Popular Wood Fencing Styles

Picket

Perfect for adding a touch of traditional, welcoming charm. Picket fences are typically shorter and feature evenly spaced vertical boards, making them ideal for front yards and decorative purposes.

Privacy

If your main goal is seclusion, a privacy fence is the answer. These fences feature tall, solid panels with no gaps between boards, creating a completely enclosed and intimate outdoor space.

Split-Rail

Often seen on larger properties, farms, or in rustic settings, split-rail fences are known for their open, natural look. They're excellent for marking boundaries and providing a more decorative or rural aesthetic.

Shadowbox

This style combines privacy with visual appeal. The boards are staggered on alternating sides of the fence rails, allowing for some airflow and light while still providing significant privacy from a straight-on view.

Benefits of a Wood Fence

  • Natural Appeal: Wood offers an unmatched, organic aesthetic that complements any landscape.
  • Customizable: You can paint or stain your wood fence any colour to match your home’s exterior or your personal style.
  • Affordability: Compared to many other materials, wood is a cost-effective option for fencing projects of all sizes.

Important Considerations

While a beautiful choice, a wood fence requires some commitment to maintenance. To prevent rot, warping, and insect damage, it’s essential to stain or seal your fence every few years. This regular upkeep ensures your fence remains strong, beautiful, and long-lasting.

Common Metal Panel Fencing Styles

Corrugated Metal

With its distinctive wavy profile, corrugated metal panels offer a striking industrial or modern look. They are often made from galvanized steel, which is coated for resistance to rust and fading, and can be installed horizontally or vertically.

Solid/Flat Panels

For a clean, minimalist aesthetic, solid or flat metal panels provide a sleek, uninterrupted surface. They offer maximum privacy and a high degree of security, making them ideal for modern homes and commercial applications.

Advantages of Metal Panel Fencing

  • Unmatched Durability: Metal panels, particularly steel and aluminum, are engineered to withstand the elements. They are rust-resistant, fireproof, and can endure harsh weather conditions, including strong winds and hail.
  • Low Maintenance: Unlike wood, metal panel fencing does not require regular staining, painting, or sealing. It is resistant to rot, insects, and warping. A simple wash with soap and water is all that is typically needed to keep it looking new.
  • Superior Security: The solid and rigid nature of metal panels makes them an excellent choice for a high-security boundary. They are difficult to cut or climb, providing peace of mind.
  • Modern Aesthetic: With its clean lines and variety of finishes and patterns, metal panel fencing provides a contemporary look that can dramatically enhance the curb appeal of your property.

Common Chain-Link Fencing Options

Galvanized Chain-Link

The traditional choice, this type of fencing is coated in zinc to prevent rust and corrosion, giving it its classic silver finish. It's a reliable option for all-purpose security.

Vinyl-Coated Chain-Link

For a more attractive and less industrial look, chain-link is also available with a colored vinyl coating. This adds an extra layer of protection against the elements while helping the fence blend into its surroundings. Common colours include black, green, and brown.

Height and Gauge

Chain-link fencing comes in various heights and gauges (the thickness of the wire). A higher gauge number means a thinner wire, while a lower gauge means a thicker, stronger wire. Choosing the correct gauge is crucial for striking a balance between security needs and cost.

Advantages of Chain-Link Fencing

  • Exceptional Durability: Made from woven steel wire, chain-link fences are incredibly strong and resilient. They can withstand severe weather, impacts and are highly resistant to damage.
  • Cost-Effective: Compared to many other fencing materials, chain-link is one of the most affordable options available, making it a great choice for large properties or projects with a tight budget.
  • Low Maintenance: A major benefit of chain-link fencing is that it requires very little upkeep. It doesn’t need to be painted or stained and is resistant to rot, pests, and sun damage. Occasional cleaning is all that’s needed to maintain its appearance.
  • Versatile: Chain-link fencing is perfect for a variety of uses, including enclosing backyards, securing commercial properties, creating dog runs, or defining property lines. Its open design also allows for clear visibility.
