Understanding Ornamental Fencing

• Durability – Ornamental fencing, despite what material you choose is strong and sturdy, making it resistant to wear and tear. It can withstand harsh weather conditions and is less susceptible to impact. 

• Curb Appeal – Improves Curb Appeal. Of course, your fence is one of the first things you, your neighbors, and guests see when looking at your property. 

• Low Maintenance – This fencing option is a perfect way to add character and elegance to your property while still providing heightened security and marking property lines.

• Security – Protecting your home or business from theft or crime is something worth considering. While you’ll enjoy increased security and reduce the chance of someone breaking into your property, you’ll still find that you have a welcoming and attractive exterior to your home. Unlike a chain link fence, thieves won’t be able to easily cut through your ornamental security fences. While they may look very attractive still, they are incredibly strong, offering you the protection you need throughout the day and night.

• Materials - Aluminum is one of the most popular materials used in ornamental fencing because it is corrosion resistant and relatively inexpensive to produce. Other options are steel and wrought iron. Wrought iron will generally be your most expensive choice with aluminum being your most cost effective.

• Overall dimensions – The size of your fence helps determine the materials required and how much labor is needed to get the job done. The price per foot can change dramatically depending on the height and material type you choose.

• Powder coating – A powder-coated fence is a great investment for those looking for a sleek and modern look without the high maintenance of other fence materials. All of our fencing materials come powder coated. 

• Decorative features – Adding decorative features to your fence can increase the overall cost due to the additional labor and materials required. For example, adding ornamental accents such as finials, rings, and scrolls can increase the price

• Posts and caps – The number of posts needed for an ornamental fence depends on the size of the space being fenced, as well as its type. Generally speaking, short fences require fewer posts than longer ones due to their shorter length requirement. Additionally, when selecting posts for an ornamental fence, factors such as post style and strength should also be taken into account since these will directly impact the overall cost.

• Gates – Be sure to consider whether you will need gate access through your new fence. Knowing what type and size of gate you will need takes a little planning ahead. The three main ornamental gate options are swing gates, cantilever gates, and rolling gates. They can range in size and offer different types of access. If you need help deciding what kind of gate will work best for your project, we are happy to help you come up with a solution based on your layout.

• Perimeter Fence – Whether you’re a business owner trying to control access to certain areas or a homeowner trying to keep children or animals safely enclosed within the yard, Ornamental fence allows you to define the border around your property.

• Security Fence – Unlike other materials that can completely impede your view of what’s happening on the other side, ornamental fence allows you to maintain your visibility outside of the property. In areas where enhanced security is required, such as airports, military bases, correctional facilities, or industrial factories, pointed/spear top pickets can be added to minimize the ability to penetrate the enclosed area.

• Park or School Fence – Schools and parks across the country rely on ornamental fencing to create safe and secure barriers around them. Ornamental fence provides school children a clearly defined space for their play and delivers peace of mind for parents and school administrators.

• Curb appeal – Ornamental fences can enhance the look of a property and increase its curb appeal. Ornamental fences are commonly used used to define steep slopes or drop-offs. Ornamental fence can add a touch of sophistication to any environment.
