For years, chain link fences have kept properties secure at an affordable cost. Unfortunately, during this time, many myths have also popped up that gave people doubts about their usefulness. The fence contractors at David’s Fencing in Waipahu, HI, have heard several of these rumors throughout the years, which is why they’re here to dispel the most common ones.

3 Chain Link Fence Myths Busted

1. Not Safe for Pets or Children

Today’s chain link fences are much safer than they were in years past. The edge wires are now always turned inwards and secured safely in place. If you still feel uneasy about having your pets or small children around them, however, then consider investing in safety covers. These are easy to install and will give you peace of mind. 

2. Doesn’t Last Long

Actually, most chain link fences are quite durable, and better yet, they don’t require much care to keep them in good shape. While they can accrue some rust, you can prevent any damage from occurring just by cleaning them periodically with a pressure washer and treating them with a rust-prevention paint.

3. Makes a Lot of Noise

Unless you live somewhere that experiences a lot of heavy, gale-force winds, a chain link fence is no more likely to produce a noticeable sound than any other type of material. As long as a professional fence contractor has installed it, the heavy-gauge wire should never make strange sounds.

No matter what type of property you own, a properly installed fence can help secure it. At the locally owned and operated David’s Fencing, their fence contractors have experience with everything from installation to repairs.
