Popular Fence Styles

There are many types of fences out there, which means there are plenty of options to consider. Which could be right for your home or business?

Split-Rail

A split-rail fence is popular for parks and residential areas alike. It is common in both rural and suburban neighborhoods. A split-rail fence is very simple, only consisting of fence posts with two or three rows of horizontal rails, commonly made from wood.

Picket

A picket fence is a classic and can come in wood, vinyl, or composite. A picket fence is a semi-privacy fence, perfect for homes that need some level of security but not the utmost privacy. Picket fences come in many styles, such as scalloped, dog-eared, arched, and straight.

Privacy

A privacy fence completely seals off the back or front yard from the outside world, an excellent option for properties with close-by neighbors or ones located on street corners. Board-on-board privacy fences alternate and slightly overlap each picket, but other types, such as lockboard, set each picket side by side.

Security

If you need an extra durable fence for security, an aluminum or steel fence might be for you. An aluminum or steel fence will not give you privacy, but it will be a highly sturdy option that would be hard for would-be intruders to overcome. These fences are also low-maintenance, needing minimum care and cleaning.

Chain-Link

Chain-link fences are a surprisingly enduring option. Among the possible Freedom Fence and Deck fence installation choices, chain-link is affordable, low-maintenance, and long-lasting. If you need to add privacy, you can always add colored slats designed for chain-link fences.

Paddock

If you own horses, Freedom Fence and Deck is at your service to install a horse fence for you! Paddock fences are common for horse fences, consisting of fence posts with two or three rows of fence planks. Sometimes, the fence planks create an X pattern at the top or bottom.

Residential Fence Materials

There is more to fences than their styles. Choosing one fence material over another can be a game-changer.

Wood

Fence lumber comes in three main categories: pressure-treated pine, Western red cedar, and exotic hardwood. Pressure-treated pine is affordable lumber with a preservative chemical infusion, Western red cedar is a softwood with aromatic naturally-preservative oils, and exotic hardwood like Ipe and Tigerwood are beautifully dark and are known for their density.

Composite

Composite fencing is a combination of recycled wood and plastic fibers. This fencing can look like natural wood, but doesn’t come with the ongoing need to sand and seal it. Composite fences come in many attractive styles and colors and are a budget-friendly low-maintenance fence option. 

Vinyl

Vinyl fences are made of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) plastic and are made to withstand the outdoors. Vinyl fences are moldable to fit many standard and custom fence designs, and they require very little maintenance. Today’s vinyl fences resist warping, cracking, and discoloring better than ever.

Aluminum

Aluminum is a lightweight metal that provides decent security as a property fence. If you want a beautiful, budget-friendly metal fence for your swimming pool or property, then aluminum fencing is a great choice. It will not rust and requires very little maintenance.

Steel

Steel is the strongest fence material on the market. As a fence material, it can come at a higher cost as an ornamental metal fence, but at a lower cost as a chain-link fence. It resists rusting and needs minimal maintenance. 

Tips for Choosing the Right Fence in Harford County, MD

With so many fence styles and materials available, how do you know which combination is best for your residence? Criteria to consider include your budget, your privacy and security needs, your home exterior style, and how much effort you want to put into maintaining the fence.
