Top 2 Fence Options For Maximum Privacy

Wood Fence

One of the most common materials to build a fence is pine. A wood fence can create a traditional look and provide a great deal of privacy for your backyard depending upon the style of wood fence.

Wood type may vary depending upon availability in your area. It is important to note that wood fencing, while being an affordable option, will require more maintenance than other fence types like vinyl and aluminum. Wood fencing lifespan can be increased by adding a protective finish like stain and sealer. This also may require reapplication in the maintenance of the fence lifespan. Wood fences are susceptible to the elements and will wear down over time. 

Vinyl Fence

In your search for the perfect fence to add privacy to your pool, you should consider vinyl fencing. Vinyl fencing can add the charm of a beautiful, white-picket-fence-look that is very traditional yet appealing for homes. While the large privacy panels of vinyl fence offer amazing privacy for your pool and patio area.

Vinyl fencing doesn’t only come in white however. Vinyl fencing is usually available in a variety of styles, colors, and accents depending on your budget.

Vinyl fencing eliminates the need to paint or apply finishing stain and sealers. While the surface of the vinyl fence may collect dirt or organic growth, the color of your vinyl fence will not fade. Vinyl fencing is also very durable and will not wear down as quickly as wood.

It has a long-lasting and protected exterior that is easy to keep clean and look new for an extended period of time. It is also a popular option for security since you can have it installed in a variety of heights.

Depending on the style of vinyl fence, you can get almost 100% privacy. The initial investment is widely considered to be more worthwhile because the lifespan of vinyl fencing outlast wood fencing options.

Cost of Pool Fences

A factor that will impact your decision on a fence will be the cost. Adding a privacy fence to your pool and patio area or backyard is not a small project. The cost should be weighed carefully to fit your budget.
