HOW DO I KNOW WHAT KIND OF FENCE I WANT TO INVEST IN?

Purpose of Fence |
Fencing Material Choices |

Boundary Marking |

Depends on budget and preference |
Each of the materials will mark boundaries; your decision should incorporate other considerations. |
|
Privacy |

Steel |
Steel comes in rigid panels and DuraBond’s fencing has an advanced coating technology that resists rust (10-year warranty and lasts even longer!). Wood shrinks, vinyl grows brittle, and cyclone plastic strips are not fully private. |
|
Security |

Cyclone |
Cyclone fencing can be erected to greater heights and can be topped with barbed wire or razor wire. This is an industry choice for pure security. |
|
Appearance |

Personal taste is a driver here, and steel fencing is very stylish, does not require regular maintenance, outlasts wood and vinyl, and – big bonus – DuraBond’s fencing is the same on both sides! Neighbor friendly! Cyclone fencing is considered too commercial for most applications. Wood is attractive, but regular maintenance is required which is expensive and/or time-consuming.

Keep Your Pets In/Keep Others Out |
Wood Vinyl Wrought Iron Steel Privacy Cyclone |
No winner here. |
Each of these materials will keep animals in or out if it’s six feet or higher, except Wrought Iron. Most people will choose a value in this category – and DuraBond’s fencing wins that battle hands down with a 10-year materials warranty. |
|
Shield from Wind/ Noise |
Wood Vinyl Wrought Iron Steel Privacy Cyclone |
Tie. Steel for wind, and Wood for noise, (though vinyl and steel are a close second.) |
No fence blocks all sounds, but wood absorbs a bit more sound than steel, but when it comes to wind, our steel privacy fencing withstands 135 mph wind gusts! |
|
Increase Value Over Time |

Steel |
Over time, steel privacy fencing retains its appearance with advanced coating technology, strength, and style. Also, the value of steel privacy fencing increases when you consider its initial prices and practically zero maintenance into the future (consider time, and cost of materials AND if you do not DIY, add labor!) Also, DuraBond comes with a 10-year warranty for chalking and fading, and it will look great even longer! |
