Basics About Chain Link Fences

Well before Abraham Lincoln ever became known as “the log splitter,” fences have played an important role in the development of America. Consider that the American Dream for many is a house with a white picket fence.

Nowadays, fences are not restricted to wooden pickets or split rails. They come in all varieties, including aluminum, steel, wrought iron, vinyl, barbed wire, bamboo, and temporary plastic fencing.

Safe and Beautiful Pool Fences

According to the USA Swimming Foundation, between Memorial Day and Labor Day 2013, at least 202 American children under age 14 drowned in a swimming pool or spa. Almost three-quarters of those children were younger than 5 years old.

Fencing in your property will deter theft, because most intruders are just looking for a quick and easy break-in.
