If you’re considering new fencing for your home, then there are many different materials and styles to choose from. The type of fence you decide on depends on your budget, maintenance requirements, and personal tastes. There are three main types of fencing that most homeowners in Southern California consider. Let’s take a closer look at each and discuss their differences.
Wood Fencing
Wood is the classic fencing material that everyone has come to know and love. Homeowners opt for plain lumber to capture that natural, homey look that can only be achieved with wood. Wood fencing is fairly versatile, and can be stained or painted to suit your tastes. Fencing lumber is also relatively inexpensive, which means that you can get more fence for your budget. Coordinate your fencing lumber to match your decking, patio cover, or garden box for a complete look. Keep in mind that wood fences require annual maintenance, including sealing and staining.
Composite Fencing
Composite fencing is a great choice as there are plenty of different types that will help you achieve the look you desire. Composite decking can often be made to imitate wood or another similar material. This usually saves you time and money, if those are concerns of yours when taking on a fence project. Brands such as Trex and Timbertech are some of the most well-known composite fencing companies.
Vinyl Fencing
Finally, consider the many benefits of installing vinyl fencing. Vinyl is a very affordable material, and is also highly durable and versatile. Homeowners will appreciate how low-maintenance vinyl is, as well as its colorfastness: Because vinyl is pigmented all the way through, you’ll never have to worry about the color fading or chipping!
