Another Fence Bites the Dust: From Chain Link to Pressure-Treated Wood

September 21, 2025
Fence Installation, Keswick

At Chase Contracting, nothing is more satisfying than transforming a property with a fresh, functional, and beautifully built upgrade. One of our latest projects gave us the chance to do just that. An old, worn-out chain link fence had reached the end of its lifespan, and it was time for something better. Our team stepped in to replace it with a brand-new pressure-treated wooden fence—and the results were night and day.

This wasn’t just a replacement project. It was a complete transformation that brought privacy, style, and durability to a property that had been lacking all three. The difference was immediate, and the homeowners were thrilled with how much more polished and secure their yard felt.

Why Chain Link Doesn’t Always Cut It

Chain link fencing has its place. It’s cost-effective, quick to install, and serves the basic purpose of marking boundaries. But when it comes to long-term curb appeal and creating a welcoming backyard environment, it often falls short.

Over time, chain link fences can sag, rust, and lose their structural integrity. They offer little privacy, and in many cases, they make a property feel exposed. While functional, they rarely add beauty or value to a home.

That’s why more and more homeowners are choosing to upgrade. A wooden fence not only secures the yard but also enhances its appearance, blending naturally into the landscape while offering a level of privacy and durability chain link simply can’t match.

Why Pressure-Treated Wood Was the Right Choice

For this project, we recommended pressure-treated lumber, one of the most reliable fencing materials available. Treated with preservatives that penetrate deep into the wood, pressure-treated lumber resists rot, moisture damage, and insect infestations far better than untreated wood.

The rich brown color gives the fence a finished, modern look right from the start, while still allowing for future customization. Down the road, the homeowners can stain or paint the fence if they want to personalize it further. Best of all, it’s built to last through Ontario’s tough weather conditions, from hot summers to icy winters.

Out with the Old, In with the New

The project started with the careful removal of the existing chain link fence. Once the old fencing was cleared, we prepared the site for the new build. Every post was set securely, ensuring the fence would remain strong and stable for years to come.

As the new wooden fence went up, the transformation became more and more obvious. The solid panels provided instant privacy, creating a defined, sheltered space that the homeowners could enjoy without feeling overlooked. The natural wood tones added warmth to the yard, making the whole property feel more inviting.

By the time the project was finished, the backyard had gone from functional but uninspiring to private, stylish, and secure.

The Benefits of a Wooden Fence Upgrade

Replacing a chain link fence with a pressure-treated wood design doesn’t just improve looks—it changes how the space is used and enjoyed. Some of the biggest benefits include:

  • Privacy and security: A solid wood fence creates a true boundary, keeping pets and kids safe while giving homeowners peace of mind.

  • Curb appeal: Wooden fencing blends seamlessly into landscaping and enhances the overall look of the property.

  • Noise reduction: Unlike chain link, a wooden fence helps reduce outside noise, making the backyard quieter and more relaxing.

  • Added value: A high-quality fence is an investment that increases property appeal and resale value.

  • Customization options: Height, style, and finish can all be tailored to suit the homeowner’s preferences.

For this particular project, the homeowners not only gained a sturdier and more attractive fence but also a backyard that feels like a true extension of their home.
