Fencing 4-1-1


There's nothing quite like a beautiful, well-constructed fence to add to the security and value of your home of business. If you've been considering adding or updating a fence, here is a helpful list of fencing types and materials for you to choose from. 
Common Fencing Functions:
  • Decorative Fencing 
    • Among decorative fence options, Picket style fences have traditionally been the most popular of all the fence styles. Recently, other styles like shadowbox and lattice fences, have enjoyed a surge in popularity. Functional and very attractive, decorative fences come in a wide variety of materials. The most common are vinyl and wood.
  • Privacy Fencing 
    • Also often known as "Good Neighbor Fences", privacy fences come in many different styles, colors, and materials. By adding a privacy fence to your backyard you essentially are adding another room to your house.
  • Pool Safety Fencing 
    • Pool Fences also come in many different styles and varieties, so choosing the right type of fence will help to makes sure your pool fence is the best choice for you. Pool fences are typically made in a variety of materials.
  • Pet Fencing & Dog Runs
    • Beauty, budget, and breed of dog will steer the decision toward the type of pet fence you choose. Buy the best looking fence that suits your budget that is strong and high enough to restrain your pet and meets the zoning code of your community.
    • Dog Runs 10 feet wide and as long as possible allow your dog to run up and down and exercise nicely. They can be very useful for homeowners with more than one pet and who would like to keep them all in the same location without having to put up an entire fence.
  • Garden Fencing  
    • Garden fences may be functional in design, serving to keep wildlife from devouring and destroying the bounty of a vegetable and/or herb garden. Other times they serve as simply ornamental, to enhance the beauty of flowers and foliage within.
  • Security Fencing
    • A security fence is designed to create a protective barrier that prevents the passage of theft and intruders. They may use decorative styles or incorporate the use of more threatening materials, like barbed or razor wire, as an effective deterrent.
  • Erosion Control Fencing 
    • Erosion control fencing or "silt fences" are temporary sediment barriers consisting of filter fabric entrenched into the soil and attached to supporting posts. They are most often constructed of a vinyl filter fabric stretched between wood or steel supports.
Popular Types of Fence Materials:
  • White Picket Fences 
    • Picket style fences are among the most of all the fence styles.  They are functional and very attractive.  They are romanticized in books, movies and painting. Picket fences come in a wide variety of materials.  The most common are vinyl and wood.
  • Cedar & Other Wood Fences
    • Wood is a popular option for fencing because it is attractive and popular.  There are many types of wood to choose from: Redwood, Cedar, Pine, Fir, and Spruce.  Metal can be used to reduce warping and rotting, making these fences much more durable than they have been in the past.

    • Wrought Iron fencing is long-lasting and attractive.  There are many styles to choose, ranging from ornate to basic. They require little maintenance.
  • Aluminum Fences & Gates

  • Vinyl Fences
    • Vinyl fencing is attractive because it's easy to maintain and is inexpensive.  It is made from PVC, so it doesn't rot or warp like wood fences do.  It also doesn't require painting.  Vinyl can be used for picket fences, privacy fences and many other applications.
  • Chain Link Fences
