The installation of a house fence is not only a way to protect yourself against break-in attempts. It is also a way to delimit a property. Being both a decorative and a security element, the fence can be made of various materials. Nevertheless, it must be made according to many criteria, including resistance and aesthetics. However, faced with the many possibilities, the choice is difficult. We suggest you discover different materials to help you make the best choice.

Wood

There are many possibilities for wooden fencing: logs, criss-cross lattices, diagonal slats, etc. Opting for wood to build a fence is an ecological gesture that contributes to protecting the environment. It is also an eco-responsible use of natural and renewable resources. In the construction field, wood is a trendy material because of its durability and attractive technical and structural properties.

Wooden fencing brings a natural and warm touch to your home. However, it can be exposed to different degradation and aging factors, such as various pollutions, fungi, insects, and weathering (rain, UV, snow, wind…). For the wood to resist the different external aggressions, it must be treated with specific treatments. In addition, the wooden fence offers the advantage of being aesthetic, but this will depend on the type of wood chosen.

Metal Fencing

In addition to security, a metal fence brings elegance and originality to your home. It is also an excellent choice to delimit your property durably. Metal is a very resistant material in the face of various external aggressions, shocks, and even bad weather. Depending on the know-how of the manufacturer and/or installer, you will enjoy an original and personalized fence according to your wishes.

Moreover, a metal gate can come in many shapes and colors, allowing you to meet all your desires. For example, you can opt for wrought iron to enhance your exterior. Aluminum will enable you to combine aesthetics and robustness. But it is always recommended to call a professional to help you choose the type of metal best suited for the manufacture and installation of fencing.

Vegetal fencing

The plant fence is one of the current trends. This option has many advantages. In addition to its ecological aspect, the plant fence allows you to protect your home from all kinds of pollution and toxic particles thanks to plants’ filtering and purifying properties. The leaves filter the polluted air and can retain dust, especially when your house is next to a road. In addition, plants add aesthetics to your home while highlighting the existing wildlife. Depending on your taste, various plants can be used for a fence, such as flowering plants or colorful berry plants like holly. From an economic point of view, a plant fence is less expensive in terms of maintenance and installation.

Concrete

Since security is the main reason for putting up a fence, concrete is an excellent choice. Concrete offers many possibilities in terms of shape and finish. This material can also come in a variety of colors, although its natural color will suit any style and environment of your garden. It can also imitate various building materials such as wood, aluminum or PVC. In all cases, concrete can meet all your expectations (aesthetics, strength, durability …).
