Steep GM

This modern home has a large horizontal slat wooden privacy fence around the main outdoor backyard living area, but uses a tall chain link fence to secure the boundaries of the rest of the property.

Even if you don’t have plants that will grow up and through chain link fencing fabric like a trellis, you can still plant large, leggy flowers like this wild yellow daisy variant. The colorful blooms and sheer size of the plant can help camouflage a plain chain link mesh fence.

In older city neighborhoods, it’s more common to see chain link fencing at the front of the home than it is in newer neighborhoods. The chain link fence doesn’t obstruct the front of the home, making it a great option for displaying the beauty of this aged brick.

In a backyard, a chain link fence can be used to separate the landscaping from a neighbor’s yard, to keep pets in (or out!), and generally mark the borders of the yard.
