Are you considering having a fence installed on your property? Carefully choosing your fencing styles ensures function, aesthetic harmony with your property, and cost-effectiveness. The perfect fence enhances privacy, security, and curb appeal. Thinking these things through before a fence company begins work ensures that your investment will stand the test of time. It's a great investment too as, according to Lawn Starter, a professionally installed fence can increase your property value by as much as 10%. Let’s look at some wood fence options you might want to look over with your fence company.

1. Vertical Board

In our experience, vertical board fences are a common choice. These are also sometimes called board-on-board fences. These are constructed by attaching every other picket to the opposite side of the rail. The overlapping design creates a durable fence that’s both attractive and private. This type of fence looks good from either side and offers the best privacy.

2. Post and Rail

Another option is post and rail fences. These feature long smooth-cut rectangular rails that are suspended between large posts. This type of fence can be used for establishing property boundaries rather than for privacy or security. You can create these types of fences to look like rustic split rail fencing as well. Our experts agree that this is a perfect option for agricultural property, either to establish boundaries or to contain livestock. Since this option is made of less fencing material, it’s affordable and easy to install. A fence company can help you get a post and rail installed quickly.

3. Lattice Fencing

Lattice fencing is created using crisscrossed strips of wood. This makes for an attractive design that can even be ornamental. This is a great option for garden areas as it helps to keep out critters and pests. It does, however, allow in a lot of light and air so that plants grow healthy.

4. Picket Fencing

Picket fencing is a classic design that is used for decoration and to denote property lines. Picket fences are created using evenly spaced pickets so that there is some visibility while also providing some security. This style is used to secure a boundary and still seem welcoming to guests.
