I'm replacing my patchy grass with playground mulch for my dogs in their yard area. Did a small area last year and now expanding it. Know it's only a matter of time before neighbor complains about the mulch in their yard thru chainlink fence. Saw those slates you weave into links...will they work? Thought about a piece of vinyl siding along bottom. I don't want to cover whole fence, just like 6-8 inches from ground. The black landscape edging is ugly. any suggestions?

Just a thought: Can you put a mesh piece all my the bottom, kind of like a bumper guard, that matches your fence? You could tack it under a bit so it’s under the soil, and spray paint it if it’s too unattractive.
I thought perhaps getting a sheet of plexiglass (which is clear) and cut strips the height you want. Then drill holes in the plexiglass and attach it to the fence with wire ties (cut off the excess on these...the ties come in green too).
YOu can put a 1 X 6 edging board against the fence. Vinyl siding would do also.
How about that black plastgardenic garden edging that comes in a roll you could poke holes in it and zip/cable tie it to the chain link.
Is the playground mulch you refer to the ground tires? If so I suggest you do some research about the health problems this rubber mulch is causing with children. I sure wouldn't want to subject my fur-babies the lung problems that some children have contracted from this mulch.
A line of bricks, plastic edging, big rocks, wood landscape timbers - lots of choices.
