Choosing a new fence these days is much harder than it used to be, but this is a good thing, and it is because there are so many more options to choose from. However, with so many options available, the process of narrowing them down is often the most challenging part of the process.

If you are looking for long-lasting residential fencing, the materials below are all worth considering.

Composite

An ideal choice for those that want to have an environmentally friendly home, composite fencing is made from recycled plastic and wood. It creates a look of wood, but does come with the drawbacks of wood, such as requiring painting or staining to maintain an outstanding appearance.

Although composite fences are fairly lightweight, they perform incredibly well at handling strong winds and even some impacts. However, it may not be an ideal choice if you want maximum strength.

Concrete

One of the best all-around fencing materials that a homeowner can use is concrete, and this is because it generally surpasses the strengths of other fencing materials, while also avoiding its downfalls.

For instance, a concrete fence can last an extremely long time, but it also requires almost no maintenance, possesses no risk for insect-related problems, and can be designed to fit almost any landscape.

Vinyl

If you thought a wood fence was strong, then you will enjoy knowing that a vinyl fence is even stronger. Also, vinyl fencing does not need to be treated with anything to prevent pest problems. Another benefit of this material is that you should have no problem getting it in the color you need to match your home.

With all of these benefits in mind, the fact that it is almost maintenance-free is simply icing on the cake.
