Different Fence Types

We’ve all heard the phrase “Good fences make good neighbors.” It’s a proverb that dates back centuries and has been used in everything from the poetry of Robert Frost to countless TV shows and movies, and it’s certainly one of the most widely-respected rules today. There are places and countries that go overboard, and there are anomalous regions without borders – the US and Canada being the most notable example, sharing the largest open border in the world – but on the whole, internationally and at home, it’s true.

Nowadays, fences are not restricted to wooden pickets or split rails. They come in all varieties, including aluminum, steel, wrought iron, vinyl, barbed wire, bamboo, and temporary plastic fencing.

Best Fences for Commercial and Residential Properties

When it comes to protecting your property, family, and valuables, there is no better choice than fencing. It can be argued that security cameras are the best choice, but they are not.
