chain link fences

Diamond-pattern metal enclosures

Chain link fences are barriers made from woven wire mesh in a distinctive diamond pattern, typically galvanized steel.

They're common for securing yards, playgrounds, and industrial sites—functional rather than decorative.

The plural usually refers to this type of fencing generally: The whole neighborhood was surrounded by chain link fences.
