Planning to install new fencing, but not sure what fence material to choose? Exploring your options is easier with a local professional contractor – and most, including the team at All Over Fence, offer free consultations.
Many homeowners are surprised to find out just how many different fencing materials are available. Each has merits and drawbacks, so deciding on the right type of fence to install requires careful thought. For a starting point, take a look at the following popular options for residential properties.
Wood Fencing
A natural wood fence is a classic choice, and homeowners prize the material for its beauty, style and versatility. Wood fencing can last for decades, but it requires regular maintenance and yearly staining or painting.
Composite Wood Fencing
Fencing made of composite wood, a blend of recycled materials including paper pulp and wood fiber, offers the look and feel of natural wood – but with much less maintenance. On the minus side, a composite wood fence can be costly.
Vinyl Fencing
With durability, longevity and a vast range of style options, low-maintenance vinyl fencing offers several advantages. However, for homeowners with tight budgets, installing a vinyl fence may not be the best choice.
Ornamental Iron Fencing
In terms of strength, security and durability, ornamental iron is one of the top fencing options. But the price for installation can be high, and an ornamental iron fence requires regular care and attention to prevent corrosion problems.
Aluminum Fencing
Aluminum is an affordable, low-maintenance fence material. It’s also quite versatile, available in a vast range of styles, designs and colors. Aluminum fencing can last a lifetime, but anyone looking for privacy and security may want to choose another option.
Chain Link Fencing
Compared to other fence materials, chain link is among the least expensive. Plus, it’s durable and practically maintenance-free. However, there’s no denying that this type of fence has a more basic, utilitarian look and doesn’t offer much security.
With all of the options, choosing the right type of fence to install is never an easy decision. Discussing your fence installation with a local professional contractor is really in your best interest, as an expert can come out to your property and help you select fencing that meets your needs and your budget.
