Black Chain Link Fencing: the Color of Choice for Discerning Homeowners
When it comes to chain link fencing, homeowners often choose between two popular options: black chain link and galvanized (silver) chain link. While both offer durability and security, black chain link fencing has become increasingly popular among homeowners for several compelling reasons.
Black chain link fences offer a more modern and sleek appearance than traditional galvanized silver fences. The sleek, modern appearance of black chain link blends seamlessly with various landscaping styles and complements most home exteriors. It creates a subtle backdrop that allows your garden or yard features to stand out rather than drawing attention to the fence itself.
Additionally, black chain link fencing is less reflective than its galvanized counterpart, providing a more discreet boundary to make your outdoor space feel larger and more open.
Frequently Asked Questions About
Chain Link Fencing
The cost of a chain link fence varies depending on factors such as the size of your property, the height of the fence, and any additional features or customizations. However, chain link fencing is generally one of the most affordable fencing options available.
While it is possible to install a chain link fence as a DIY project, it can be challenging and time-consuming, especially if you lack experience or the necessary tools. The use of a Pul-Jak or come-along will be necessary for stretching chain link fence fabric to the right tension. Hiring a professional chain link fence installation company like Thrive Fencing ensures a proper, efficient installation and guarantees the longevity and functionality of your fence.
With proper installation and maintenance, a chain link fence can last for 15-20 years or more. Factors such as the quality of materials, environmental conditions, and the level of care given to the fence can impact its lifespan.
Galvanized chain link fencing is made from steel that has been coated with a layer of zinc to protect against rust and corrosion. Black chain link fencing is also galvanized, but features an additional vinyl coating over the steel wire, providing further protection and a sleek, modern appearance. Black chain link fencing is often preferred for its aesthetic appeal and additional durability.
Chain link fences require relatively little maintenance compared to other fencing types. To keep your fence in top condition, occasionally wash it with a mild detergent and water to remove dirt and debris. Inspect your fence regularly for any signs of damage or wear, and address any issues promptly to prevent further deterioration. Remove volunteer bushes and trees that can grow into or through the fence. If you notice significant damage, contact Thrive Fencing for professional chain link fence repair services.
Yes, you can easily add a chain link fence privacy screen to your existing fence to increase privacy and reduce visibility. These screens are typically made from durable, weather-resistant materials and can be installed quickly. If you are in a windy area, basic residential fence-grade posts may not be strong enough to support the new wind load. Therefore if you plan to install screening we recommend thicker-gauge posts at a nominal increase in cost.
Some potential drawbacks of chain link fencing include:
- Difficult DIY repairs: Replacing or re-stretching fence fabric can be challenging for a layperson, and you may need to call a professional for assistance.
- Climbing pets: Some dogs can learn to climb chain link fences, which may require additional measures to prevent escape.
- Climbable for children: Chain link fences are relatively easy for kids to climb, which may be a concern for some homes.
