A common material used for enclosing areas like backyards, sport fields, playgrounds and industrial areas, chain link fencing is a very versatile and affordable option for residential and commercial customers. Also known as hurricane or cyclone fencing, due to its durability and ability to withstand gale force winds, chain link fencing is a type of fence that is made of woven, inter-locking steel wire. The stability comes from steel posts that are cemented into the earth before attaching the affordable fencing material.
