There are many reasons you build a fence. Sometimes it’s for separation or privacy from your neighbours, sometimes it’s to hide an unsightly view with a nicer one. No matter what your reason for installing a new fence is, there’s one major decision you have to make: what style of yard fence is right for you? If you’re looking for a practical way to keep your neighbours’ eyes off your backyard, privacy fences are the way to go, if you want a more open feel you have lots of options.

Chain Link Fence

When you’re looking for a basic fence to get the job done, these fences are your best options.

Easily the most economical and functional of all fence styles. A chain link fence is a great option if you’re looking to keep your pets in and your neighbours’ pets out. If you’re concerned about durability or rust, chain link fences can also be installed with a weather resistant vinyl coating.

White Picket Fence

One of the first images that come to mind when fences are mentioned. A classic in its own right, white picket fences are loved for their simple style and durability. Traditionally made out of wood, modern picket fences are made out of PVC.

Aluminum Fence

Metal fences look great but be warned, they do come with a big price tag. Depending on how big your yard is, a metal fence may end up costing more than you bargained for. Luckily there’s a much cheaper alternative, aluminum! Aluminum is one of the least expensive metals used for fences and is durable and long-lasting- which is especially attractive in our Saskatchewan climate.

Bamboo Fence

A bamboo privacy fence is a statement.  Not only does a bamboo privacy fence make your backyard more discrete, but it also looks beautiful. Another benefit of bamboo fences is that they’re environmentally friendly and can be easily stained. While you may not think bamboo could work for your home in Saskatoon, you may be surprised to learn that bamboo is resistant to both excessive heat and snow! A real win-win for our harsh prairie climate.

Slatted Wood Fence

This slatted wood privacy fence not only looks great but it also helps to keep nosy neighbours out of your business. These fences are designed to allow some air and light to get through its thin horizontal slats. This way you can enjoy your privacy without feeling like you’re completely closed in.

Mixed Material Fence

Can’t decide on one material for your fence? Why not combine a couple to create your own custom look. This fence incorporates modern and classic design, creating a completely original look. Get creative and mix and match your materials for a look that’s unique to your home.

Sometimes the need for a fence is less practical and more aesthetic.

Custom Metal Designs

If you’re looking to really wow your neighbours, a custom metal designed fence style may be just what you’re looking for. Metal fences are among the more expensive, and once you add on the custom detail work, this decorative fence could end up costing a pretty penny, however, it looks amazing.
