What Kind of Fence Is Best For You?
Because Vinyl Industries is one of Utah’s most senior of Utah fence companies, we have plenty of experience installing fencing of every type. Today we’d like to share with you various fencing types and our experience with them.
Wood Fence
Remember when most fences were made of wood? If your budget is limited, looks aren’t important, and you don’t mind having to replace your fence in the not so distant future, a wood fence is an option. Remember that wood fences require regular maintenance with sanding, priming, painting, and staining. Additionally, they have one of the highest reputations for needing Utah fence repair.
Pre-Cast Concrete Fence
Not too long ago, pre-cast concrete fencing was extremely expensive. Not anymore. Vinyl Industries offers an impressive array of pre-cast concrete fencing options in a variety of colors. Advances in fence technology have also made the fence even better, stronger, and lighter than concrete fencing of yesterday. In fact, pre-cast concrete fencing is quickly becoming one of our most popular fencing options.
Wrought Iron Fencing
Iron fences are ideal for showing off your beautifully landscaped yard. Therein lies the “irony” of iron fencing. It’s great for show, but not so much for privacy. Although wrought iron fencing is incredibly durable and has one of the lowest Utah fence repair ratings, it may need repainting down the road due to rust (from the weather and your sprinklers), since all wrought iron has a layer of protective coating that may eventually corrode. We think that wrought iron is an excellent fencing option, but one that is better suited for some properties rather than others.
Chain Link Fencing
A throwback to the eighties, chain link fencing can be great for some landscape-minded homeowners that want vines to be grown throughout the fence itself for privacy or even for fruit-yielding vines. However, chain link fencing is currently more popular with security-minded businesses, than with homeowners. In our experience, homeowners value privacy and visual appeal of a fence and therefore, chain link fencing’s popularity continues to dwindle.
Vinyl Fencing
Vinyl fencing is by far and away the most popular fencing option. People like vinyl fencing because it provides privacy, is visually appealing, and comes in variety of styles. For example, picket fencing is now more popular as a vinyl option rather than a wood one. Vinyl fences require virtually no maintenance, while other fencing types do. We also offer our customers pergolas, arbors, and gazebos that are made out of our superior vinyl industries product.
As you can see, Vinyl Industries offers fencing of all types. Although there are advantages and disadvantages to all fencing types, ultimately it is your decision as a consumer. It is beneficial to continue to do personal research to determine which fence would be right for your own property. An excellent way to obtain information on distinct fencing types is to call us here at Vinyl Industries and speak to our friendly customer service team. Unlike many Utah fence companies, we have the experience to answer any questions that you may have. We look forward to your phone call!
