Change your perception of this fence type of fence by debunking some myths
Today’s chain link is not your grandfather’s zinc colored, ugly, galvanized steel metal fence that rusts over time. Many of our customers still have this outdated image in their mind when deciding on what to install for safety, privacy and security.

We have had homeowners and business owners believe in this myth over the years. While chain link is woven and can be climbed, chain link is frequently used for perimeter security. In fact, one of the unique features of chain link is visibility which allows for security guards and cameras to see intruders easily.
Fencing can also be combined with a chain link gate. Popular with commercial and industrial locations, gates can allow for easy vehicle entry and exit. Chain link gates can even be automated with access control features for remote security.
Another myth of chain link fencing is whether it is a suitable material for privacy. Chain link is versatile and can be used for both visibility and for privacy! Adding a windscreen is a simple add-on that makes chain link a privacy fence. Green or black windscreen colors combined with a vinyl chain link fence create a nearly invisible barrier that blends into the surrounding landscape. Composite noise panels can also be added to help block out noise from traffic, neighbors or nearby businesses.
