Whether you are installing a pool or tennis court in your yard, or you are helping your community build a sports field, chances are you need a high-quality fence. Whether it's wood or a chain link fence, a good sports barrier should be durable, but also pliable. It should be able to keep balls and other equipment from leaving the field, while also providing athletes with a certain sense of security. General Fence in Elko, NV, has helped to design sports fencing for both residential and commercial clients in the community for several years. Here, they describe the benefits of a few forms of fencing for backyards and sports arenas.

1. Chain Link Fences

Chain link fences are the most popular form of sports fencing. Chain link fences are both durable and pliable; they are able to hold the weight of a player should they fall on it, yet the fence will still retain its shape. Additionally, the holes in chain link fences are small enough to protect items such as a ball, frisbee, or other sporting equipment from being lost through the cracks.

2. Vinyl Fencing

At a swimming pool, you still want the sense of safety that a fence affords, but you may also want a little more privacy than you get with a chain link fence. Additionally, the fence near a swimming pool is less likely to endure the impact of a fence in a soccer stadium or baseball field, so it doesn’t have to be as pliable. A vinyl fence allows swimmers to stay protected will also maintaining a sense of privacy.

3. Welded Wire Fencing

Welded wire fencing has seen an increase in popularity for sports such as tennis and basketball. Welded wire fences are similar to chain link fences, but feature rectangular cut-outs. Welded wire fences are also stiffer and less pliable than chain link fences, making them ideal for sports where you want to prevent a ball from flying out of the arena, but you may not have to worry about athletes landing on the fence.
