chainlink never needs cleaning, but looks like crap

wood will need sealing, but looks the best imo

vinyl can just be washed with a pressure washer and some bleach. expensive, but looks pretty good. some folks think it looks cheap, but i like it.

i vote vinyl

11/16/2008 1:21:01 PM

i was thinking vinyl too, because it's solid (i.e. not see-through) and doesn't rot out

i dunno the price comparisons or install differences between them though

does raleigh have any sort of fence height regulation?

probably only have to deal with a HOA if you have one.

otherwise, i'd imagine you're good to go.

[Edited on November 16, 2008 at 3:50 PM. Reason : chain link is $texas because metal is pretty high now. vinyl is expensive, but worth it imo]

chainlink + razor wire ftw

11/16/2008 4:06:38 PM

i don't think i need to go that extreme

i vote for wrought iron--or fake aluminum wrought iron

11/16/2008 5:11:15 PM

i like wrought iron, but i want a solid fence

Wrought iron fences are actually aluminum. I don't think anyone actually installs iron fences these days. You can find more information and some pictures at http://www.harrisonfence.com/alum.php

I got a wood fence from Harrison Fence. My friend is actually an installer for them so I got a really good discount. Richard, if you mention my name I am sure you'll get a really good deal too.

The cost of wood vs. Vinyl is why most people choose wood. Wood requires more maintenance than vinyl. For a good budget, check out Lowes' prices on installed fence. Keep in mind that gates, corners, etc. will cost extra.

please don't get vinyl.

^ second, Wood all the way. If you can't paint/stain/seal if ever few years you dont deserve a good looking fence anyways, come on big man.. step your game up
