Arizona and California have temperate weather, allowing families to take advantage of their backyard space. Parents can enjoy grilling dinner while the kids play on the grass or have a dip in the pool, sometimes even in the middle of winter. Since children are naturally curious, parents want to ensure their outdoor safety. With the appropriate fencing, families will have peace of mind and a beautiful addition to their property. 

What Fences Should Families Have? 

1. Chain-Link

Chain-link fences are among the most affordable. They're made from galvanized steel wire, making them durable in the long-term and requiring little maintenance. While they can keep children in and stray animals out, they don't offer much privacy. However, plastic slats can be added for more coverage. 

For those interested in a unique aesthetic look, chain-link fencing has numerous options. Green or black vinyl can be applied over the fence, allowing it to blend into the yard. Crossbeams and posts can be added, providing a distinctive and exciting look. 

2. Wooden

Wood fences have a classic American appeal but never seem old fashioned. They're exceptionally versatile, offering custom-built designs to meet your needs. 

Average wooden fences are seven feet, making them difficult to scale, ensuring increased safety and privacy. Due to their customizability, the fences can be taller or shorter as you prefer. 

Given that Arizona and California have mild weather, wooden fences have a long life span. However, they'll need occasional staining and sealing to maintain their look and integrity. Homeowners can benefit from the periodic maintenance, as it's an opportunity to change the fencing's look. Paint easily adheres to wood, allowing for a variety of different color options. 

3. Vinyl

Vinyl, or PVC fencing, is known for providing a high-end look at an affordable rate. Their designs include, but are not limited to, pickets, closed-slats, semi-private, private, and ornamental. Vinyl also offers designs that mimic wood, combining the former's durability with the latter's aesthetic. The fencing material is durable, requiring little maintenance throughout the year. When vinyl needs to be cleaned, all homeowners need is soap and water.
