Wood is one of the most affordable materials to use for your security fence, but also requires a little more maintenance.
A security fence is a great way to enhance your business security and perimeter protection. Once you’ve decided to invest in a security fence, the next step is deciding which material you will use to build it. You can choose from steel, chain link, aluminum, and more. Wood is also a good material to use for fencing. Here is some information on wood fencing to help you decide if it’s the best material for your privacy fence.
Noise Reduction
Since wood fences do not have any holes in them, it creates a solid wall around your property. This is a great way to reduce the amount of external noise that gets inside. While you may not be able to eliminate all of the noise, it will definitely help against everyday traffic sounds, people passing by, and other noises.
Blocks Wind
Another good thing about using wood for your security fence is that it also helps when the wind gets strong. Your wood privacy fence will help to keep strong wind gusts from getting past and into your lawn space. This is beneficial if you have to step outside for some reason on those chilly day.
Cost-Effective
Wood is one of the cheaper material options for your security fence. This is great for businesses that want to increase their security and not break their pockets. Not only is it affordable, a wood privacy fence is also very easy to install and uninstall. Wood is biodegradable, making it an environmentally friendly material to use.
Maintenance/Lifespan
Unlike other fencing materials, wood does need to be painted on a regular basis to keep it looking fresh and new. Wood fences typically last between five to ten years, depending on how well they are taken care of. Decomposing wood can begin to grow fungus or dry root. Wood also tends to fade and crack over time and is a material that can be eaten by small bugs.
