The best fence for your home or business is the one that meets your needs. Wood, vinyl, chain link, or aluminum, if it provides the look, the security, the privacy, and the longevity you are looking for, it’s the right fence for you.
Wondering how to approach your upcoming project? Fence experts can help you work through the options available for your application. From material to style, there is more than one possibility for any fence application, and a customized look should be high on your priority list.
Material matters when building a fence
Wood is still the most popular fence material for its classic look and versatility, but maintenance and upkeep can be a deterrent. Homeowners today are turning to a creative mix of materials that provides function and beauty while taking advantage of the best each material has to offer.
These efforts can include natural woods combined with neutral-toned metals, as well as incorporating composites or plastics. Mixed material fencing can provide a modern look with the advantage of placing metal, vinyl, or composites adjacent to the ground, where wood will be more vulnerable to wear, staining, and rot. The result is an attractive and functional fence that lasts much longer than a standard wood fence.
Trends towards eco-friendly choices also have more homeowners and business owners opting for wood fencing comprised entirely of sustainable timber grown in North America. Among the most popular is red cedar for its natural beauty and durability.
Your new fence in Northeast Ohio
Consider what you need your fence to provide before choosing the style and materials you will use.
- Privacy fence – For your yard or around a patio, wood privacy fences in stockade or board-on-board work well, but many composites and vinyl options will imitate a wood look without the maintenance requirements.
- Decorative fencing or defining a perimeter – Whether it’s your yard or a business, such as a restaurant patio, an aluminum fence allows views while providing durability, security, and minimal upkeep. For a rustic look, split rail fencing is ideal for defining a property line.
- Garden fencing – For flowers or vegetables, let the sunlight in and keep the critters out with a chain link fence. Add extra cross pieces at the base to keep out the smallest critters.
- Fencing around a pool or hot tub – Get the maximum security and privacy with a wood, vinyl, or composite fence and strong gate. If privacy is not your priority, get your most secure fence with aluminum wrought iron for a sturdy and attractive fence.
- Commercial fencing – Rely on strong, secure chain link fencing in multiple designs and heights to maintain parking and delivery areas for industrial and commercial establishments.
