Chain link fences are fantastic for a lot of different reasons. They are some of the most affordable fences to have installed and are practically maintenance free. They are also extremely strong and weather resistant. If you leave your chain link fence how it is then it can look a bit plain and it won't offer you any privacy at all. However, just one more of the wonderful things about them is there are so many ways you can change their look and even convert them into more of a privacy fence. Here are some great inexpensive ways to change the entire look and feel of your fence:
Install lattice along the fence yourself
You can purchase lattice that you can install on your own. There are different types of this material so you can achieve the look you imagined. You may find that the best type of lattice for you to go with will be the vinyl lattice. It may cost a little bit more than some of the other materials initially, but it will also withstand weather damage and other types of damage better and this means that you will save money in the long run.
Install vinyl slats through the chain link fence
You can get vinyl slats indifferent styles. They come in a thin width so you can still see a good amount through the fence and they come in a wider width that really helps you to achieve more privacy. You can put the slats through the linkage so they go straight up and down along the fence or you can put them in so they go diagonal. The way you choose to put the through is a personal choice that doesn't change things like their durability.
Attach wooden panels along the chain link fence
If you decide you would like a wooden fence instead of the chain link, then you have to have the current chain link fence removed and then have a wooden fence built. This can take time, effort and a good deal of money. There is a far easier, faster and more affordable way for you to get that wooden looking fence you would like. You can install these on your own with the help of another person who can hold them up to the fence while you attach them. You can stain or paint these home fencing panels to achieve the exact desired affect that you are going for with your fence.
