Wood Fencing
A wood fence provides a natural look. They are environmentally friendly, with no chemical treatment. The fencing comes in a variety of styles like; picket, round pole, spear top, flat top, and lattice.

The most common woods used are Redwood and Teak since they are naturally resistant to rotting and decay. A wood fence does require some maintenance by reapplying sealer or oil once or twice a year.

Metal Fencing
A metal fence is highly durable and best of all, essentially maintenance-free. Aluminum fencing is more expensive, and not as strong as iron. It is common since it offers a clean look, and is rustproof.

Chain link fences are great for the project that requires straight lines. Mesh is made out of carbon steel or aluminum and is less expensive. A metal fence can be vinyl-coated for added protection

Vinyl Fencing
For maximum durability go with vinyl fencing, with a life expectancy of 10+ years. Just spray down with a garden hose to clean.

Vinyl fencing comes in a wide variety of architectural styles, though it’s limited in color. The low-grade vinyl is vulnerable to fading from UV light and extreme temperatures.

Wrought Iron Fencing
If you like more of a traditional look, choose wrought iron fencing. The panels come in a wide variety of designs, shapes, colors, and widths. Iron is stronger than aluminum, but it can rust, making it necessary to have a coating applied. There are a variety of tops for wrought iron fencing, like spears.

Privacy Fencing
Another option is privacy fencing, which offers space to relax. Usually, cedar is the wood of choice because of its durability. A sealant is needed to resist decay and insects. Maintenance can include plank replacement and a yearly application of sealant.

One thing to consider is the height of the fence. The choices are 4, 6, and 8 ft. Privacy fencing is for, well privacy. Pick a height where neighbors can’t see over, even when they stand on their deck.

Fencing is more than enclosing your property. Other options are; hide trash cans, extra security around a pool, restricted pet area, and more. Talk with Fencing Contractor Plano for more ideas.
