What Are The Different Types Of Wood Fences?

From the traditional picket fence to newer designed designs, here are the various types of fences you can choose from for your backyard. Many useful things can be done with the fence: protection, children and pets secure, wind and noise block and unattended dips in a swimming pool are avoided. But a clear aesthetic point is also made by the correct wood fence designs, enhancing the curb appeal of a home.

 

Different Types of Wood Fences

 

  • Fence Lattice

Wooden Lattice Fences are a common form of fence that gives any house privacy and beauty. Have wondered how a gateway looks? A grid contains thin diagonal laths that have been formed in a pattern of crisscross. The cross-section design creates square troops which give the barrier an extraordinary view. There are three other common types of lattice fences - cross-hair, horizontal and arch-style. In general, redwood and cedarwood styles come with grating fences. It is best to paint this form of fence in any colour. Typically, modern homeowners choose white or red fences.

  • Picket Fence

This type of fence design has been popular in the US since early colonial times. It was used in the USA. The pickets were traditionally sharpened logs used for defending their positions by early colonists. An "Americana" picket fence symbolizes an emblematic status of an ideal middle-class life. Thinking about a white picket fence, you think about a lovely house in the outskirts, with children and a family pet in the courtyard. It also refers to the relaxed, quiet lifestyle of a quiet, middle class quarter.

  • Rail Fence

Rail fencing is typically used in ranches, rails and posts. The best thing about these conventional fences is that they are all available in different types, widths and heights, at an affordable price. Although ranch fences are often made of wood, vinyl is also the common material for ranch fences to be invested in. Rail clasps require continuous maintenance, be it wooden or vinyl. If you have previously painted a wooden rail fence, you must continue to repaint it to prevent moisture and rotting. The thing you cannot paint on the ground is the bottom of the post. It will inevitably rot and must be substituted.

  • Wooden Framed Chain Link Fences

You may consider wooden chain link fences in order to enclose your property completely (temporarily or permanently).. These chain link fences are considered the most effective clamping solutions because of their sturdy and durable barbed wire. With the link fences around it, it is almost impossible for someone to access your house. Chain link fences can also be conveniently and rapidly mounted in addition to reliability. Slot, snow and rain are typically immune. These fences often have an appealing look with wooden frames all over them.

  • Cedar Fence

Cedarwood is a softwood variety originating in the Americas and in Canada. Native to the Americas. As a softwood, this wood can be called a short wood. However, cedarwood is a very sturdy wood type with a lifetime of more than 30 years. It's far from being the case. The wood is also able to tolerate other types of wood even though left untreated. Cedarwood is also natural resistance to insects and decay, making it sustainable and robust.

  • Pinewood Fence

In several parts of the USA, pinewood is a variation of softwood. Though this type of softwood is more weak than hardwood, it is naturally rigid and shock resistant. Pinewood makes the best wood for fences because of these characteristics. Thanks to its smooth texture, Pinewood is easier to deal with. The pine is usually more vivid and has a creamy white hue. But some pinewood varieties have a super white tint, while others have a yellowish-white hue. Another advantage of this color lightness is that they are more readily stained with any colour. A double or triple cloth will not be needed; a single coat will suffice.

  • Oak Fence

Oakwood is a hardwood variety that is found in about 600 species. Oak wood is supremely powerful and robust, native to the northern hemisphere. It features a light color with visible grain knots, making it look super distinctive. As compared to their colour, oak fences are best known by their wavy grains. A neat finish gives a lovely highlight to the wood, elevating the fence's elegance. The material shines brightly, producing a stunning color palette when natural oil is employed. The look of the finished oak is so beautiful without a heavy style or adornment. The oak fences can be rough and smooth, depending on the type of finish. But the stains will darken the grain too much and give it a two toned appearance. This is why oak fences should be preserved in their original colour. 

  • Cypress Wood Fence

Fences in cypress wood are typically yellowish-brown lighter in color. Some areas of the fence, however, may have dark wood pockets – an indicator that fungi have attacked the wood. The coarser texture of straight grains is another distinctive physical characteristic of cypress. Fences are not as robust as fences built of old cypress trees made of new cypress trees. It is best to ask the seller about the design of the cypress fence before you invest in cypress fences. Cypress has an abundant scent, like cedarwood, which can make people feel breathless. Do not invest in the cypress fences if you have allergies to the scents. The cypress is red and insect-resistant, as are many other wood types. This makes the wood durable and an outstanding wood fitting choice. The fact that they will pay is one of the downsides of cypress fences. Cypress trees come from the south of the US; their transport will raise overall costs for the trees.

  • Redwood Fence

Redwood is the wood used for wood fencing most often. Though expensive, its overall quality and esthetic attractiveness make it worth the cost. Since this wood version is red and resistant to pests, it is considered to be the best choice of a fence material. However, cleaning the fence with a stain is also recommended to improve the barrier. Continuous humidity and snowfall can easily impact redwood, thawing and dry air. And staining helps to preserve it old and weakened.
