What Type of Fence Should I Get?

There are many reasons to install a fence on your property. Maybe you are looking for added privacy, or you may want to give the family dog room to run and play. Picking the right type of fence depends on its intended purpose, your style, and your yard. Some fences are better for adding privacy, while others are more decorative and appealing to the eye. Below are some of the different types of fencing.

Wood Fencing

Wood is a classic fencing material, making it a popular choice. Wood can be used to create both picket fences and privacy fences. Wood is an economical fencing material. However, the cost will be largely determined by the size and scope of the project. Along with the versatility in design, when choosing a wood fence, you have the option to stain or paint your fence to your choosing.

Aluminum Fencing 

Aluminum is a lightweight and affordable fencing option with durability. It’s also a recyclable material, making it one of the most sustainable materials. Aluminum fences come with multiple protective coatings, providing a shield from the elements. Aluminum is unlikely to rust or corrode, creating a long lifespan.

Steel Fencing

Steel is a sleek, powerful, and long-lasting fencing material. Steel fences are ​​nearly impenetrable, providing security and protection. Most steel fences are galvanized and treated with powder coating to prevent rusting. In addition to the functional and aesthetic benefits, steel fences add value to your home and can even lower your insurance premium.

Vinyl Fencing

If you want the look of wood without all of the maintenance, you may want to consider vinyl. Vinyl is an extremely strong material that can withstand a great deal more impact than traditional wood fences. Today’s vinyl fencing options are almost indistinguishable from wood and offer the same versatility in terms of design options. Vinyl is also less expensive to produce than wood.
