Galvanized vs PVC-Coated Chain-Link Fence: Which Is Better?

Introduction

Chain-link fencing is available in two primary finishes:

1. Hot-dip galvanized (silver steel)

2. PVC-coated (polymer-coated over galvanized wire)

Choosing the right option affects durability, appearance, and cost. Here is a direct comparison.
