Whether you’re a homeowner, business owner, or property developer, selecting the perfect fence material requires careful consideration of various factors – factors that Young’s Fencing can help sort through!

Fencing Purpose

Before delving into the realm of fence materials, begin by asking yourself essential questions: Do you require privacy from neighbors or the reduction of noise disturbances? Are you aiming to bolster security measures or create a safe space for your pets? Do you envision an aesthetically pleasing boundary or a fence that seamlessly blends with the surrounding landscape? Do you need some fencing to protect your verdant garden?

Young’s Fencing can help streamline the decision-making process once you take a look at your priorities, ensuring your fence aligns perfectly with your unique requirements.

Assess Budget

Once you’ve thought about the purpose of your fence, it’s important to think about your budget. These considerations are crucial when choosing a fence! Young’s will provide you with complimentary estimates, including materials, labor, and any additional features. After, consider factors in long-term costs such as maintenance, repairs, and potential replacements.

Styles and Materials

Fences come in a diverse range of styles and materials, all of which enhance the look and protection of your property. Some materials prioritize a specific look, some prioritize utility, while others will prioritize longevity and durability. Depending on the needs that we assessed previously, you’ll want to keep specific fence materials in mind.

Wood Fencing

Wood fencing stands out as a classic and excellent choice. With options such as stockade, picket, and split rail, wood fences offer a range of styles to suit your preferences. Furthermore, wood fences offer the versatility of being painted in any color you choose, allowing you to customize and enhance the visual appeal of your outdoor space. While carrying a natural charm, it’s important to remember that wood fences require a decent amount of upkeep, especially to avoid rotting and erosion. Wood fencing looks great in any space. In one example, the natural, earthy look of wood is beautiful as garden fencing.

Vinyl Fencing

Vinyl is a fence material that maintains its aesthetic appeal without the need for painting. Whether you prefer a classic white fence or desire a more unique color, vinyl fences come in a variety of colors to suit your personal taste and complement your property’s style. It also requires a minimal amount of effort to maintain. Unlike other materials, vinyl is resistant to stains and can be easily cleaned with just soap and water. For example, vinyl fencing can look gorgeous along the perimeter of a home and near a gate.

Aluminum Fencing

Aluminum fencing is a popular choice for both residential and commercial properties, especially with pool fencing. One of the key advantages of aluminum fencing is its exceptional durability and lack of upkeep. Aluminum is a rust-resistant material, making it highly suitable for outdoor environments and areas prone to moisture, such as pools. When it comes to pool fencing, Young’s Fencing will help familiarize you with the laws and regulation codes for your town, but aluminum is absolutely your best bet for pool fencing material.

Chain Link

Chain link and deer fencing are excellent choices for installing along the tree line or property line. The discreet and dark color of these fences seamlessly blends in when installed behind shrubs or in wooded areas, hardly becoming noticeable. Deer fencing, available with wood posts or metal posts featuring plastic-coated hex wire, offers exceptional durability and can reach heights of up to 8′, with shorter options also available. These are best for keeping pets in your yard and wildlife out. Chain link fences have a multitude of uses and are very versatile, so they’re good to consider.

Material Differences

Each material and style offers unique benefits and considerations. When making your selection, it is crucial to consider factors such as durability, maintenance requirements, and resistance to weather conditions. As always, it’s good to consider style and what might be the most eye-pleasing fence material and style for your outdoor space. With this in mind, you can begin to consider color, if applicable. As mentioned, for specific needs such as protecting your garden from deer or defining boundaries around your garden space, specialized deer fencing and garden fencing options should be explored, and these typically are made with plastic hex-wire.

Local Laws and Finishing Touches

Before proceeding with your fence installation, Young’s Fencing and Landscape will help you familiarize yourself with local regulations and any permits required. Municipalities often have specific guidelines regarding materials, so it’s important for us to consider this as we explore what kind of materials will be best for your property.

Remember, a well-chosen fence not only adds value to your property but also enhances its functionality and aesthetic appeal. Take the time to research and consult with professionals (like Young’s Fencing) to ensure you make the right choice, resulting in a fence that meets your expectations and stands the test of time.
