Chain link is a standard fencing option. It is durable, does not rust, does not need painting, and requires minimal upkeep. However, your chain-link fencing may not be as attractive as you want it. Discover some ideas to transform your chain-link fencing.
With this idea, a fencing expert will use fence boards to cover the metal. As a result, you will achieve a more natural look to your fence. Take note that wooden panels are susceptible to wear and tear and termites. Therefore, you will have to maintain them regularly.
You can use rolled bamboo fencing to hide unattractive chain-link fencing. All your fencing professional will do is wire the bamboo to the chain-link fence using copper wire. This will hide the unappealing chain-link fence between the bamboo fencing.
Privacy slats come in different colors like green, black, gray, and blue. The slats go on top of the chain link and feature a top and bottom locking mechanism. One of the attractive options for privacy slats is vinyl wood fence slats.
You can also opt for aluminum slats, which you can combine to create different patterns and colors that complement your aesthetic. If you prefer the look of plants, go for hedge slats. You can insert these slats into your fence so they mimic the look of a hedge.
Chain-link fences come with a dull silver-gray color that, to some, is unattractive and gloomy. Painting an old chain-link fence can help. Although you can use a wide variety of colors, hunter green or black colors blend into the background and can make your fence look less obtrusive. Many homeowners prefer rust-resistant paint because it minimizes the effects of rust on metal.
Planting shrubs, bushes, or flowers next to fences can distract people from unsightly chain link. You can leave vines to grow up the fence and cover it completely. Some vines you can use for this purpose include passion vine, morning glory, creeping fig, and ivy.
When you decide to grow plants through your fence, determine whether to use flowering or evergreen plants. Avoid toxic vines since they can affect pets, children, and other people around your neighborhood.
Another similar idea to planting greenery is creating a living screen. One approach to designing a living screen is using cedar hedges. Note that cedar hedges take long to grow and are labor-intensive. However, these hedges enable you to achieve maximum privacy.
Lights in your landscape are an intelligent way to transform your chain-link fence. When plotting your fence, look out for ideal spots where you can install outdoor bulbs. Vertical poles provide a firm and level surface for placing lights. The benefit of landscape lights is that you can use different colors. The best time to use landscape lights is during foggy weather when the colors and illumination make your chain link look vibrant.
Over time, your chain link fence may wear out and make your landscape look unattractive. Many homeowners may find it expensive to install a new fence. Therefore, use any of these cost-effective tips to restore the glory of your chain-link fence.
