Hi Folks,
Great Forums.
Hope to learn about something from you folks first prior to calling in some Contractors.
Thinking of a fence for our backyard.
Know nothing about fences.
Want an "open look," so I guess that means a chain link type of.
Other suggestions ?
What material should I consider for a chain link type ?
What is popular ?
What are the options, and pros and cons ?
e.g., does the Vinyl coated steel (I imagine it's steel underneath) make any sense ? Pros and cons of ? Does it hold-up over the years, or not ?
Is the steel underneath Galvanized, or do they skip this step if Vinyl coated ?
What about just Galvanized Steel ?
Does the Galv. hold up, or needs painting (often) ?
BTW: For a typical home backyard kinda thing, are the Posts put in Concrete for a "good" job ? How deep should they be ?
Any and all thoughts and suggestions would be most appreciated.
Not even sure, frankly, what to ask.
Thanks,
Realize it's a lot of questions.
