keeping your pets in the yard, or demarcating properties, this does the job just fine.
There’s not much in terms of privacy. As you can tell, there are diamond shaped openings that allow air flow, but also prying eyes. If privacy isn’t a concern, then this disadvantage is negligible.

To sum up chain link fencing’s features, it is a top pick for commercial and industrial settings due to its no-fuss practicality and durability. For homes, it can provide a decent barrier and demarcation between properties, but don’t discount other fencing materials that can offer comparable or even superior durability, therefore making the price difference not as dramatic as the initial upfront costs. Also consider the importance (or lack thereof, depending on your situation) of how it increases home value. A mesh fence will not increase a home value nearly as much as traditional fencing materials such as wood, vinyl or composite. However, if you're not looking to sell your home anytime soon, this is a moot point for the time being.

What is the average cost to install a chain link fence? You’re likely looking at a cost of between $10 to $20 or so per linear foot. The height and length also affect the chain link fence installation cost. Since it is an affordable option, it is a popular choice for enclosing a large area, and that’s why it’s so commonly seen in institutions.
