Chain link fences aren’t the prettiest fences. Yet they are extremely durable, versatile, and useful. 

Here are three times when a chain link fence is the right choice.

#1) When Security is the #1 Concern

There are many reasons to add a fence to your property, including privacy and curb appeal. But if you really only care about keeping criminals off your property, it’s hard to beat a chain link fence.

They’re difficult to climb. It’s often easy to raise them high enough to make unauthorized access even more difficult. If you have a commercial property, you can add barbed wire to the top.

The mesh patterns of a chain link fence also help with the security aspect. By retaining some visibility, you are able to keep an eye on what’s going on right outside of your property. You can still retain some privacy by choosing a style of chain link fence which reduces the gap between links.

#2) When Paired With Certain Climbing Plants

Want to add a whimsical series of climbing morning glories to your fence, or some vibrant Coral honeysuckle plants? 

Chain link fences offer excellent support for vining plants. We’ve seen them turned into the skeleton for glorious “living” fences in the past. 

#3) When Protecting Pets is the Purpose 

Certain fences are very easy for dogs to dig under. Wooden fences are also very easy for dogs to chew on. 

Chain link fences are more difficult, and do a better job of keeping dogs safe and sound. Only metal and masonry fences compare, and not everyone has the budget for those fence types.

Chain link fencing is especially useful for protecting big dogs.
