I agree with what Andrew said, but, as with many new products, you'd probably see that type of fence being used first by a commercial concern, such as a factory or other industrial site. Even then, I doubt that its use would be widespread in your modelling era. Most homes would opt for a board fence or hedge.
I think that window screen would be hard to work with, though - most nowadays is fibreglass or aluminum, with steel, I believe, no longer available. You can purchase a half-mile-or-so
of chain link at any fabric store for a couple of bucks. Ask for tulle (pronounced tool), and select the one whose openings appear most suitable to your scale. While you're there, check out the faux fur, too - some of it makes really good-looking long grass.
