Fence Project - Fencing Types

Wire mesh fencing.

During this project, I had to determine the best type of fencing for the project. Each of my researched types had positives and negatives. The following is my research findings.


Chainlink fencing
+Cheap
+Durable
-Doesn't really work with the nature atmosphere

Plastic fencing
+Cheap
-Not very durable
-Doesn't really work with the nature atmosphere

Wooden fencing
+Very durable
+Works well with nature atmosphere
-Difficult to do; more time-consuming
-More expensive than other methods
-Cumbersome

Metal wire mesh fencing
+Very durable
+Cheap
+Easy to install
-Doesn't work all that well with nature atmosphere, but is used in many other places in the area

I ended up going with the metal wire mesh fencing, because it was best suited for the situation. It is also what the Parks, Trails, and Rec. center had recommended to use. It is rust-resistant and was very easy to install with U-shaped nails that go into the wooden posts.
