Fencing Materials

Fencing stands at the heart of American homeownership. There are few houses, young or old, rural or urban, that do not utilize some type of fence on the property. In this section of CalFinder's Library, we'll discuss the different types and styles of fencing available to the homeowner. Fences can provide privacy, security, and landscape appeal. They vary widely, not only in style, but also in price.

Wood, vinyl, aluminum, iron, and vinyl fencing are all different materials used in fencing. Each material has its own range of styles and grades. We will examine each type of fencing material and the array of available styles for each. In addition, you'll find clues to cost, installation, and other important factors that will help determine the type and style of fence best suited to you.
