Chain Link Fence Installation Specialists FAQs for Lower Merion Homeowners
Is black chain link better than galvanized?
Yes. The vinyl coating on black chain link protects the steel core from rust and blends much better with landscaping, making it virtually invisible from a distance.
Can you make chain link private?
Yes. We can install privacy slats (available in various colors) which slide vertically into the mesh to block visibility.
How safe is it for kids?
Modern chain link installations have 'knuckled' edges on the top and bottom (bent over) rather than 'twisted' sharp barbs, making them safe for residential play areas.
Do I need a permit for a fence in Lower Merion Township?
Yes, Lower Merion Township requires a building permit for all fences over 6 feet in height and a zoning permit for all new fence installations. We help navigate the specific Main Line codes to ensure your project is fully compliant.
What are the fence height restrictions in Lower Merion?
Residential properties in Lower Merion typically allow fences up to 4 feet in front yards and 6 feet in side and rear yards. However, there are specific rules for corner lots and heritage properties that we verify for every client.
Do you install pool-compliant fencing in Lower Merion?
Absolutely. We specialize in BOCA-compliant aluminum and vinyl fencing that meets the rigorous safety standards required for Lower Merion residential pools, ensuring both safety and aesthetic appeal.
What is the best material for a privacy fence in Lower Merion?
For the historic and upscale feel of the Main Line, many clients choose our premium Western Red Cedar or our realistic wood-grain vinyl systems. Both provide excellent privacy while maintaining a high-end estate look.
