Whether you want a warm, natural wood fence or classy, spiked iron points, finding your perfect residential fencing option is about more than choosing an aesthetic ideal – although of course, suiting your style is important!
But First, Functionality
The first question you should ask yourself is why you need residential fencing in the first place. Are you trying to keep pets inside, visually separate your yard from your neighbor’s, or keep unwanted gazes away from your cozy backyard?
Each type of residential fencing material brings a different set of strengths and weaknesses. Wood fencing, for example, is a very popular choice for privacy fencing, but if you just want to separate a little garden area from the rest of the yard, the solid boards can block the light from reaching your growing plants. Steel, iron, and aluminum fences are better for overall security, but they don’t offer the same level of privacy.
Next up, Style
Once you know what residential fencing material you want to work with, it’s time to let your creativity carry you onward as you customize the style of your fence. If you choose a wood fence, for example, do you want to embrace the rustic, natural look, or do you want a coat of white paint to create the clean, fresh picket fence aesthetic? Metal fences offer even more customization in colors, shapes, and patterns.
