RESIDENTIAL FENCING

When compared to other fence materials, chain link is among the least expensive to install. If budget is a big concern of yours, you really can’t go wrong with this type of fencing.

When properly installed, this fencing doesn’t require much maintenance at all. Thanks to galvanized, aluminized or vinyl coating, it won’t rust or gather dirt. The most you may have to do is trim off any plants growing up along the links.

Unlike other fence materials, chain link fencing is effectively see-through. Visibility can be a huge benefit, as it only allows you to see people approaching, but also enables sunlight to reach your property.

Chain link fencing can be installed much more quickly than other types of fencing. If you’re on a tight timeline or just want to have your property enclosed fast, this may be a major advantage. 

This type of fence is incredibly tough, as it’s made from interlocking coated steel wire. Plus, because the wind passes through the openings, the material is far less susceptible to weather-related damage -especially here in Samoa with Tropical Cyclones.

If a section of fencing gets damaged somehow – in an accident or from vandalism, perhaps – it can be cut out and replaced quite easily. And, since the coating will be a perfect match in color to the rest of the fence, the repair work won’t be noticeable.

 This strong steel fencing can create a secure barrier, keeping out anyone who shouldn’t be on your property. The fence can be built to a significant height, up to 20 feet if necessary, and additional deterrents, such as barbed wire, can be added at the top to prevent climbing. 

These types of fence helps to provide a little extra security to your property, deterring would-be thieves from entering your home. Security is important for every homeowner, and by installing fencing around your property, you’ll be making it more desirable, which can increase its value.

Tall aluminum or wrought iron fences can prevent the most skilled escape artist from clambering up them, and keeping them confined to the yard. They also help to protect your dog from being stolen, which common in Samoa.

These type of fences require less maintenance to retain their original shine. To keep them in a good condition, you’ll just need to clean the fence with a soft cloth, warm water and detergent a few times a year, and then rinse the remaining detergent. 

Aluminum / Wrought Iron is a malleable material that can be molded into all kinds of shapes. This has allowed the production of a huge range of aluminum fencing options, from simple panel fencing with narrow slats, to wrought-iron like fencing topped with decorative spears. It can be easily painted too, allowing you to pick a design and color that perfectly matches your home’s aesthetic. And with a beautifully-designed exterior, the value of your home will increase.   

Can't decided on what type of fence to get? How about going mixed walls using different materials?  Here's why people love to do mix fencing.

** The cost of constructing a mixed material fence can vary greatly depending on the materials your prefer.

Certain materials, such as chain-link, are considered budget options because they're easy on the wallet. However, such materials have their own value, such as being durable and low-maintenance. You can make such materials feel more upscale by blending them with luxurious materials. 

 Going along with the same example, chain-link is a flexible material. It's a metal weave that contractors unroll and fasten to posts. Over time, the top of the fence can sag while the bottom buckles. When you add the wooden framing, though, you get the sturdiness of the wood to help the chain-link hold its shape. 

 Along the same lines, each fencing material has its own unique benefits. Below are some examples:

• Wood: decorative, high-end, customizable
• Wrought iron: high-end, highly customizable, durable
• Brick: high-end, sturdy, private
• Chain-link: low-maintenance, budget-friendly, customizable
• Vinyl: low-maintenance, durable, attractive

When you mix materials, you get benefits from both.

For example, both brick and wrought iron are used to make luxury fences. Wrought iron is more customizable than straight brick because you have so many choices in ornamentation, pickets, and finials. However, brick conveys more privacy and sound buffering. With a brick-wrought iron fence, you get more customization along with better privacy and sound buffering.

 Beyond changing the characteristic profile of a given material, mixing mediums simply gives you more design options than sticking with a single material. Indeed, your imagination is your only limit.

Just deciding to mix brick with metal gives you numerous design options. You can keep it classic with red brick and black wrought iron. You can make the look more homespun with white wrought iron. Ornamented iron in bowed panels conveys a cottage appeal. Replacing wrought iron with laser-cut metal creates a modern profile.

When you mix fencing materials, you end up with a custom creation that lends a unique character to your property. Consider mixed-media fences to reap the benefits of both materials used.
