The lifespan of a fence varies by material. For example, a cedar wood fence typically lasts 10-15 years without proper care and double with infrequent staining, while vinyl and ornamental iron fences can last 30 years or more. The durability of your fence also depends on your local soil and how well it’s maintained. Build It ATX ensures long-lasting results with high-quality materials and expert installation.
Choosing the right fence style depends on your needs, privacy preferences, and property aesthetics. If you’re looking for privacy and security, a solid wood or vinyl fence might be ideal. For curb appeal, ornamental iron or horizontal wood fences offer a modern touch. Our experts at Build It ATX will guide you through the process, helping you select the best fence for your home or business.
Generally, you won’t need a permit to build a fence in Austin. However, certain situations—like fence height or location—may require one. At Build It ATX, we’re familiar with the local regulations and are happy to assist with the permitting process or help you navigate HOA approvals, making sure everything is in compliance.
Horizontal fences have boards that run horizontally, providing a modern, sleek appearance. They are a great option for enhancing curb appeal, while vertical fences stand tall and offer more privacy with evenly spaced pickets. Horizontal fences are typically more expensive than vertical fences.
Horizontal fences can provide a high level of security, especially when constructed with strong materials. While they offer a more contemporary design, they still offer good protection and privacy, depending on spacing and height. They are typically harder to climb because they do not have horizontal framing that can be used to climb the fence.
