Adding a fence to your property is a great way to boost value and curb appeal, but with the variety of products available, it can be difficult to know which is best. Metal and vinyl have their benefits, but for many, wood fencing is the preferred option. Its affordability and customization potential are just some of its recommending features. Here's a closer look at its pros and cons.

What Are the Advantages of Wood Fencing?

1. Customization

Every home is different, and you want your fence to match the exterior design. Wood fencing comes in a large variety of stains to ensure versatility.  And rack and stair-stepping designs will allow you to work around grades and landscaping, so little to no changes are needed.

2. Durability

If you’re committed to proper care, wood fencing made of treated lumber has a healthy life span. Not only is it strong, but it can hold up well to the elements, so long as you have it restained every two years and make an effort to wash off debris before it has time to accumulate. 

3. Cost-Effectiveness

Fencing can get expensive, especially when using metal and related materials, to cover a large area. While you might have to put more work into maintaining a wood fence, your initial investment is low, making it a cost-effective option even with time. Make sure to buy from a qualified lumber dealer and have professionals install it for the most reliable results.
