Selecting the Best Fence

6/11/2020

What kind of statement does your property’s perimeter make, and how do you feel seeing it when you come home? Fences and gates add personality and safety to your home. Check out the custom fence gate we designed and constructed for a Denver homeowner here.

Different Fences for Different Folks
If you are part of a Homeowners Association, you may face requirements around fencing styles for your home. As a dog guardian, a well-built fence is necessary to keep your four legged friend out of trouble. Homeowners in urban and metro areas might also simply want more privacy or security from a well designed fence.

We are here to help you wade through a sea of options and consider what fencing style fits your needs and budget. Here are a few the residential fence styles we like best:

Fencing Styles for the Front Range
Wooden fencing
From the traditional white picket fence, to the rural split rail, or privacy slat fence, wooden fencing is some of the most versatile. Split rail fences with wire backing works with many HOA restrictions and keeps pets contained while deterring bunnies from munching on your garden.
However, wooden fences need periodic conditioning in order to maintain aesthetics and integrity in the Front Range’s extreme weather patterns, low humidity, and intense sun.

Vinyl fencing
High quality vinyl fences replicate the look of painted wood from a distance and require less maintenance, but they can also become brittle during cold snaps and may acquire weathering stains over time.

Metal fencing
Wrought iron and mild steel fences provide sturdy, rust-free protection with practically no maintenance required. The look of this black glazed metal compliments modern homes, elegant manors, and brick cottages. Brick and stucco bases can also be integrated into these fence designs to compliment your home for added flair.

Great tip about how wooden fences need periodic conditioning. I want a fence that doesn't require much upkeep. I'll have to consider getting an aluminum fence to make sure that it doesn't rust.

What's your nearby climate? While choosing a sort of timber for your fence, think about the nearby climate. Do you live in a blustery region or a dry region? Does your region arrive at frosty temperatures or over 100 degree temperatures? Does the climate vary or remain generally steady? Picking the legitimate wood for your environment will hinder rot and give a dependable fence.

I appreciate what you said about how wooden fences need periodic conditioning. I need to get a fencing contractor who can reinstall some posts in my backyard. My old fence just needs some more structural stability.

I like how you mentioned that gates and fences add personality and more safety to your home. My uncle mentioned to me last night that he is planning to replace their current fence due to rust and old age with an ornamental fence and asked me if I have any idea what is the best option to buy. Thanks to this informative article and I'll be sure to tell him that they can consult customized ornamental fencing services as they can answer all his inquiries and will provide his desired customized fence.

For a variety of reasons, vinyl fence is a popular and attractive alternative for both residential and commercial sites. Vinyl may be a convincing substitute for conventional wood fences due to its glossy shine and weather resistance, as well as the fact that it is not susceptible to rotting or breaking. Vinyl fencing, despite its many advantages, is far more prone to stains, filth, algae, and other types of grime.

Thanks for sharing that when looking to have fences installed, it is encouraged that we first decide on the design. It makes sense as in doing so, it helps to ensure that it complements our home. Since I am looking to have fences installed, I will definitely consider the material as well as the design.
