Black Powder Coated Chain Link Fence vs Wood Pine

[Sean Pedeflous]

I own a duplex in Fayetteville Arkansas and the city is buying part of my backyard to add a trail which connects to a great local park. As part of the deal, they are paying me to take some of the backyard. It's a large yard that overlooks trees and such. I thought a great value add would be to add a fence to buy units (with a divider).

I'm trying to decide what the best kind of fence would be: pine vs powder coated chain link? They are about the same cost (which surprised me) but for a rental property that is really probably mostly for pets, I'm concerned about maintenance and upkeep. Has anyone had any success of failures with picking the wrong kind of fence for their property? Any insight would be great.

Go with the chain link....you will never have to redo it. And it's sturdier IMO....no posts to rot out..
