Chain link is one of the most common fences. This series of pipe support posts and small diamond-shaped, heavy-gauge wire fabric is very strong. The holes in the fabric are too small for most dogs to penetrate. Most professional kennels use chain link in their fencing and dog runs. It is available in a variety of heights and installing barbed wire arms is easy. Zoning laws seem to allow its use where many other forms of fencing are prohibited. It hardly obstructs the view and is a strong deterrent to intruders. Chain link is fairly expensive, but it lasts longer than many other types of fences

Chain link is a popular fence choice because of its affordability, ease of installation and transparency. Chain link fencing is a more affordable alternatives wood, PVC or iron fencing, making it an economical alternative for enclosing large areas. Because chain link is basically transparent it is popular for use in dog kennels to keep an eye on pets and by some gardeners as it allows sunlight to pass through.

Galvanized steel makes chain link fences extremely durable and strong, ideal for the Orlando and Central Florida area climate. The fence can also be covered in green or black vinyl, further protecting the steel from the elements while adding a decorative appearance to your fence.Once the chain link fence is installed correctly there is no ongoing maintenance required to keep it looking new for years. The fence can be hosed off using soap and water to keep it shiny and clean.

A chain link fence can be installed with a variety of gauges, or thickness of the metal mesh used in the fence. The thicker the gauge the longer it can be galvanized during manufacturing, making the fence less susceptible to corrosion or rust.
