Fencing materials all have pros and cons. Some of them are stronger, and others work better for original structures and aesthetic styles. Your first step is to consider a few favorite ideas and then weigh different fencing materials against each other, choosing the best for your project.
Wooden fence
Wood is an attractive, natural material that works for any backyard ideas, designs, and styles. Cedar, teak, and redwood are popular fencing material types for their durable and long-lasting properties. Bamboo fencing material can be added to the fence design to make trendy accents. Pressure-treated woods are great for increased durability and resistance to rot and bugs. Wood fences look classy and traditional but can create eye-catching, contemporary, and impressive walls. Wood eventually warp and rot. It requires refinishing or painting.





Metal fence
Aluminum, wrought iron, and chain link fencing are popular options. Metal has a unique design aesthetic that brings an industrial vibe into a yard. Also, a metal fence can be very artistic. Wrought iron fence designs give a luxurious look to intricate designs. Chain link fencing is a simplified design. Metals require painting to keep rust and signs of wear away. Metal fences are inexpensive, but last decades.



Masonry style fence designs
Concrete blocks, bricks, stucco, or stone fence designs are famous for their longevity and durability. Each of these building materials has a unique appeal and works for traditional homes, mid-century modern homes or ethnic house exteriors and garden designs. These fences need to be built by a professional, as they require complex footings and supports.
