All this talk of zombies in the media may have caused you to start thinking: “If the zombie apocalypse ever happened for real, would I be one of the survivors, or would I be we wandering around, dead-eyed, hungry for brains?” Well, Fence Supply Inc., your go-to fence company in Dallas, TX, is here to tell you how to zombie-proof your property in Dallas, TX with a chain link fence.
Here at Fence Supply Inc. we believe the best offense is a good defense, and we recommend a chain link fence in Dallas, TX for several reasons. First, they’re strong, and you need a strong fence to protect you against the swarming hordes. Second, you can see through them, so you can tell the difference between your flesh-hungry enemy and innocent victims fleeing their rampage. Third, a chain link fence in Dallas, TX offers the most cost effective solution for protecting your property.
Chain Link for Zombies
If you’re zombie-proofing your property, you’re going to want the strongest fence possible, and this is where chain link comes in. Chain link is made of galvanized steel wire, so it’s tough and rust-proof. You’d need wire cutters to get through a chain link fence, and zombies don’t have the brain function to operate those kinds of tools.
If you’re going to be installing a chain link fence in Dallas, TX to protect yourself from zombies, you want to make sure your fence is both tall enough and strong enough to keep them out. Fence Supply Inc. sells chain link fabric (the actual chain link part of the chain link fence) in heights from 4′-12′. Now, zombies can’t climb, it’s true, but you’re going to want a tall fence to make sure they won’t be able to climb up over the piles of zombies you’ve already slain and make it in that way. So we’d recommend a 6′-12′ chain link fence for your Dallas, TX property.
We also sell different thicknesses, or gauges, of wire for your chain link fence in Dallas, TX. The most important thing to remember is that in gauges, the smaller the number, the thicker the wire. So a gauge of 6 is thicker than a gauge of 8, and so on. At Fence Supply Inc. we sell chain link fabric from 11 1/2 gauge to 6. To protect against zombies’ swarming behavior, which could bring a weak fence down, we recommend the strongest, thickest gauge you can afford, a 6 or 8 at most, for your chain link fence in Dallas, TX.
See your enemy
You want to have clear views of what’s going around your property so you can properly anticipate the next zombie attack, but you don’t want to sacrifice strength and safety. Your chain link fence in Dallas, TX will allow you to clearly see any danger approaching, so you can take appropriate action. Also, what if your friends and neighbors escape and head for your sanctuary? You’ve got to be able to tell friend from foe, and your chain link fence in Dallas, TX will give you the sight lines to do so.
“But isn’t chain link fence ugly?” you might be saying. Well, it won’t look so ugly when it’s standing between you and drooling certain death. However, if you’d like something that is a little more attractive but just as sturdy as a traditional chain link fence in Dallas, TX, Fence Supply Inc. offers chain link fabric that is coated in either black or green vinyl, so your fence will look good while keeping you safe.
Cost effectiveness
Chain link fencing in Dallas, TX is one of the most cost-effective perimeter security solutions. Whether you need a protection for your business or your home, or you are looking for effective protection for your newest construction project, chain link will be the most affordable option to quickly and easily secure the premises.
With a chain link fence in Dallas, TX protecting you from the shuffling zombie hordes, you’ll have enough money left over to stock up on survival supplies and, ahem, anti-zombie munitions.
Fence Supply Inc. is the fence company in Dallas, TX that carries all the supplies you need to make your property a zombie-proof fortress with a chain link fence. We carry chain link fabric, chain link tubing and pipes, gates, accessories, and even temporary chain link barriers to keep you safe from zombies on the go.
Have you ever wondered whether vinyl fencing comes in any other colors than white? It seems like that’s all you can find when you look at vinyl fence models. Does it come in any other, darker colors? The short answer is it does, but most vinyl fence manufacturers don’t offer it and with good reason.
Vinyl fencing was born from the PVC pipe industry. It has long-term durability and structural integrity because of the base ingredient, PVC (polyvinyl chloride). Yet the PVC pipe industry forgot an important factor when they made their first vinyl fencing: ultraviolet rays break down PVC. This was overlooked because PVC pipe is typically behind walls and underground.
As vinyl fencing became more popular, customers began using it in more outdoor applications. Though for this to be accomplished something needed to be added to the vinyl to allow it to hold up to UV light rays, which is how titanium dioxide was introduced to the mix. Now, titanium dioxide is a main component in inhibiting these UV rays, meaning vinyl fences now offer long-term durability, flexibility and weather-ability.
How does this affect color?
Titanium dioxide is a white pigment, making it more difficult to manufacture vinyl fencing in darker colors, but recently fencing manufacturers have found ways to achieve this. The process involves tweaking some of the manufacturing steps to produce a durable and maintenance free-fence in many different, darker colors.
This is where the bigger problem comes into play.
Vinyl expands when heated. So when continually beaten by the sun’s UV rays, it begins to look more like taffy than a fence. And dark colors only amplify the warping of the vinyl, because the darker the fence, the more heat is attracted, and the more pliable and warped it becomes.
This is why you don’t typically see vinyl in dark colors. Vinyl, even with proper components, will store the sun’s radiant energy and cause the product to be hotter than the air temperature. A dark brown vinyl fence (versus white or lighter color) in the Texas sun could wind up drooping over or even laying flat out on your lawn.
In return, many reputable fencing companies have opted not to carry darker colors as an option so they can still guarantee lifetime warranties on their vinyl fences, as they know the light-colored vinyl fencing is able to hold up long-term to all conditions, including heat.
Something to note is these easy-to-care-for light colored vinyl fences hold up well to routine property maintenance, including most types of weed eaters. For those who have painted fences, you may quickly notice scratches and damage due to normal property maintenance. Painted fences need painting almost every year. Vinyl fences, due to the makeup of the product, really need little to no maintenance, ever.
Lastly, if you really want a dark colored vinyl fence, painting it is an option. An epoxy-based paint needs to be used on the smooth vinyl surfaces in order for proper adhering. One of the many pros to vinyl fencing is it does NOT require painting maintenance, so if you decide to paint it, you will need to know it will need to be repainted in time. Disclaimer: Painting your vinyl fence will more than likely result in loss of manufacturer’s warranty, so be sure to check before pulling out a spray gun.
