Decorating my chain link fence

Don't plant any kind of flower to climb on fence that is big vines as it could pull fence down plant flowers that don't climb, hedge that grows high to top of fence and keep trimmed to the top of fence. that way it hides fence, the pretty ones that change color in fall, don't know name of them. Good luck on what you do.

The Rehab Addict show once showed how to cover up a chainlink fence with wood and made it look like a picket fence. Look them up online.😯

Oh I too have a ugly chain link...love the picket fence idea...would love to see what you decided to do with yours Kay Varino,

Paint it green using the right paint of course. It isn't very visable then.

I would spray paint it shiny black first and then put the bamboo behind it for privacy. At that point, you could decorate the fence with artificial flowers or vines if you don't want to plant real ones that climb. Or, you could install planter boxes at different levels and plant herbs to use in your cooking. It really depends on what you want to take care of and what you're interested in. If it were mine, I would use it for the herbs since I like using fresh herbs while cooking.

I once had a neighbor who grew climbing red roses along the chain link fence we shared between our yards. He did all the pruning and cultivating and I got to enjoy the view.

Clematis, clematis, and more clematis!!!! It is the most beautiful vining flowers I have ever seen & it can withstand Montana winters so you should have no problems with it coming back every year. It's lush, fairly quick spreading, easy to care for, and the colors & size of the flowers take my breath away. I believe you would never regret planting them.

Ok, I admit it, I am a clematis addict!!! I just moved this winter and can't wait to start again. I grieved leaving my last place simply due to giving up my clematis but my new house has a chain link fence so its ok. The dark purple are my fav. They remind me of hibiscus flowers. It's as close to Hawaii as I will get. 🌺🌺🌺 Good luck, the possibilities are endless for you to have a real show piece fence. PS: my friend plants flowers in the burlap bags that her rice comes in, zip ties them to her fence and has very nice "potted" flowers along her fence line every summer.

In the past I bought rolls of bamboo panels and wired then onto chain link fence. Absolutely no damage to the chain link and the bamboo provided a wonderfu, natural appearance and also privacy. All that is needed are the rolls of bamboo, flexible wire, and something to cut the wire. Hold the bamboo taut as you place the wire, and know this can be done easily by one person.

Black chain link is not as visible as the silver chain link. Paint it with a fleece car wash mitt. Be sure and wear a rubber glove on your hand or it will be black too.

Put a solar light on it, so it will hang, and lite up at night. This would be lovely, or there is also a pattern of cans that you can punch holes in a can, and put a solor lite in it, and this is a cute idea, too. Both these ideas, will lite up at night. Keep looking for ideas, or go to a hardware store, and look at the info books, on this idea. Beat wishes.

Just wired (stainless wire) picket fence panels to chain link. Wood panels don't touch

the soil and the chain link almost disappears. I then put sap buckets that I attached

with wire hooks on chain link between pickets and filled with flowers. No digging!
