We have 5 foot chainlink around our backyard - it was that way when we bought it - but we put up privacy fence around the pool so the nosey neighbors won't stare at us all summer. I'd love to have a decorative fence in the front to keep all the neighborhood kids out. The bus stop is in front of our house and they use my front porch as shelter when it rains sometimes. I hate getting woke up at 7:15am by screaming and yelling kids on my porch.

My brother put up a 4 foot chainlink fence for his Blue Tick Coonhound and if Bart gets worked up enough he can jump it.
