A residential fence can add purpose and value but also beauty and character to any home. There are many different types of fences in many different materials to choose from when deciding to make this investment in your home. Here is some insight into what might be best for your home and your needs.
The Purpose of Your Fence
Taking into consideration what you need a fence for, here are some types of fences to suit any home’s needs.
- Appearance: If you are setting out to simply improve the look of your home there are more flexible options. Creating curb appeal is easy to achieve with a fence that fits perfectly with your home’s style.
- Privacy: There are options for full or partial privacy. Prevent casual trespassing with a shorter fence and prevent nosey neighbors with a higher fence.
- Security: Depending on what your home is being secured from will determine the materials and spacing. More security involves stronger materials and more secure gates.
Materials
- Composite: This material appears as wood but is far lower maintenance and long-lasting.
- PVC: With very minimal upkeep, this material is economical and practical.
- Aluminum: As a more cost-effective material than steel, it carries some of the same benefits as steel. This option is great for sloped properties.
- Steel: This long-lasting material can withstand extreme weather and is available in many colors.
- Wood: With a more natural look, wood is affordable and can be unkempt and changed periodically to progress with the look of the home.
