Self-help questions to guide your fencing material thinking

Installing fencing material for your home or property is a huge investment that takes time and effort. To help you out, we’ve assembled some guidelines to consider before you buy fencing materials:

• What’s your objective? Are you looking for garden fencing materials or farm fencing materials? List down the things your fence needs to support, ie privacy, security, decoration.
• What’s your style? Fencing materials should fit your home style. Wood and garden fencing materials are a staple for green luscious lawns. Industrial settings look good with metal fencing materials.
• How much is your upfront budget? The formula: Material cost + installation cost. If you’re tight on budget, pick a cheap fencing material that will provide you the most features and is easy to install.
• How much is your long term, maintenance budget? Not all fencing materials are created equal. Vinyl materials require minimal maintenance costs while wood fencing materials need regular staining, painting and cleaning.
• How’s your climate and weather condition? The climate greatly affects the longevity of your fencing materials. Frequent rains may render your wood fencing materials prone to moulds while metal and wire fencing materials are easily corroded in places near bodies of water.
• Are you planning to sell your property in the future? High quality fences can increase its resale value.
• Where’s your property? Your property may be subjected to a local fencing standard like in the case of commercial places and homeowner associations. Verify first!
