Questions to help you choose the right fencing materials

Wood, metal, or wire fencing materials - the wide range of materials to choose from can be positively overwhelming. Ask yourself these questions if you are on the fence about which to choose.

• How much do you value privacy? Wood fencing materials are good for blocking prying eyes. Just be wary that having high wood fencing gives the impression of unapproachability and can impact resale value.
• Is safety and security one of your topmost priorities? If so, steel metal fencing materials are sturdy and hard to breach.
• Do you have pets and livestock on your property? If so, wire mesh and garden fencing materials are your best bet to let these animals wander around the area. They do not hurt your animals and can keep them away from your plants.
• Do you need to keep the roos away? Although roos are mostly friendly, they need to be kept away from your yard to avoid property damage. Steel metal fencing materials are great for these purposes.
• How much upkeep are you willing to do? Wood fencing materials require regular staining while metal fencing (although requiring less maintenance), if damaged can be hard to replace due to the variations in the metal amongst manufacturers.
