Frequently asked questions
- Budget: Your budget is central in influencing which fence you buy. Figure out your spending limit and determine your budget per linear foot, as fencing costs can quickly add up.
- Durability: Consider strength, lifespan, resistance to pests, rot and fungus, rust, and the material’s ability to withstand local weather conditions.
- Maintenance: Maintenance, cleaning and repairs should be simple and minimal.
- Purpose: The style of fence you choose should be suitable for its intended purpose.
- Installation: Find out what installation requirements, such as foundations or supports, are necessary. Research if DIY is possible or if professional installation is your only option.
- Wood fence styles range from traditional to contemporary and from purely functional to attractive and decorative.
- Lattice fences are affordable and decorative. You can use them as privacy fences by growing dense foliage over them.
- Vertical board fences are the most common type of residential fence. There are budget-friendly options available as well as higher-end panels. Vertical board fences are affordable choices for basic privacy and security fences.
- Picket fences conjure up cozy images of traditional properties with carefully tended lawns. They’re good for demarcating a property boundary but don’t provide much security.
- Post-and-rail fences are a solid choice for making a boundary over a large area, as material use is minimal. However, they don’t provide any security or privacy.
- Metal fences are generally stronger and more secure than other materials. You can choose from highly ornate and secure metalwork or simple but functional wire. For the higher-end options, which are often costly, homeowners often reduce costs per square foot by combining the metal with brick.
- Aluminum fencing is an attractive, more affordable alternative to wrought iron. Although it has a similar appearance, it’s not as strong as wrought iron.
- Steel fencing is a strong, long-lasting fencing option that’s good for creating a secure barrier around your home.
- Vinyl fencing made from PVC comes in a range of styles, including those that mimic real wood.
- Composite fencing is an amalgamation of wood fibers, pulp or sawdust and ground plastic particles that are bonded and held together by an acrylic resin. It looks and feels like real wood and is an environmentally friendly choice, as it usually contains a high percentage of recycled materials.
- Wire fences are not made to enhance the aesthetics of your property, although some homeowners opt for black fencing to help boost aesthetics. They are inexpensive, purely functional products suitable for DIY or professional installation.
- Barbed wire fencing isn’t common in residential settings. While it’s an inexpensive, fierce and intimidating security deterrent, it isn’t attractive and will not add value to your home.

Many fences in contemporary yards function as decoration rather than effective barriers. A recent trend in lawn design is choosing not to use any kind of fence to create a more open, inviting space. However, this style is a problem for homeowners who have pets since there is no barrier keeping the animal in the yard.
Here is where an invisible fence comes in. A system is set up that creates an invisible barrier along the perimeter of a yard. Electrical signals are emitted that react with a device attached to a dog's collar. If the pet tries to leave the yard, an electric impulse mildly shocks the animal, startling it. The stimulus is usually preceded by beeping and, over time, the pet learns to respect the beeping to avoid the shock.
Invisible fences are reliable and adaptable and don't interefere with your yard's aesthetics. There are some drawbacks to consider before installation including the fact that pets can still escape if they are truly frightened or see something they want to chase. They may be willing to ignore the electric stimulus. There is also less protection and privacy for your home and an invisible fence doesn't prevent other dogs and animals from entering.
If an invisible fence is something you're considering, contact a local installer to explore your options. Enter your zip code and HomeAdvisor will connect you with invisible fence installers near you.
