Fences not only provide privacy, but they also keep our children, pets, and gardens safe. Pool fences and garden dividers even block off specific areas. But deciding on the type of fence to surround your yard with can be overwhelming. Do you opt for classic wooden fence or modern iron? What about hedges or trellis frames? There are lots of choices, and they get expensive fast, especially if you have a large backyard. Luckily, there are lots of cheap fence ideas that still look great.
To determine the right kind of fence for you, think about your priorities. If durability matters the most, metal is the best option. Wood fences are timeless and stylish, but they're also highly prone to wear due to weather and age, and they can require a good amount of maintenance. The least expensive type of fencing is chicken or hog wire. It's great for keeping pests out of your garden and animals contained, but these wire fences aren't the most aesthetically pleasing—although we have ideas below on how to spruce them up. There's also PVC fencing, which is lightweight and offers a classic look for a lower cost than real wood or metal. If you need a fence now, the easiest type of fence to install is a no-dig fence. While these fences are great for temporary use and are easy to maneuver, they aren't sturdy or weather resistant because they aren't secured into the ground.
The best inexpensive privacy fence ideas combine style and substance, keeping your family safe without blowing your budget. Whether you want wood, wrought iron, wire, or trailing vines, we're highlighting 10 cheap fence ideas that actually look expensive ahead.
