Deciding on the Right Type of Fence for Your Home

Fences are important because they not only serve a key role in the exterior appearance of your home; they also provide a number of benefits such as security or privacy for homeowners. Before you go out and pick any option, have a specific goal in mind before installing a new fence. Picking a fence based on a specific purpose helps homeowners choose the right type of fence for them. When it’s all said and done, the right type of fence will be the one that looks nice, but most importantly serves its purpose and meets the goals of the homeowner.. Whether your goal is to add some décor around your home, increase security, gain privacy, to block visual stimuli from pets, or to keep your pets in, there’s a fence option for you.  While selecting the right fence, be sure to consider costs, maintenance, and to check with your local authorities to ensure the fence you’re going for isn’t prohibited. Fence Types Before we jump into all yard fencing options, you have to know your options. The 5 most popular types of fences are: * Aluminum * Wood * PVC * Wall * Chain Link Aluminum Fencing Aluminum fencing is a low-maintenance option. Aluminum fences are great decorative fixtures as they blend well with just about any home and require little maintenance. The only maintenance will come during installation when you choose to paint and decorate it. On the flip side, these fences are not as strong and won’t provide any level of security or privacy to the owner. Wood Fencing You can't beat the look of classic wood fencing. Wood fences are by far among the most popular options as they come in many styles. If you’re looking for privacy, security, and a fence that will last you a lifetime go with a wood fence.  They give homeowners a warm and welcoming feeling and without the headache of breaking the bank.The quality of the wood fence will depend on the type of wood you choose; however its flexibility to add additional features makes it well worth it. PVC Fencing Searching for a budget-friendly fence option? PVC is right for you. Hands down, the cheapest way to fence in your yard is by using one made of PVC. These fences use PVC to replace wooden stakes and pickets, and although not nearly as sturdy, they can certainly serve their purpose. The posts are PVC sleeves that go on top of wooden posts to add stability to the fence, but also cut down on material costs by using less wood. Sometimes, the PVC stakes are attached with an adhesive to the cross bars and other times, they are fastened with screws. This type of fencing comes in a variety of different heights and colors. Because of its PVC makeup, the fence is very resistant to the elements and can last for years. CONCRETE FENCING The easiest and least expensive to maintain What makes concrete fencing great? Concrete blocks serve as very durable retaining walls that provide the best sound buffers against outside noises. Concrete fences are also the easiest and least expensive to maintain. You can also easily add to or modify concrete fences later with different height and design options. Construction is relatively easy and doesn’t require heavy machinery or other big equipment. Concrete blocks are the strongest and longest lasting fencing material and only earthquakes can cause damage. It also lasts several decades. Chain Link Fencing Chain link fencing is functional and affordable. The last type of fence type to consider is chain link fencing. Just about everyone knows this type of fence. Homeowners, as well as school administrators (very popular), will be delighted to know that they are cheap, durable and need very little maintenance (like many of the other options).Yet, where this fence may lack in creativity, it makes up for in price and durability. While security and privacy are certainly the top two functions of all home fences, design and creativity should never take a back seat. Like all the choices before it, do your homework.
