Cinder Block Fence

If you want something that is extremely durable and sturdy to enclose your backyard, then you may want to consider installing a fence made of cinder blocks. Cinder blocks, also known as concrete blocks, are heavy duty bricks that have open centers to make walls built with with the bricks more stable.

Cinder block fencing can be extremely versatile for your backyard project. Depending on what you are looking to accomplish with your fence, it can be built low like a retaining wall or quite tall, like a security or privacy fence. You can also purchase cinder blocks in a wide array of colors and textures so that you can get just the look you want from your new backyard fencing. Cinder block fences are more permanent than many others. However, the upfront cost of this type of fencing or enclosure is slightly more expensive upfront than other fencing options.

Vinyl Fencing

Vinyl fencing is another option that you may wish to consider when you are planning to enclose your backyard. Vinyl fencing is one of the most stylistically versatile fencing options available. It comes in a variety of colors and textures to look like a hardwood or stone fence.

In addition to coming in a wide variety of color and style choices, vinyl fence panels are also saturated in color. This means that unlike a wood fence that is painted, the color runs all the way through the interior of a vinyl panel. The saturation helps to reduce color fading and loss, even if the panel is damaged in any way.

Vinyl is also a durable fencing material, and is impervious to damage from insects or other pests. It also does not succumb to mold or rot. This material, however, is not the sturdiest and may suffer damage or come down if you live in an area prone to heavy storms and extreme weather conditions.

Now that you know more about a few of the options available to you for your backyard fencing needs, you can be sure that you make the right choice for your home. For more info, contact a company like Harrington & Company.
