Easy. Paint it black.
I know how that sounds, but you may notice when driving thru upscale neighborhoods that their fencing is usually black.
You can see their landscaping beautifully because the black doesn’t catch the sun or distract the eye the way white fencing does.
If you choose to dress it up more than that, cut off or bend those triangular top wires above the round raid, and cover/hide those top edges with a wood
“railing”.
Well from what I can see in the pictures it doesn't seem to serve any purpose. I would take it down! But if you can't I say that maybe like the other person suggested is paint it to make it a little nicer! Might be a little tedious though!Good luck hope your able to come up with something to dress it up a little.
You need a railing if the deck height above the ground exceeds the code in your area. You can install glass panel railings to save the view.
My chain link is obscured by out of control ForsythIs. I’d forgotten about the linkage, or haven’t had enough coffee.
Best of luck. I think they’ll like it painted.
How about put flowers there so they can climb up the fence, hence hiding the fence
You can plant English ivy, or Jasmine in the ground or big pretty pots, if you like you could use pots that you could spray paint with glow in the dark paint. The plants I mentioned are fast growing climbers.
You mentioned wire railings, but not fencing.
If you have no desire for a fence, but still want railing for security or steadying your walk through that path, have you considered taking the chain link off the rails, but leave the rails and paint them whatever color you fancy?
That would serve the purpose of allowing the view to become even more unobstructed.
There are plastic inserts that fit in between the fencing . Of course it’ll make your fencing a privacy fence. I only know of two colors they come in , black and white.
You could plant morning glory or honeysuckle but that dies out in the winter. It’ll also damage the fence if it grows between the fence.
Good Luck ☘️!
