Most Popular Types of Fences Today
​

Fences can be made from a variety of different materials, and each type of material can be used in many different designs to create a stunning fence. Depending on the reason for a fence, whether it’s just to boarder the yard, for privacy, or for other reasons, one material may be a better option than the others. Some materials offer less maintenance or lower costs, as well, so it’s a good idea to learn more about the most popular options before deciding which one might be right for you.

Aluminum

Aluminum fencing is available as a picket or privacy fence and comes in a variety of different colors. This allows you to match the fencing to the landscaping near it, so it doesn’t stand out as much. Aluminum fences tend to be lightweight and can be used for many different purposes. However, they are not as durable as some of the other types of fencing, and cheaper options can rust. They’re also not the best choice for security, as it is possible to breach an aluminum fence. This type of fencing will generally run between $25 and $50 per linear foot, depending on the design and the height.

Wood
​

One of the most popular options for fencing, wood, has been around for hundreds of years. Today, there are tons of different designs for wooden fences, and various types of wood can be used. Pine is the least expensive option, but it does look great. Other options include redwood, cedar, or tropical hardwoods. Wood can be used to create privacy fencing, and it is a strong material, so it will hold up over time. It’s also incredibly versatile, so there are many different designs that may use wood. On the other hand, wood does require yearly maintenance, and it can be costly to have it installed. Depending on the type of wood used, it can run between $10 to $24 per linear foot. Pine is typically at the lower end of the scale, while tropical hardwoods are among the most expensive wood fences.

Wrought Iron

Wrought iron fences often include timeless designs, and they last a long time. Some of the wrought iron fences built many years ago are still standing today. They are, however, more expensive than most other types of fencing. Wrought iron fences are heavy, so they do require professional assistance to make sure they’re installed correctly. They are durable as well as sturdy, attractive, and can last many years. However, the cost of installation is typically higher than most homeowners will want to spend. To install a wrought iron fence, the cost averages out to around $24 to $44 per linear foot. Taller fences or those with more intricate designs will be on the higher end of the price range.

Vinyl or PVC
​

Increasing numbers of homeowners are opting for vinyl or PVC fencing. Vinyl fences are made from PVC plastic, so they’re low-maintenance, and they will last a lot longer than some of the other types of fence materials. These fences also come in a variety of colors, though white is the most popular choice. They won’t warp, split, or rot, and they won’t have issues like rust. They are eco-friendly and typically easier to install, and these fences can be used as privacy fences. The downside is they’re likely not a good option when security is needed. In general, it will cost around $15 to $30 to have a vinyl fence installed.

Chain Link
Chain link fences are common, as they’re an inexpensive way to fence in a property, and they won’t block the view. These fences are typically affordable and secure, and they’re easier to install. Some chain link fences are coated with vinyl, which makes them far more durable and will reduce the possibility of rust. This type of fence is not generally considered attractive, though they can hold up to some plants growing on them to create a little more privacy and add some color to the yard. The price for a chain link fence will be around $15 to $25 dollars.

Electric

If the fence is just needed to keep pets in the yard, a tall fence might not be needed at all. Instead, to keep the open view yet keep the pet in the yard, an electric fence might be a great option. These fences are invisible, and they’re used to keep pets or livestock on the property. Depending on the type of fence, they might use a light electrical shock – not enough to hurt the pet – to let the pet know they’re getting close to the perimeter. These are a proven method for training pets to stay in the yard, and they’re an affordable option. However, they don’t work with all dogs, so a more standard type of fence may be needed in the long run. If an electric fence is an option, they tend to cost around $1 per linear foot with installation.

Farming Fences
​

For a larger yard where many acres need to be fenced in or a smaller property where you may want a more farmhouse look, farm fencing may be a great option. This type of fencing has a rustic look, so it’s not for everyone. However, it is affordable and does help keep livestock within the yard. It can be various heights, depending on your needs. This type of fence can be made in a few different ways, though generally, it uses fencing and wire. To have it installed, expect to pay around $2 per linear foot.  

​
Choosing the right type of fence for a property can be a very personal decision, but there is a lot to consider to make sure the right fence is picked. Each of the materials above can be a great option, depending on why you’re looking into having a fence installed. Consider the purpose behind the fence as well as your personal preferences to make sure you choose a fence you’re going to like.
