Actually, in my opinion, properly installed chain link fences are much
more attractive than any wooden or picket fence, unless you've got a
horse farm. I especially like the newer black chain link which tends
to disappear into the background. Wooden fences arbitrarily lean here
and there, are uneven along the tops, break, discolor, etc. - and
block your vision so that yards look like they're tiny. I think
they're ugly.
