PROS OF WOOD FENCING

Wood fences are adaptable and may be tailored to meet personal preferences, whether it’s a classic picket fence or a more contemporary horizontal style. They may also be stained or painted to fit any color scheme.  Wood fences are sourced through sustainable manufacturing processes and do not contain any harsh chemicals making them safe for pets and gardens.   Wood fences are a durable and affordable option for homeowners because they can last for many years with proper upkeep.

WOODEN FENCE CONSIDERATIONS

When selecting a wooden fence, it’s essential to consider the type of wood used. The strength and resistance of various wood species to decay and pests vary. Additionally, the desired level of privacy and the property’s aesthetics should be taken into consideration while choosing the style and height of the fence. Consideration should also be given to maintenance needs, as wood fences may require the recurring need to stain or seal in order to keep the elements out. The upfront cost savings and long-term maintenance costs of  a wooden fence should also be compared to those of alternative options.

PVC FENCE CONSIDERATIONS

When choosing a PVC fence, it’s important to consider the quality of the material. High-quality PVC will last longer and be less prone to fading and discoloration than lower quality options. The PVC fence should blend in with the surroundings and provide the desired functional elements, such as security or privacy. The manufacturer’s guarantee is also something to consider because it gives you confidence in the fence’s durability. Finally, it’s critical to compare the price and long-term advantages of a PVC fence to those of other materials, considering aspects like upkeep, durability, and environmental impact.

WOOD & PVC FENCE COMPARISON

Wood fencing is perfect for those seeking a classic, natural look with timeless appeal. Its cozy, country charm accentuates the appeal of classic houses, cottages, or places with a natural theme. Picket fences, privacy fences, and decorative styles are just a few of the many design possibilities that wood fences provide. They mix in perfectly with the surroundings, creating a wonderful backdrop for gardens and other vegetation. Wood fences are ideal for residential locations, such as backyard enclosures, where security and privacy are priorities.  Wood is the most economical option for a privacy fence however it is important to consider product imperfections and irregularities as well as maintenance and long-term replacement costs in choosing a natural product vs a man-made product such as PVC.

PVC fencing is an excellent choice for homeowners who value low maintenance and a clean, modern appearance. PVC fences are available in a variety of forms, including sleek, modern styles and unique textures.  They give any environment a polished appearance with their clean lines and consistent color. Due to their resistance to rot, warping, and insect damage, PVC fences are manufacturer to withstand harsh weather conditions that we face in Ottawa.
