Hi Folks,
Great Group.

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 ?
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.

Thanks,
Bob
