Lowest Maintenance Fences

Chain Link Commercial Fence

Constructing a fence around your home or business offers safety and security. Unfortunately, many people worry that certain fencing options may be too expensive or high-maintenance. But with the right fencing solution, you shouldn’t struggle too much with maintenance issues. There are quite a few low-maintenance fencing options to consider for your home to save on time, money, and effort. Since every family deserves to feel safe without breaking the bank, choosing a durable, long-lasting fence that doesn’t cost too much to maintain is important.

 

Low Maintenance Fencing Options for Your Property

It costs money to maintain your fence, so it’s important that you make the right decision right from the onset. Most homeowners don’t fancy spending several hours a week maintaining their fences. When you choose your type of fence, you may be responsible for some maintenance work semi-regularly. However, many affordable fences are almost maintenance-free or low-maintenance. Here are a few of our favorite lowest maintenance fences:

Cedar Fencing

If you decide to build a wood fence, you may think it will be a very expensive affair to keep up with all the repairs and maintenance that it will need. Because most wood is susceptible to rot in wet conditions, cedar is uniquely suited to constructing a low-maintenance fence. Cedar is naturally wind-resistant and repels bugs.

Reputable fencing companies often source their cedar planks from sustainably managed forests and use a combination of outdoor screws for solid anchoring. Moreover, they hand-tow the base of every post to ensure that each one is strong and can handle years of wet weather. Some people will have to re-stain their cedar fence to maintain the look that it had when it was new, but the structure of a cedar fence is built to last.

 

Vinyl Fencing

Vinyl is the perfect fence material if you want to make a solid fence around your home that will last for years. Even in the harshest of weather conditions, vinyl fences will stand strong. They won’t rot, yellow, warp, splinter, or peel. Moreover, you won’t have to sand or stain vinyl fencing and later paint it, as long as you spray it with a garden hose to bring out the true beauty of the fence.

Vinyl fencing is made from long-lasting plastic and comes in a wide range of colors and textures. If you prefer a fence that looks like the grain of a smooth-looking wood, choose an option with a wood-look look. Your design choices are only limited by your imagination. Vinyl can be used as a privacy fence to create a secure border around your home or as a decorative fence that you can lay on top of the existing fence.

Vinyl can be easily cut to fit any hill or slope, so it will match the slopes of your yard. While the upfront cost is more expensive than traditional wooden fences, the long-term cost will be much lower. If you choose durable vinyl fencing, you’ll never lose any of your valuable fencing components to a lawnmower or weed eater.

 

Ornamental Fencing

The ultimate maintenance-free fence alternative is ornamental fencing! Ornamental fencing is available in a wide variety of colors and styles, and they hide dirt well, which is a big advantage. You won’t have to do any maintenance work on your fence! However, what you get in a maintenance-free fence is what you pay for in the product cost. It’s the best choice for people who want a completely maintenance-free fence, but it is one of the more pricier options on offer. Since ornamental fences are becoming increasingly popular, most homeowners find that buying them is well worth the increase in cost.

 

Wrapping Up

There are a few other things that every homeowner should think about when choosing a type of fence for their property. They include material, style, price, and life span. Always work with a professional fencing company that does all the work honestly and is open about the products they sell. We can help you get the high-quality low-maintenance fence you want, so call us today to set up a free consultation or get a free quote! We look forward to speaking with you!
