Different Types of Fences for your Home

Fences add security and privacy to your home but choosing the right one can be a difficult task. Different fences are suitable for different purposes so it’s important to find something that fits your requirements and budget. At Boston Ironworks, we specialize in wrought iron fences but will always offer honest advice when it comes to fence types suitable for your requirements. Here’s a brief introduction to products available in the market.

1. Aluminum

Aluminum is a relatively new entry in the fence market but several homeowners have installed fences from this material on their properties. Aluminum is durable, malleable, attractive, and relatively easy to maintain. It’s also one of the more affordable options available today.

2. Wood

Wood is a traditional fencing material and adds a distinct charm to any property. If you’re more concerned with privacy than security, then wood fences would be a good option for you. These fences are also available in a variety of colors and finishes. Wood fences can be affordable as well, especially if you choose shorter picket fences instead of tall, thick posts.

3. PVC

PVC is also a modern material that has recently made way into the fencing world. It’s one of the most affordable and attractive fencing options available in the market today. PVC can withstand the weather and heat to a certain extent and will offer you a considerable amount of privacy. However, unlike wrought iron fences, it can bend and is easy to break and isn’t as durable as some of the other options available in the market.

4. Vinyl

Vinyl is quite strong and is available in a variety of designs and colors. It’s also very durable and flexible. In fact, some experts have claimed that this material is nearly five times stronger than wood. It’s an affordable alternative to traditional fencing options like wrought iron and wood.

5. Wrought Iron

Wrought iron is one of the most popular fencing materials available in the market today. It’s very durable and can easily last for decades. If security is your primary concern, wrought iron fences are your best bet as they’re very difficult to break into. They also look very elegant and classy.
