Homeowners often don’t even consider a new fence because they just THINK it will be way too expensive. But I’m going to let you in on a secret: there are so many amazing and affordable options out there!
Today I’m walking you through some of the most popular styles I’m seeing everywhere.
Pallet Or Slat Wood Fence
This is such a classic look, and I especially love it when the walls are dressed up with beautiful foliage. I’ve seen this used in urban spaces where it can almost look like a patio, which is a fantastic way to increase privacy.
This style is also just so practical. It’s known for being really durable and can withstand heavy loads and the elements, making it a truly resilient choice for your yard.
Brick Wall
A brick wall is one of those projects that is just so worth the investment, in my opinion. Yes, it can be a little pricey, but a well-laid wall with a good foundation will last for decades. The durability absolutely makes it worth the cost.
What’s so great is that you can add so many different decorative elements. I love seeing them with planters or crawling plants. I’ve even seen clients mix in wrought iron elements, and it’s a stunning combination!
Chain Link Or Wired Fence
I hear from many of you that you’re nervous about the cost and annual maintenance of a new fence. I get it! If that’s your main concern, you should definitely look at chain link.
You can’t say the same for other styles, because this one is so much less costly for maintenance and needs very little work to clean up.
It’s typically made from steel wire that is galvanized or LLDPE-coated. That material also means that if it gets damaged, it’s really easy to repair.
White Picket Fence
As the name implies, this fence is, of course, perpetually white. It’s such an iconic look! It really symbolizes that ideal middle-class suburban life.
You’ll see this used for domestic barriers between neighbors. The feature that really distinguishes this style is its evenly spaced vertical boards.
Wrought-iron
Wrought-iron is made from raw elements of iron. It has some of the best components for its making, including parts like spires, pickets, posts and rails, finials, and cover flanges or escutcheons.
Now, I know what you’re thinking—doesn’t it rust? While it’s true that people used to believe decorative iron-wrought fences develop rust, that is so much less of a concern for modern iron today.
Modern fences are actually made with galvanized steel or aluminum and then treated with a powder coating. This means they are built to be resistant to rust!
And here’s the best part: they are more affordable than you might think! They come in so many different styles, and all of them give you a great sense of security and privacy.
Rattan or Bamboo Fence
This is such an attractive fence, and it usually comes in panels or rolls. I love this option because it’s known for being less expensive and really easy to install. It also comes in a variety of colors and styles.
Plus, bamboo fencing is highly friendly to the environment. It’s a top choice if you want to help the planet while you beautify your property. I love that!
