Alabama Fence Types: How to Choose Your Best Fence

Property owners across the Alabama and Florida regions we serve are always asking the question, “Which type of fence is best for me?” It’s a great place to start when looking for a residential fence and even those looking for commercial fencing in the area. There are a few key considerations we will explore here to help you filter through the options to answer your questions.

 

What Qualifies as the “Best Fence” for AL and FL?

Interestingly, the “best” fence for the Alabama Gulf Coast and Florida Panhandle regions depends on what you mean by “best”. For some people, “best” simply means the strongest fence. To others, the “best” fence is the one that lasts the longest. Even to others, the most economical residential fence will be the one that requires the least amount of maintenance. Naturally, whatever your priorities will determine your best options to pick from. 

 

Usually, price plays a part when choosing the “best” fence, too. If the fence you’re considering is more expensive, but is only marginally stronger or lasts only a little longer than its less expensive counterpart, it’s up to you to determine which is worth it for you and your property. It’s all about your goals! 

 

Only you can decide what you need most! Take the time to read over all of the options for residential fences, and make your priority list. As you go, you will see which types fit into your plans best. In the end, you’ll be able to make the most educated decision to install a fence that works perfectly in your Alabama or Florida property.

 

Types of Fencing That Are Best for Alabama and Florida Properties

Each type of fencing material has its own set of pros and cons. The key to choosing the best Mobile, Alabama residential fence or Tallahassee, Florida home or business is to thoroughly understand the differences between each type of fence. Let’s review them here!

 

Wood Fence Choices

Wood fencing is a lovely way to add a natural look and a strong boundary to your space. They are one of the best types of fences to customize as they are the most versatile in style, size, design, and color. Some of the styles of wood fencing are traditional picket, split rail, board on board, stockade, and shadowbox. Each style comes with its own unique look and features. Easily painted or stained to match your property look, wood fences need refreshing every couple of years to keep from cracking and looking run down.
