For your convenience, this is a very general guide to how the different types of fencing stack up to each other in terms of pricing:
Expensive initial investment. However, because these fences require no maintenance and usually come with a lifetime warranty - over time, these fences can often provide the best value. There is also some evidence that aluminum fences have the most positive impact on the resale value of a home, if you ever choose to move.
Chain link fencing is very common across Evansville Indiana because it is so versatile and so affordable as compared to just about every other fencing option. Adding upgrades and options will increase the cost of the fence to be more comparable to other types, but it's usually still the lowest priced option.
Ornamental steel fencing is one of the more costly types of fencing in the Evansville Indiana region due to the weight and strength of the metal and the craftsmanship it takes to build. When you are in the market for a new fence, speak to our fence professionals who can help you get a quote for whichever types of fencing you're looking for and help you find the perfect fit for your goals and your budget.
Once a very expensive option, standard styles and colors of vinyl fencing may actually be cheaper than other options! Together with impressive warranties, long lifespans, and low-maintenance costs - vinyl fences are a great solution for many different situations.
The cost of wood has increased tremendously in recent years, so it's hard to make a general statement about how wood stacks up to the cost of the other typers of fencing materials. While it does tend to be lower in price than the other options, the cost gap has definitely shrunk. It is also worth noting that there are real costs to treating, cleaning, and maintaining a wood fence over time.
We are asked this question all the time. The truth is that aluminum fences, chain link fences, ornamental steel fences, vinyl fences and wood fences, are all very popular choices in Evansville Indiana.
What we can tell you is the most popular style of each type of fencing:
This is the workhorse of aluminum fencing. Used for both residential and commercial applications, people all across Evansville Indiana choose this aluminum fence style for perimeter fencing around their yard, to protect pools, for decorative applications, and more.
Chain link fencing protected by PVC (or vinyl) colored coating looks great and lasts a very long time! No matter where you go in Evansville Indiana these chain link fences are everywhere!
The standard 6 ft. wood privacy fence is the style of fence that literally represents the entire industry. For many people, when you close your eyes and imagine a "normal fence" this is the image that many people across Evansville Indiana see.
Similar in style, design, and purpose to the standard wood privacy fence, the white vinyl version adds the additional benefit of coming with a strong warranty and is maintenance free! It's no wonder so many people across Evansville Indiana choose the standard white vinyl privacy fence.

Generally, 6' tall is the highest height for residential settings. When considering a wood fence, vinyl fence, or aluminum fence, 6' tall is common for privacy, and a 4' height is most common for decorative purposes and to keep small kids and pets in the yard. For a pool fence, 5' or 6' tall fences are required in some areas as a minimum height. Although some areas only require a 5' fence around a pool, we recommend 6' tall to put in the safest product possible to keep everyone safe. We can customize your fence to any height you desire.

DIY Fence Estimate
If you'd like to get a rough idea on your own about how much fencing you will need, follow these easy steps:
If you happen to know the dimensions of the area you wish to enclose, simply add the length of each side together. Use a tape measure, but rough estimates are fine, and there is no need to be too precise at this stage.
Be sure to subtract the length of any structures (like a building or a storage shed that will serve as part of the barrier). This will give you a rough estimate as to how much fencing you will need.
Subtract the length of any gates you will be using. The gates are often priced much differently than the fencing is. For this reason, we usually recommend that property owners list the gates separately. A standard commercial walk gate is approximately 4 feet wide, and a standard commercial drive gate can easily be 10 feet wide or more.

A pool fence is a crucial safety feature that helps prevent accidents and drownings, especially for households with children or pets.

Homeowners can benefit from the added protection and peace of mind that a security fence provides.

The height of semi-privacy fences can vary depending on individual preferences and local regulations. In residential settings, semi-privacy fences are often around 4 to 6 feet tall. This height provides an adequate level of privacy while still allowing some space to have gaps between the boards or pickets to allow for openness.
Yes, semi-privacy fences are designed to withstand various weather conditions. The specific durability depends on the material chosen for the fence. For example, wood fences will require periodic staining to protect against moisture and enhance their longevity.

With ActiveYards' Glidelock technology, vinyl pickets will not blow apart with high winds. In high winds, vinyl pickets can bow and come out of the rail. To prevent that, we use ActiveYards' Stay Straight technology, which uses rail locks to lock the rails together so they will not come out of the posts. These features make vinyl fences incredibly strong, while StaySquare technology fortifies the gates. Optional steel posts can be used to prevent the posts from bowing at the ground.
A wood fence has natural characteristics and beauty that most people love to look at. Wood also warps, cracks, checks, splits, and rots, which may not be what you expected. Vinyl fencing is clean, neat, and durable with a lifetime warranty and will stay looking like the original install for many years. Wood fencing needs to be stained, sealed, and protected within two weeks, which can be costly. This will need to be repeated every 3 to 4 years. The cost breakeven point is in about 5 to 7 years. If you have your wood fence any longer than that, it is actually more expensive than a vinyl fence.
The length of your vinyl fence installation will vary, but our team is fast and efficient! Most residential projects are completed in one day with our unique installation techniques.

Yes, we do. Our ActiveYards Cambium wood grain fencing is available for special order. We highly recommend Cambium vinyl fencing if you want a durable, high-security fence that looks like wood without all the maintenance. Cambium is much more durable and offers better protection than wood fences. It closely resembles redwood, saddlewood, and birchwood. This is a great alternative to installing a wood fence on your property.
Your professionally installed fence by Mr. Fence will not have large gaps under the fence. Our high-quality vinyl fences by ActiveYards are designed to follow the grade, which leaves no gaps, offering better protection for you and your loved ones.
Pressure-treated wood fences are a common choice for Evansville Indiana wood fences. However, any water absorbed by the wood evaporates at an inconsistent rate, causing warping, cracking, and twisting. Staining and sealing the fence can help reduce the severity of the splintering and cracking but will not fully prevent it.
On the other hand, cedar pickets are a longer-lasting option that is less prone to warping, splitting, and cracking. However, like all wood, cedar will eventually rot. We recommend staining and sealing your new cedar fence within two weeks of installation to help prevent this or choosing pre-stained wood.

We can create a number of custom pergolas to suit your property and your individual needs.
