There are so many different types of welded and woven wire fences available today. Making an informed decision about which fence mesh you should use can be challenging. How do you choose the right fence?
During the process of making your decision, take the following into consideration:
- How long do you want the fence or mesh to last?
- Will the fence be permanent or temporary?
- Is the appearance of the fence or mesh important?
- How visible will the fence be?
- Will your fence be partially hidden by trees or foliage?
- What factors or requirements determine the mesh size that you want to use?
- Are there any zoning or code limitations?
- What factors will determine the height of your fence?
- Do you want a barrier to keep people or animals out of an area?
- Is it important that the fence safely contain children or pets?
- What environmental factors exist that could potentially shorten the lifetime of the wire?
- Will the fence be exposed to corrosive substances?
- Does your project require a lot of labor and expense that will need to be repeated more frequently if you use a less costly product and the wires rust through and need to be replaced?
- Will the appearance of rusting wires be objectionable?
- Does it make sense to use a more expensive product with a longer lifetime?
- Do you want a galvanized finish or a less intrusive vinyl coated finish?
These are only some of the questions you may want to answer before going ahead with your project. A reputable and professional fence installer can also be a great help in guiding you to your final decision.
