Style
Choosing an appropriate style will depend on the purpose of your fence. The privacy fences are constructed using solid panels. They are thick and tall (about 6 or 8 feet tall) therefore providing maximum seclusion and intimacy. Semi private fence are also constructed using solid panels, although they are short. Decorative fence are just like its name suggests with pickets that prevent children and pets from walking out. A good style must be able to match the style of a property and architectural plans.

Material
Materials are also another wide factor. Nowadays, the types of materials available for fencing have increased in diversity. Home owners have a wider range to choose from than before, for example, steel, iron, wood, vinyl aluminum and many more. Wood provides that traditional appeal. Although they are affordable, their maintenance is high. Fences made from metal are superior in strength and durability. The need little or no maintenance. Vinyl contains polyvinyl chloride which prevents it from rooting or fading. It can therefore last longer and is also maintenance free.
Component Or Panel
Another factor home owners must consider is whether they will use a panel or a component fence. Component fences are mostly wood. They are built on the site one after another. Although they will take more time, it is still the preferred method since it directly follows the layout of your property. A panel consist of pre-constructed panels, they cannot be built on site and do not follow the property’s layout though it’s much quicker.
