Carnahan-White Explores Different Fence Installations
While all fences serve a similar fundamental purpose, not all fences are created equal. There are many types of fences out there to provide for homeowner’s varying needs. If you’re not sure what type of fence to get for your home, read on as Carnahan-White breaks down the different types of fences and their purposes.
Wood Fencing
When you think of the quintessential home, you think of white picket wood fences. There is a reason this is the most popular fencing in the country because it gives homeowners many benefits. Its customizable height can give the sense of privacy owners want for a more secluded outdoor space. Wood fencing can add a classic traditional touch to any home, and it is an inexpensive option for owners who want quality without breaking the bank. However, the taller the fence, the more expensive it will be. While wooden fence installation can take a little extra time, it is worth it due to the ability to withstand wear and tear.

Ornamental Steel Fences
When you see fences with interesting and unique designs, it is most likely that they are iron or steel ornamental fences. Ornamental steel fences are robust and can hold their own against storms, tornadoes, and high winds. Their strength gives peace of mind that they will protect your home from trespassers. Their ornamental style can be customized to complement the beauty of your home. Ornamental fence installation can be pricey since most are custom made, but the quality and beauty of the final result is worth the investment.
Aluminum Fencing
A simple and attractive fence type that is perfect to spruce up the look of your home is aluminum fencing. Aluminum fencing is great for homeowners looking for a sense of privacy without a lot of maintenance. The only upkeep that’ll have to be done is just deciding on a paint color. If you live in an area with the threat of severe weather, we suggest you look for a more durable fence. However, if you’re looking for something simple for your yard, this is a great option. Fence installation can be quite simple with aluminum as well.
Chain-Link Fence
While chain-link fences don’t add a lot of privacy to a home, they are great for keeping dogs and kids from wandering off. Chain-link fences are quite cheap, which is the main reason people buy them. They are simple to install and need very little maintenance to keep them looking fresh and new. Some people add shrubbery, flowers, or vines to the outside of their chain-link fence for more privacy.
Vinyl Fencing
Vinyl fencing could very well be the upcoming top fencing choice for most projects. Some vinyl can be nearly five times stronger and more flexible than wood fences. Vinyl fencing requires minimal maintenance and can be cleaned with ease since paint or other substances don’t stick very well to it. Just a good hose or power washer is all you need to get rid of any unwanted stains that do stick. Vinyl fence installation may cost a little more, but it has a long lifespan and cheap maintenance that can make it more cost-effective than other fencing.
