Whether you’re trying to keep your furry friends and rambunctious children inside the yard, or pesky animals and unwanted visitors out, a fence can be a great asset to your backyard. With so many materials to choose from, it can be difficult to decide which style best fits your needs. Leaders in fencing, the friendly professionals at Herb Geddes Fence Company discuss the benefits of the most common fence materials below.

Benefits of Different Fence Materials

Wood

A popular choice, wood has a charming, classic style that is hard to replicate with any other material. Wood fences provide excellent privacy at an affordable price. Some types of wood fences require frequent maintenance. However, choices like Western Red cedar, cypress and treated pine are beautiful, have a long lifespan and are resistant to the elements.

Aluminum

Versatile and durable, aluminum is a great choice for a fence because it is affordable and requires almost no maintenance to keep it functional and looking like new. Aluminum fences are ideal for those who have a sloped landscape because they can rack. Aluminum is also extremely reliable and comes in a variety of colors and styles.

Chain Link

If you’re looking for an inexpensive and maintenance-free material, chain link may be the best choice for you. Chain link fences are commonly seen around neighborhoods and also easy to install.

Vinyl

Vinyl fences are affordable and durable enough to stave off warping, rotting and blistering. With a range of styles and colors to choose from, vinyl fences are a breeze to install because they’re lightweight and snap together.
