Fence Material and Maintenance Questions
What Type of Fence Requires the Least Maintenance?
Vinyl and aluminum fences require the least maintenance. They don’t need to be painted or stained and are resistant to rust, rot, and insects. A quick rinse with a hose is usually all that’s needed to keep them looking new.
How Long Will My Fence Last?
Fence lifespan depends on the material:
- Vinyl: 25–30+ years.
- Aluminum: 30+ years.
- Chain Link: 15–25 years.
- Wood: 10–20 years (with maintenance).
- Steel Post-Mounted Wood: 20–30 years.
We use only high-quality, weather-resistant materials to maximize the longevity of every fence we install.
Can I Customize the Look of My Fence??
Yes! We offer custom fence designs, colors, heights, and styles for all materials. From decorative caps on wood fences to color-coated chain link and ornamental scrollwork, we can build a fence that fits your unique vision.

Specific Fence Types and Use Cases
What’s the Difference Between Chain Link and Privacy Chain Link?
Standard chain link is see-through, while privacy chain link includes slats or screens that reduce visibility. Privacy chain link is perfect for backyards, businesses, or pool enclosures where you want both durability and discretion.
What’s the Advantage of Mounting Wood Fences on Steel Posts?
Mounting wood fences on steel posts increases strength, stability, and longevity. This setup is ideal for areas with high winds or shifting soil and helps reduce long-term maintenance costs. The posts can also be hidden for a seamless wood look.
Can You Build a Fence Around My Pool?
Yes! We install code-compliant pool fencing using vinyl, aluminum, or chain link. These fences meet safety regulations and are designed to prevent unauthorized access while maintaining a clean, stylish appearance.
What Kind of Fence Do I Need for Livestock or Horses?
For livestock, we recommend woven wire, barbed wire, or pipe fencing. For horses, smooth wire, electric fencing, or rail-style fences are safer and more appropriate. We also install game fencing for deer and exotic animals.
