The most important aspect regarding chain fencing is that chain fencing is very effective in providing high security for any location- whether residential and industrial. While a chain link fence is reliable, durable, and long-lasting (as it is able to secure large areas of both residential and commercial property), it does not provide any privacy.  If you are looking to install a fence for privacy reasons, you would be better off selecting another material that will provide your property with full coverage. Despite the opinions of numerous people stating that chain fencing is not visually appealing, it countenance can be enhanced by painting it, utilizing fence slats, or by increasing vegetation growth around it.
