Fencing

A well-known New England poet, Robert Frost, once wrote that ‘good fences make good neighbors.’ He was right. A well-designed, well-constructed fencing not only defines your own outdoor spaces and adds to your property value;. It also impacts your neighbors’ outdoor areas and can enhance the aesthetic value of your entire community. Ring’s End offers many types of fences in many styles and materials, from a classic picket fence made from weather-resistant vinyl to a rustic post and rail fence made from premium grade cedar.

Materials

white cedar

white cedar is a highly durable, very attractive wood that makes a beautiful wood fence. Although it has excellent natural rot- and insect-resistant qualities, cedar should be sealed with either an oil-based or a polyurethane sealant, or if left untreated, this will turn a natural gray color. .

Poplar

Treated poplar is often used for rustic wood fences. They look good but may not be the best choice for animal containment, as horses and other large animals like to chew on them.

Pressure Treated Wood

Pressure treated wood is a landscaping mainstay, as it resists rot and mildew while remaining relatively inexpensive. Among our choices of lattice, we offer pressure-treated wood lattice panels that look good, last long, and are kind to the budget. These panels can be stained or painted.

Spruce

Spruce is an economical wood fencing option. It is popular for stockade and other solid style fencing. The wood has an attractive whitish-gray color but will darken over time; you can also choose to paint it, but it is highly recommended that it me painted.

Vinyl

Vinyl fencing is a strong, durable, easily maintained alternative to traditional wood or metal fences. It is weather-resistant and comes in many designs, colors and textures; although it might require a larger initial investment, its long-lasting, low-maintenance qualities can make it cost-effective.

Steel , Galvanized Steel & Vinyl Coated

Most roll or utility fencing combines the strength of steel with the protection of galvanization—a process whereby steel is coated with zinc to prevent rusting. Galvanized coatings give roll fencing the advantages of less maintenance, longer life, and thus increased coast-effectiveness. Vinyl coated roll fencing and also lengthing the life of the same type of fencing but with an added curb apeal.

Copper

Copper caps and finials add an elegant touch to fence posts, gates, arbors, and railing newels. The distinctive color and sheen of copper provide visual appeal that only improves with time. Some products made of copper take on a rich green patina, whilte others will have a laquar applied, keeping the shiny copper color. Caps will fit 4” to 6” posts and are offered in slip-over or screw-in models.

How to Choose the Right Fence

Identify function.

What do you want from a fence? Privacy? Establishing a safe play space for pets and children? Security? Architectural and curb appeal? Each function might require different heights, materials, and design, such as vertical member spacing and line-of-sight considerations.

Decide on materials.

Budget is always a factor, but so is the balance between maintenance and appearance. A chain link or roll fence, for instance, requires little upkeep yet is not very stylish, whereas wood fencing is attractive but will need repair, re-staining, or repainting.

Choose a look to complement your house.

Picket fences complement Victorian, Cape Cod, and other traditional architectural styles, for instance; horizontal or vertical board fencing suits Ranch and Contemporary homes; post-and-rail or split-rail fences give a more rustic look. Post caps and finials can add extra distinction to your fencing.

Know your boundaries.

Not only do you need to know your property lines, you need to know community and municipal ordinances concerning setbacks, placement, and height. (It’s also a good idea to verify the location of underground utilities.) This knowledge can affect your choice of fencing materials and styles.
