Chain Link Fences
Chain link fences can be effective for keeping pets contained in smaller areas, such as the typical residential yard. Smaller versions of these fences also work well as property borders and can help deter your neighbors from invading your space.
Although some people find chain link less attractive than other fencing options, it is extremely durable. Most chain link fences are galvanized and require minimal maintenance after being installed.
Chain link provides minimal privacy so that your neighbors will have no problem seeing your yard activities but planting shrubs and small trees near the fence line can make your boundary more attractive and add privacy.
Chain link fence gates typically use latches that partially encircle the metal posts. A padlock can be attached for added security.
