When it comes to building a fence, choosing the right materials is essential for longevity, aesthetics, and functionality. The material you select can influence how your fence stands up to weather, wear, and time. At Sagamore Fence & Deck, we’ve built a reputation on quality and trust, so we’re here to guide you through the best fencing material options.
1. Wood Fencing
Wood is a classic choice that offers a timeless look, perfect for privacy or decorative purposes. However, the type of wood matters significantly to ensure your fence stands the test of time.
Pickets: We recommend using western red cedar for pickets. Western red cedar is naturally resistant to decay and insects, and its ability to resist warping makes it an excellent choice for a long-lasting, beautiful fence.
Posts: For the posts, we recommend treated pine. Treated pine is chemically treated to be resistant to insects and moisture, ensuring your fence remains sturdy and straight for years to come. If you’re looking for something that will stand the test of time, though, steel posts are the way to go.
The combination of western red cedar pickets and treated pine posts is one we’ve found to deliver the best results in preventing warping, even in the central Texas weather.
2. Iron Fencing
If you’re looking for an elegant and open-concept design, iron fencing panels are an excellent option. Iron fences are perfect for defining property boundaries without obstructing your view or creating a closed-off feel.
This style is durable, low-maintenance, and ideal for those who want a secure yet airy look for their outdoor space. Whether you’re enclosing a yard, pool, or garden, iron fences can enhance the charm of your home while providing reliable protection.
Each fencing material has its advantages, and your choice should reflect your specific needs…
3. Chain Link Fencing
Chain link fences are practical, budget-friendly, and functional for defining spaces or securing a property. While they may not provide the same level of privacy as wood fences, they’re a fantastic choice for areas like backyards, playgrounds, or sports fields. Chain link fences can also be upgraded with vinyl coatings to improve durability and aesthetics or barbed wire for an extra level of security.
