**Chain Link as a Work of Art?**

Having grown up in a neighborhood where the lawns flowed into one another, when some new folks moved in and put up a stark chain link fence around the perimeter of their property, the neighbors were collectively horrified. Mercifully, they grew ivy on it. However, a new type of fencing has been introduced by the Demakersvan design studio in Holland. Called Lace Fence, it is a combination of chain link fabric and the art of lace-making.

The design possibilities - from floral themes to contemporary patterns and designs - are infinite. And you can submit your own designs. With this opportunity to customize each job, every lace fence is unique. Chain link fencing, a basic functional fence, can become a decorative and attractive* work of art*.

**Imagining the Possibilities**

Lace Fence can be woven from both 11 and 12½ gauge wires, either galvanized or vinyl coated. The wire mesh is securely clamped to a tubular frame.  
There are many different types of locations - both interior and exterior - where Lace Fence is currently in use, including but not limited to:

> > - Barrier fences in parks and other public areas
> > - Interior partitions in banks, restaurants, hotels, and gyms
> > - Railing safety mesh on stairways, decks, and balconies
> > - Decorative panels on the facades of commercial buildings
> > - Safety fences on apartment buildings
> > - Museum displays

What do you think about Lace Fencing? Do you think it's attractive?

Is it more appropriate for use in a public or commercial setting rather than around a residence?
