Here's a closer look at the residential fence types we currently offer:

An elegant and durable type of fencing with extra strength to keep your home safe. Steel is a strong and secure barrier that's great for heavy-duty home security. Steel fences are best for modern, contemporary, or historic homes.
Aluminum
A lightweight, yet affordable, mix of tradition and modernity. High-quality aluminum fencing is best for pool code compliance. It doesn't only look great. It also doesn't require much upkeep.
Composite
A great substitute for wood fencing. It's even stronger than wood and never rots. Composite fencing is best for busy homeowners, contemporary properties, and homes in harsh climates.
PVC
Vinyl fencing resists the elements and is always easy to clean. PVC fencing, including pickets, rails, and panels, won't splinter and blocks trespassers from viewing your property. PVC fencing is best for suburban and urban homes that need low maintenance.
Wood
A timeless and eco-friendly option that fits any home's aesthetic. Wood fencing is available in cedar and pine, which are both low-maintenance and fit almost any architectural style. Wood fencing is one of the best types of fences for homes that need classic backyard privacy.
Chain Link
A cheap, versatile way to improve your property's security. Chain link fencing is classic and affordable. It's best for budget-conscious homeowners who need durable boundaries.
Choosing The Right Type of Fence for Your Yard
With six types of fences to choose from, it's important to think carefully about which is best for your home. The First Fence of Georgia team is happy to help you decide. Here are a few of the factors you should consider:
Purpose
Think about why you're getting the fence itself. Is privacy a priority? If so, you may choose a slat-based chain link option, wood privacy, or even PVC privacy. For security, spear-picket aluminum and steel fences are difficult to climb or get through. For pool safety and pet containment needs, an aluminum or PVC fence is best.
Durability
First Fence of Georgia's fences can stand against anything thrown at them, including Georgia's sometimes harsh weather. Some are more durable than others. For example, steel is strong enough to be a one-time investment. Aluminum, although lightweight, offers superior coating. Your sales consultant can share all of the durability features of each type of fencing for yards.

Maintenance
Most of the types of fences we offer require little maintenance. For example, PVC fences only need occasional hose-downs. You may opt for PVC or aluminum over wooden options, which often require re-staining, if you don't have time for upkeep.
