We decorate the chain-link mesh with plastic cups
Plastic cups can be used for their intended purpose, or they can be used in an original way. One of the unusual uses for plastic cups is to use them to create paintings on a chain-link mesh.
Choose a design (it can be something very simple like a heart or a sun, or a real picture with a smooth transition of colors and many shades) and apply it to the mesh, for example, with paints. Then you buy colorful cups and start creating, pushing them into the cells according to the picture.

There is a more budget option - for those who have deposits of plastic bottles. Before creating a pattern on the chain-link, the bottles need to be painted in the desired colors. And then everything is the same as in the case of cups.

The options offered by folk craftsmen are simply amazing and make you marvel at the imagination of the owners of old fences and rejoice at their inexhaustible optimism.

It turns out that if you think about it a little, decorating a fence with your own hands is a completely simple task in which you can get by with anything:
- the mesh is decorated with macrame, hand-made weaving from old rope, hung pots of flowers, cross-stitch from old knitting threads, plastic lamellas stretched through links in the form of a braid (the same can be done with thin smooth branches);
- a wooden picket fence is decorated with improvised frames from construction waste, old rubber boots, clay pots, plastic bottle caps, framed paintings, ancient mirrors and even simple glass jars;
- the concrete fence is decorated with applications made from random objects, painting, airbrushing, artistic rope weaving techniques, improvised flower beds, plastic bottles;
- The fence in the kindergarten is created as brightly as possible, with voluminous appliques, funny figures from plastic bottles, multi-colored weaving, flower borders - the main thing is that it is as colorful as possible.

It’s not even difficult for craftsmen to figure out how to decorate a fence made of corrugated sheets. And this is a topic for a separate conversation.
Example of decorating a fence
Second life of plastic bags
Do you have a package with packages? Perhaps it’s time to give plastic bags a second life: they, just like bottles and cups, can be used to decorate chain-link mesh.
There can be many options. The bags can be cut into long strips and designs can be created using the strips by inserting polyethylene into the mesh holes.
Or you can make the strips shorter and simply tie them onto the mesh in a certain sequence, creating either a pattern or bright colored spots.
If you have few bags, but whole bags of old clothes, you can use mesh and rags to decorate. Cut it into strips and thread them into the cells (see bottom right photo in the collage).
Planks and branches
Long objects can be inserted vertically or horizontally into the mesh cells of the chain-link so that the fence is not transparent and looks prettier, choose:
- plastic slats;
- wooden planks;
- branches and twigs;
- bamboo, reed or reed;
- artificial needles.
Decorating a chain-link mesh with natural materials is easy and inexpensive, but your work will last at most 2-3 seasons if you do not cover the wood with a protective compound. But ready-made slats made of a stable polymer alloy or coniferous branches, like those from which folding Christmas trees are assembled, not only look impressive and neat, but also last a long time.
Original decoration of chain-link mesh

The most interesting and original way to decorate a chain-link mesh, which was discovered on the World Wide Web, is to use tennis balls. First, a drawing is created, which is then applied to the mesh in any way. After this, all that remains is to push the balls into the holes of the net, focusing on the drawing. The effect is simply amazing, although, of course, this method of decorating the fencing of a site cannot be called budget-friendly.
Mesh cost
In order to find out how much a chain-link fence costs, you need approximate calculations:
- a type of chain-link mesh;
- fence height;
- installation method;
- type of support;
- fence length.
Since the market price of chain-link mesh does not differ much in the regions, you can calculate the approximate cost. To build a fence 50 meters long and 1.8 meters high, you need to buy 52 linear meters of mesh. The average price of a mesh of this height is about 300 rubles. After mathematical operations we get the result: 15,600 rubles.
Many site owners choose chain-link mesh because it has a lot of positive qualities.
“Living” fence is always in trend
Another simple and familiar way to many summer residents to decorate a chain-link fence is to grow any climbing plants along it. The mesh will be an excellent support for bindweed, clematis or morning glory, and a nondescript lattice fence will “come to life” and be transformed.
Of course, the flowering time of these plants mainly falls in the summer, so such decoration of the fence will be temporary. But a hedge can still be made from trees and shrubs, which remain decorative for a long time. Thus, thuja, yew, climbing rose, rose hips and spirea will not only decorate an inconspicuous fence, but will also close the area from prying eyes.
It is worth paying attention to fruit-bearing crops: they are especially good during the ripening of fruits. Such plants include blackberries, chokeberries, cotoneaster, hornbeam, bladderwort, hawthorn, jasmine, barberry, and privet. Such a fence has only one drawback: the bushes require attention.
Whatever hedge option you choose, rest assured that the appearance of the fence, enriched with plants, will change immediately.
Photo grid - “wallpaper” for the fence
A polymer mesh with an image printed on it will help you quickly transform your fence. The photo grid is very durable, withstands bad weather well, and does not fade. The design is applied to it only on one side, the reverse side is white, but it can be painted if desired.
Chain-link mesh is a fairly popular fencing material. It is cheap, has a long service life, and does not visually limit the area. However, it also has disadvantages: it is impossible to hide behind it from prying glances, and it looks uninteresting. We hope our ideas will help you make your chain-link fence more original.
