Getting a new fence can be a daunting challenge considering all of the different types of materials and styles that you can choose from.
The climate of where you live and any local regulations will certainly impact what you choose. But ultimately, you’ll want something that fits your needs, budget, and of course, looks appealing.
Materials
Wooden Fences
Wood is a classic material that’s great for people who want a natural looking fence. Though there are some common pitfalls such as rot, warping, and termites, a professional installation with regular maintenance can help prevent these problems and extend the life of your fence. The lifespan of your fence also depends of what kind of wood you choose.
Here are some common choices:
Cedar
Cedar is one of the most durable materials you can choose. Typically, a well maintained cedar fence (specifically red cedar) can last up to 15-20 years. Because of the oils naturally occurring within the wood, cedar is resistant to warping, rot, and termite infestation.
