Gonzales Wood Fences Service: Free In-Home Consultation
Wood fences add beauty and value to a Gonzales property while giving your family and pets a secure yard. They come in two basic styles, post-and-rail and board, and each fits a different look and level of privacy.
How Wood Compares With Vinyl and Metal
Three things homeowners weigh when comparing materials.
Cost
Board fences cost more than post-and-rail, but they are usually less expensive than vinyl or metal fencing.
Looks
Wood is a natural material that blends into its surroundings, and it comes in many styles that can be customized to your property.
Upkeep
Wood is durable and manageable to maintain. Repainting or restaining now and then keeps it looking its best.
Post-and-Rail or Board: Which Fits Your Yard
Your choice comes down to the look you want and how much privacy you need.
Post-and-Rail Fences
Boards attach to posts set in the ground and are joined by horizontal rails. Stacked closely, they can read like a picket fence or even a privacy fence. The open design suits decks and patios because it lets in light and air.
Board Fences
Vertical boards attach to posts set in the ground, with smooth tops and bottoms. Keep the fence low enough to see over, or build it tall enough to block the view entirely. It works well for screening a large open area or a building you would rather not see from your patio.
What to Consider Before Choosing Wood
Wood is a great fit for many yards. A few points are worth thinking through first.
Humidity and Rain
Damp weather is hard on wood, so a fence in a humid, rainy area needs good protection and prompt repair when boards are damaged.
Regular Maintenance
Painting or staining keeps wood looking its best and protects it. Build that into your plan from the start.
Wood Type and Color
Different woods and finishes let you match your color scheme and design preferences.
