Vinyl Fencing

Some experts argue that vinyl fencing is approximately four times stronger and more flexible than wood fences. Vinyl fences are easy to maintain because you can clean graffiti and other stains using soap and water. The long life span and low maintenance expenses make vinyl the cheapest fences than other types of fences.

Chain link fencing

Chain link fencing is a cheap fencing type that can serve your home for many years. This type of fencing’s primary role is the creation of physical barriers for the entry of intruders and the exit of pets and children at school playgrounds. The material is highly durable and requires little maintenance. However, chain links are susceptible to rusting and do not offer any privacy to your home.

You can grow rapidly growing vines, shrubs, and flowers on the base of the chain link fence to slightly increase privacy.

Picket

Picket wood fencing is a popular and cheap fencing type in the United States that provides privacy and protection to your property. The vertical spaced pickets attached to the bottom and top horizontal rails are available in various decoration styles that boost your curb appeal and home value.

Barbed wire

Barbed wire fencing is an inexpensive and secure method of creating physical barriers for livestock from leaving your yard and preventing the entry of wild animals such as foxes and jackals.

Nature fence

Hedges have been used as fences ever since the sixteenth century, protecting homes from intruders and soil erosion. Planting shrubs requires one to research the native plants and select the best plant whose mature size will provide adequate fencing. It would be most beneficial to visit the local nursery to find information regarding the best plants you could grow as your natural fence. For the process to be cheap, pick plants that are rapidly growing, require low maintenance, and are planted during the rainy season.

Although yew plants take years to form a mature hedge that protects your home, they provide an aesthetic appeal ideal for sunny and cloudy climates. Alternatively, you can grow the spotted laurel around the stonewall to provide an aesthetic appeal and privacy from neighbors and intruders. The bushy green plant is tough since it can survive salt-bearing winds and air pollution. You can select from a wide variety of private species available to grow your fence, which can reach about five to ten feet.

You can opt for bamboo fencing that will make your home seem more environmentally friendly and boost its appeal. Bamboo cane and rolled bamboo use poles connected that create a stronger, cheaper fence than live bamboo. However, homeowners living in areas experiencing colder climates should not plant bamboo as their fence.

"Following the Grade", "Racked", or "Rolling" Method

The method of “Following the Grade” allows your fence to contour to the natural slope of your land, maintaining a smooth, continuous line that follows the ground, minimizing gaps due to uneven terrain. 

This technique is ideal for gently rolling landscapes, as it provides a secure boundary that adjusts seamlessly to the terrain. At RMFI, our standard method of installation for residential fencing is a combination of straight top and racked to follow the grade, which is designed to provide an aesthetically pleasing look while leaving gaps to a minimum.

"Stepped" Method

Each section of a stepped fence is installed parallel and level to the next; following the rise and fall of the grade, creating a “stepped” appearance.

This approach is used in many modern-style horizontal and panelized fences, as well as rigid welded ornamental styles. It maintains a consistent height for each fence panel while accommodating an aesthetically pleasing modern look.

However, the stepping structure leaves gaps between the ground and the bottom of the fence on any slope and is not practical for containing animals or keeping the fence close to the ground.

"Straight Top", "Level", or "Line of Sight" Method

Though there are different names and different approaches, each of these refers to a method used to ensure a straight and/or level top line regardless of the land’s rises and falls.

This method is perfect for those who prioritize a seamless visual flow and a clean, uniform fence line. While the top of the fence is in a straight line, the bottom may have gaps as the uneven ground rises or slopes along the fence line.

This style is great for long perimeter runs on open land, homes without finished landscape or housing developments where the grade can be backfilled, and commercial properties.
