Pros and cons of chain-link fence.
As for the pros: the cost is the lowest among all types of fences. There's nothing cheaper, except a hedge, but even that is debatable - it will need care. Installation is simple and quick. Durability, but only if the chain-link has a protective coating, as we wrote above. The fence doesn't provide shade, it lets air in. It can be used as the basis for a hedge. It does not require maintenance. It can withstands heavy loads, it is much more difficult to break such a fence than a wooden one. If you pull the barbed wire on top, it will be quite a serious obstacle. Although not insurmountable. As for the cons: lack of shade, air pass is good, but the downside is the transparency of this fence. If you want to hide from the eyes of other people, then the chain-link is definitely not your choice. To the previous point can be added the lack of soundproofing, dust penetration into the site. This is not always relevant, but nevertheless it is important. The aesthetic is not the highest, and even one of the lowest. Only a fence made of old and rotten boards or corrugated board (cheap with an unfortunate color) will look worse. However, this is solved by the issue of creating a hedge, which takes time. Of course, the most important factor why people choose chain-link is its cost. The cost of not only buying the material, but also the installation. To the pluses can be attributed the speed of construction of such a fence. Especially when you need to make a temporary fence.
What are the types of mesh fences ?
•The first type is a tension fence without guides. The easiest and fastest way is for workers to simply dig in the poles and fix the mesh.
•Stretch fence with guides.
Workers additionally install crossbars, e.g. made of wood. This design is slightly more expensive than the previous one, but it is more durable.
•Sectional fence.
Metal frames are attached to the pillars, on which the mesh is already stretched. The design is very durable and the strongest, but the cost is the highest.
Chain link fence posts.
•Wooden poles. A cheap option, it is very convenient to attach a chain-link to them. You can take both poles and timber.
•Profile pipes. The middle option for all parameters, the mesh is fixed with special clamps or wire. A plug is placed on top of the pipe to prevent water from getting in.
•Metal poles. Not the cheapest option, but very durable.
Fir is widely known for being exceptionally durable and has a high-quality appearance with a straight, even grain with random knots depending on the variety. It is usually light brown with shades of red or yellow. You can also paint this wood to get the desired color. Fir does have some natural resistance to rot, even if it is not treated. The wood can be treated with a protective finish to make it even more durable.

Wooden canopies and patios perfectly fit into the design of any yard. Constructions made of any kind of wood will look organic and practical in any landscape. Unlike wood, metal structures provide a maintenance-free finish and durability. The difference is easy to notice. Metal surface protection increases resistance to dirt and stains, providing ease of cleaning. Sheets of profiled flooring, polycarbonate sheets, glass, metal profile, wood and other waterproof materials can be used as a roofing.
Canopy from polycarbonate
The latest polycarbonate sheet production technologies make it resistant to harsh ultraviolet rays – the period of use increases to twenty years or more. The transparent polycarbonate passes more than 90% of the solar sheets - a polycarbonate canopy attached to the house does not require additional artificial lighting. The sheets have different thicknesses, the number and geometry. There are options for manufacturing canopies from monolithic polycarbonate. Monolithic polycarbonate can be flat or wavy (profiled).
Polycarbonate Advantage
1. Manufacturability. Such awnings depending on the size and architectural characteristics can be built in one working day. During the production of works, there is no need to use special tools and equipment – polycarbonate is easily cut, drilled and fastened, it can be bent taking into account the shape of the rafter system.
2. Chemical inertness. Polycarbonate does not react with most chemical compounds, including aggressive ones.Canopies can be installed both at home in suburban areas and in urban areas. The surface of the canopy isn't destroyed by urban smog.
3. Resistance to ultraviolet rays. The latest technology protects the material from hard ultraviolet radiation. These rays are considered to be the main enemy of all polymers, their impact materials lose plasticity and become brittle. The processes are irreversible due to the breakdown of the intermolecular bonds. Modern polycarbonate hardly deteriorates its initial physical performance in open spaces.
4. Easy maintenance The perfectly smooth surface of the canopy attached to the house minimizes the amount of accumulated dust, the canopy does not require frequent washing. In addition, polycarbonate is qualitatively cleaned with ordinary detergents or under strong water pressure.
5. High mechanical strength. Physical strength indicators relative to weight are the highest of all used covering materials.
6. Light weight. Light weight allows you to save on the construction of the foundation and the frame of the canopy. In some cases, it is possible to do without the construction of concrete types of foundations – the construction time is reduced by several weeks, that is how much time is needed for concrete to solidify.
Polycarbonate canopy, attached to the house, can have a variety of colors, sizes and shapes. The colored polycarbonate does not change the shade all the time of use, protects against harmful ultraviolet rays and does not prevent the penetration of sunlight.
Canopies made of profiled flooring.
The thickness of the corrugated sheeting is very small, zinc and polymer coatings are used for corrosion protection. Polycarbonate has special wavelengths that increase the bending strength, due to this technology sheets can hold significant loads.
