When you're choosing fencing material and a style, keep in mind that fences last a long time, so you need to be happy with its appearance (you're going to be looking at it for quite a while). Also, fences aren't cheap, so consider your budget when deciding on your fence. But don't just choose the cheapest option - a cheap fence will likely require you to spend extra money on maintenance over the years. Choosing Fence Styles The fence style you choose should complement the architecture of your home as well as fit in with the landscape. Different styles of fences blend in better with different home designs and landscapes. For example, a board on board fence suitable for a suburban yard would look like a prison wall if you put it up around a rural property. Similarly, a chain link fence will always have an industrial/functional appearance to it, no matter the property. Unfortunately, your fence style may not be a choice you can make yourself. Check your local building codes and zoning requirements (as well as your HOA regulations) before your make your final choice. There are usually regulations regarding fence height and style for pool fences, and local regulations may mandate specific styles in other situations as well. Material Options for Fences Once you've decided on the style of fence you want, you need to determine what material to use. Fences today can be made of all kinds of materials from stone or wood to metals like steel or aluminum, or even plastic or vinyl, each of which has its own strengths and weaknesses. Wood Fences Wood is still probably the most popular choice for fencing. It's easy to get, relatively inexpensive, easy to work with and very adaptable - short fences, tall fences, solid fences or open fences are all possible with wood. You can finish a wood fence in almost any color you want, so it can easily blend with your house and trim. When choosing wood for your fence, keep in mind that over time all wood will rot. Some woods, like redwood and cedar, are more naturally resistant to moisture but require some maintenance to keep them looking fresh, and even pressure treated wood will degrade over time. Thus, the main disadvantage of using wood for a fence is that it will require some ongoing maintenance like an annual painting or staining. Vinyl Fencing Vinyl is the new kid on the block when it comes to fencing material. It's available in a wide range of colors, is manufactured in standard wood dimensions so it is fairly straightforward to work with, and it is virtually maintenance free as well as being weather resistant. A lot of vinyl fencing is made from recycled plastics, so it is even ecologically friendly. Finally, let me have a short conclusion.
