As with all other design choices, there are also popular styles and trends for fences as well. If you drive through your neighborhood, you’ll probably see different styles that either complement or detract from the style of the property it surrounds. If it’s time for an upgrade to your fence or if you’re ready for a new installation, check out these popular style options.
Mixing Materials
A trend that has been steadily rising in popularity is using the benefits of one material with the look of another. A great example of this is using a vinyl fence that has been stained to look like wood. Many people like vinyl because of its low-maintenance quality but prefer the natural and rustic look of wood. By staining it to look like wood, they get the best of both worlds. You’ll experience the benefits of installing a fence that will never rot but enjoy the beauty of a fence that resembles natural wood. You’ll also be able to choose from different shades of stain to achieve the perfect look.
Ornamental Fencing
Ornamental fences made from wrought iron are not only durable and strong, but they add a look of sophistication and status to every property they surround. Ornamental fencing is incredibly customizable, allowing you to add the features that work the best with the architectural elements of your home to create a fully cohesive design. This charming style is timeless and will never go out of fashion. Plus, the height and strength of this type of fencing adds reliable security.
Vertical Slats
If you’re into clean, modern lines that create a contemporary look, vertical slats made from steel are the way to go. It’s a simple design that many people have come to appreciate for its sleek and chic style. The vertical slats don’t use any horizontal planks, making this style of fence nearly impossible to climb for better security. The open rails, however, still allow a great amount of airflow and light to pass through the fence, providing modern style without completely separating your property from the rest of the neighborhood.
