When it's time to install a new fence, consider wood fencing. There are several advantages to adding a wood fence to your home, including:

• Curb appeal: A new fence can enhance your home's curb appeal. Choosing a wooden fence can increase the appeal since this material is durable and classy.
• Privacy: You can keep your home private by installing a wood fence. The tall, sturdy pickets act as a great defense from people looking into your yard, and they help keep your pets inside your property.
• Multiple styles: Select your new fence from a range of wood fence styles. We use the highest quality cedar for our fences and pine for the posts. You can choose a style that complements your home.
• Customizable: Along with picking an option from the different kinds of wood fences, you can also customize it to fit your home's style. Choose between light or dark stains and pick which fence posts will suit your needs best.

Vinyl fence is a type of plastic fence made with PVC (polyvinyl chloride). The PVC resin is combined with special ingredients that give vinyl fence exceptional impact strength, durability and weather ability. Vinyl is an easy-care alternative to other fence materials. A vinyl fence will not warp, rot, split or blister like a wood fence, or rust, chip, peel or corrode like aluminum. Vinyl never needs sanding, staining or painting. Surface dirt and debris wash away easily with a periodic spraying from a garden hose.  Vinyl is a safe choice for families and pet owners. Unlike wood fences, which are often treated with chemicals to protect the fence from weathering, vinyl is non-toxic. It does not splinter and contains no nails or sharp edges that can harm children or animals. Plastic is also an environmentally friendly fence material, since it is fully recyclable and offers an eco-conscious alternative to the dwindling supply of trees harvested for wood fencing. Vinyl fence offers outstanding durability. It is up to five times stronger and four times more flexible than wood fencing, allowing it to handle the impact from lawn mowers and tree limbs. The steel reinforced bottom rail provides a stronger, more rigid fence that is less likely to sag or bow.

ALLOWS IN MORE SUNLIGHT

Chain link fencing isn’t a solid fencing type. Since it has small holes between the links, it allows in more sunlight than other kinds of fence. Different fencing types are crafted from solid pieces that can block a lot of potential sunlight.

If you want safety and security but still want to allow sunlight into your yard, chain link fencing is a perfect choice. This is an excellent option for people who are growing plants that require a lot of sunlight.

EASY TO CARE FOR

Chain link fencing is generally easy to care for. It doesn’t require a lot of your effort to stay looking great. To care for your chain link fence, you should clean it and check it for damage once or twice a year.

Cleaning a chain link fenceis simple. Spray the fence with your garden hose, focusing nozzle pressure on any spots that have noticeable rust. Any rust that doesn’t get removed with the water alone can be scrubbed with a hard-bristle cleaning brush.

If there are still pieces of rust, you can use naval jelly to help remove them. Wipe the fence clean with mineral spirits to lessen the risk more rust will buildup.

DURABLE

Chain link fences are strong and durable. If taken proper care of, they can last a long time. This allows homeowners to get a high return on investment and feel a sense of security the fence will continue working the way it’s supposed to.

When anchored properly, chain link fencing can withstand moderately high winds. The fencing does well against the rain, snow, and even hail without sustaining significant damage.

ADDS SECURITY TO YOUR YARD

Installing any fence will help add a considerable amount of security to your yard. Chain link fencing is no exception.

A fence makes it more difficult for someone to break into your home. The primary way a fence does this is by increasing the difficulty of entering the property itself. When it takes longer to get from the street to inside the home, burglars stand a higher risk of being seen and, thus, caught.

A chain link fence can also help keep other unwanted things out of the yard. Stray dogs and wildlife, for example. In most circumstances, it isn’t safe to have unfamiliar animals in your yard, and a fence can add protection against these situations.

PROVIDES SAFETY FOR ANIMALS AND CHILDREN

If you have pets or children, you want to keep them safe. Unfortunately, they’re also fantastic escape artists who need minimal time to get out of the yard. Puppies and toddlers are especially prone to running out of the yard.

Having a fence up makes it difficult, if not impossible, for pets and children to escape the yard. Even the greatest escape artists will have much more difficulty. This will give you plenty of time to see they’re trying to flee before they ever do.
