What types of fence are used for recreational purposes?
This really depends on what you are trying to accomplish. Chain link fence has been the standard for years for ball fields and continues to be so today; it is highly durable, functional, and cost effective solution for most applications. Its use on ball fields is unparalleled because of its durable nature. Chain link continues to be the mainstay for tennis courts. The size of the mesh between the wires is typically less than that used on ball fields to prevent tennis balls from passing through the mesh. The chain link framework will support the windscreen that is frequently installed around tennis courts. A more attractive alternative to the traditional galvanized is the vinyl-coated version. The vinyl coated chain link places a colored vinyl coating over the galvanized chain link giving the chain link the “color”. There are a number of choices: black, brown, dark green, and light green.
What other types of fence are appropriate for recreational use?
There are types of fencing other than chain link that have recreational applications. The most common example is around swimming pools. PVC vinyl fence and ornamental fencing are used around swimming pools to provide security and as well as creating an asthetic apperance. There are a many styles to choose from allowing the customer to customize their fence to their particular personal style. Care should be taken to ensure that the style that you choose will meet swimming pool code requirements in your area. A quality fence contractor will help you select a style that conforms to city code. |
