Galvanized vs. Vinyl-Coated Chain Link: What's the Difference?
Galvanized chain link is the classic silver mesh — affordable, tough, and rust-resistant thanks to its zinc coating. Vinyl-coated chain link adds a layer of PVC over the galvanized wire, available in black, green, or brown. Beyond looks, the coating adds corrosion protection and helps the fence blend into landscaping. Black vinyl-coated mesh practically disappears against trees and shrubs, which is why it's popular for residential yards where homeowners want security without the industrial appearance.
