Chain Link Fences
Black Vinyl Coated Fence
Coated fabric that visually recedes against a tree line. Chain link you stop noticing after a week.
Who buys this fence, and why
You want chain link that disappears. Black coated fabric recedes against a tree line or a dark fence, so you notice the yard rather than the wire. It is the usual choice for a back line onto a greenbelt, a creek or a park. Owners who need the security of mesh but do not want to look at it every morning end up here. It also suits a play area, where a black line reads as landscaping rather than as security.
What your money buys
The steel fabric carries a bonded vinyl coat over the galvanizing, and the posts, rails and gate frames carry the same coat. The build is otherwise the same as a plain galvanized run. The color is the whole difference, and from twenty feet away it is a large one. Heights and gate options match the galvanized line. Line posts, terminal posts and rails come in different weights, and a quote should name which ones you are getting.
What to settle before the crew arrives
Decide the height, then confirm that the posts and rails carry the coat and not just the fabric. Half coated fences are common and they start looking wrong inside a year. Tell us where the gates go and how wide. Mention any trees along the fence, because clearance changes how we set the line. Tell us if a gate has to clear a slope, since a swing gate on a rise needs the hinge side planned.
What it asks of you once it is up
Wash it once a year. Check the coating anywhere a trimmer reaches, since a nick lets water at the steel underneath. Keep vines off the fabric. Walk the line each spring and look at the tension, particularly at the corners, where the whole fence pulls hardest. The coating is the thing you are protecting, so a nick is worth a dab of touch-up paint the week you see it.
Why the Johnson build is the one to buy
A salesperson measures the fence line in your yard, so the number is yours and not a guess at it, and it covers the tear-out and the haul-off. A hundred crews put it up on the date we gave you, most of them in a day. One year of craftsmanship on the work, and not one callback on twenty thousand jobs last year.
