Whether your goal is to add some décor around your
home, increase security, gain privacy, to block visual stimuli from pets, or to
keep your pets in, there’s a fence option for you. While selecting the
right fence, be sure to consider costs, maintenance, and to check with your local
authorities to ensure the fence you’re going for isn’t prohibited.
Fence Types
Before we jump into all yard fencing options, you
have to know your options. The 5 most popular types of fences are:
- Aluminum
- Wood
- PVC
- Wall
- Chain Link
Aluminum Fencing
Aluminum fencing is a low-maintenance option.
Aluminum
fences are great decorative fixtures as they blend well with just about any
home and require little maintenance. The only maintenance will come during
installation when you choose to paint and decorate it. On the flip side, these
fences are not as strong and won’t provide any level of security or privacy to
the owner.
Wood Fencing
You can't beat the look of classic wood fencing.
Wood fences are by
far among the most popular options as they come in many styles. If you’re
looking for privacy, security, and a fence that will last you a lifetime go
with a wood fence. They give homeowners a
warm and welcoming feeling and without the headache of breaking the bank.
The quality of the wood fence will depend on the type of wood you choose;
however its flexibility to add additional features makes it well worth it.
PVC Fencing

| Searching for a budget-friendly fence option? PVC is right for you. |
Hands down, the cheapest way to fence in your yard
is by using one made of PVC. These fences use PVC to replace wooden stakes and
pickets, and although not nearly as sturdy, they can certainly serve their
purpose. The posts are PVC sleeves that go on top of wooden posts to add
stability to the fence, but also cut down on material costs by using less wood.
Sometimes, the PVC stakes are attached with an adhesive to the cross bars and
other times, they are fastened with screws. This type of fencing comes in a
variety of different heights and colors. Because of its PVC makeup, the fence
is very resistant to the elements and can last for years.
CONCRETE FENCING

The easiest and
least expensive to maintain |
What makes concrete fencing great? Concrete blocks
serve as very durable retaining walls that provide the best sound buffers
against outside noises. Concrete fences are also the easiest and least
expensive to maintain.
You can also easily add to or modify concrete
fences later with different height and design options. Construction is
relatively easy and doesn’t require heavy machinery or other big equipment.
Concrete blocks are the strongest and longest
lasting fencing material and only earthquakes can cause damage. It also lasts
several decades.
Chain Link Fencing
Chain link fencing is functional and affordable.
The last type of
fence type to consider is chain link fencing. Just about everyone knows this
type of fence. Homeowners, as well as school administrators (very popular),
will be delighted to know that they are cheap, durable and need very
little maintenance (like many of the other options).Yet, where this fence may
lack in creativity, it makes up for in price and durability.
While security and privacy are certainly the top
two functions of all home fences, design and creativity should never take a
back seat. Like all the choices before it, do your homework. Write down your
needs, goals, and restrictions to discover and select the best fence for your
home. With all the fencing choices available, no home in St Lucia needs to
sacrifice looks for security.
