Durability
Vinyl-coated chain link fences can often last longer as compared to their galvanised counterparts due to the protective layer surrounding the metal. This covering protects the fence against corrosion due to weather conditions. As galvanised fences do not have this protective layer, they tend to corrode faster.
Aesthetics
Vinyl-coated chain link fences are more aesthetically pleasing than galvanised fences as they can come in a wide range of colours including black, green and white. Thus, they may be preferred for locations like schools.
