There are a few great reasons to choose chain link fencing. Whether you are thinking about the installation process or the actual fence itself, when compared to other materials it is a great choice. Here are some of the big reasons our customers choose chain link fences for installation.
Chain link fencing is one of the most affordable materials in the fencing industry. It is easily mass-produced and thus it remains easy to fulfill the demand with the supply. Because chain link fencing is so affordable, many of our customers with larger projects prefer this option because it won’t jack up the pricing with more feet of fencing.
This is one of the most low-maintenance fencing materials you can find. During installation, there are no specific steps you need to take to preserve the material if it takes a few days.
After installation, chain link fencing simply stands on its own. There is no necessary regular washing or care. In some cases with older chain link fences can begin to unlink and cause wires to stick out, but these can easily be cut with some wire cutters. Chain link fences simply stand on their own for years and give you peace of mind without impeding your busy life.
Chain link fencing is one of the quicker fencing materials available to install. The fencing itself is manufactured in rolls or panels meaning there is little assembly required by the installation contractor.
When the fencing comes in a roll it’s simply a matter of installing the fence posts, rolling out the fencing, and then finishing it off with the rails. When the fencing comes in panels it’s a very similar process. The contractor would need to install the fence posts and then hook up the panels which usually come with rails already attached.
All of this takes very little time compared to vinyl fencing or ornamental steel fencing which are more labor-intensive and have many smaller parts that need to be accounted for. The quick installation time of chain link fencing is one of its biggest draws for homeowners because the labor cost is lower than other types of fencing.
