Good fences make good neighbors, but not if the fence is rotting, fading, peeling paint, and being an eyesore.
Property owners want a fence that is easy to maintain and doesn’t require extensive upkeep. Some fences for example, wood, require regular maintenance in order to retain their beauty. Although visually pleasing, wooden fences need repaints and are generally high-maintenance.
Except for the occasional clean-up, there are some types of fences that are quite fuss-free. Not only that, they also offer a variety of design options to choose from and can last you a lifetime.
Here are our top 3 picks for low-maintenance fencing options.
1. Vinyl
Made from Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC), this type of fence is made from a specially made plastic that is durable, strong, as well as versatile. Although made of plastic, it has the grainy texture and finish of wood fencing, so it lends visual appeal but without the baggage of maintenance costs. It never needs touch-up paint jobs and dirt and grime can be easily hosed off with water.
Also, the thicker the vinyl fence, the stronger it will be. Make sure that when you’re getting a vinyl fence installation done, we recommend you get panels that are thick and stiff.
2. Aluminum
Aluminum fences are a more low-maintenance alternative to iron and steel fencing. Unlike iron, which can be prone to rusting, aluminum fences are made from a durable material.
It provides the aesthetic appeal of a wrought iron fence but without the high cost. Simply washing the fence with soap and water will help keep the fence in top condition. Occasional paint touch-ups will help the aluminum fence look as good as new.
3. Chain Link
Chain link fences have acquired a bad reputation because they’re not the most visually pleasing of fences you can choose.
However, the fencing is incredibly practical. Chain link fences use galvanized metal which prevents it from rusting. More so, you don’t need to paint or stain your chain link fence, it will still last you a lifespan. They also work as an excellent barrier for keeping intruders outside where they belong, and for keeping pets and children from wandering outside.
You can also spruce up the appearance of a chain link fence to make it seem more visually pleasing to the eye.
