Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) February 22, 2012
Most people have heard the old adage, good fences make good neighbors. While its true that fences can help neighbors get along, they also add value and visual interest to a home.
Homeowners are placing a higher value on exterior spaces these days and realize that fences just like decks, patios, and gazebos – can help create the perfect outdoor living space. A family may not be able to afford to go on vacation during these economic times, but they can certainly enjoy their backyard more, says Mario Hinojosa, owner of Creative Outdoors. A durable, low-maintenance fence that offers privacy and/or security is a key component for creating an outdoor oasis.
Since a fence is one of the most enduring, characteristic aspects of any home, its important to choose the right fencing materials. Here are a few tips regarding the many different options available:
Redwood, Cedar and Exotic Hardwood Fences
For those who prefer traditional materials, cedar is a popular choice. Although cedar does require some maintenance, its rich tone is undeniably beautiful. This type of wood has natural deterrents to insect infestation, is resilient in the worst of climates, and easy to stain and seal. Redwood fencing is generally more expensive than cedar, but contains a higher level of natural oils that helps protect a fence over time and reduces maintenance requirements. Those who want a fence that stands out from the rest may choose one of the more expensive exotic hardwoods.
Vinyl Fences
In the last few years, theres been a surge of interest in vinyl fencing. Why? Homeowners love the fact that they do not have to paint, stain or seal a vinyl fence ever. Unlike wood, vinyl will not warp, rot, split, corrode, and is easy to clean. Vinyl is a great option for fencing a pool area since the material can withstand exposure to pool water and chemicals. These are all great bonuses for homeowners who have less time for maintenance. Although originally known for its bright white appearance, todays vinyl fencing is available in a number of exterior colors. Vinyl fences can also be made from a hybrid type of composite material to look like wood.
Creative Outdoors, with a combined 65 years of experience in carpentry, has extensive experience with redwoods, cedars, and exotic hardwoods and can provide advice for maintenance and preservation for those who still prefer traditional materials. On the other hand, this company stays up-to-date on new technologies and techniques and encourages consumers to call and ask about the advantages of vinyl and composite fencing and the constantly evolving availability of new colors and styles.
