A fence does more than mark property lines—it enhances privacy, security, and curb appeal all at once. Whether you’re replacing an old fence or installing a new one, choosing the right type is key to balancing style, function, and budget. At Above & Beyond Fencing, we help homeowners across Oklahoma find the perfect fence for their space, offering expert advice, durable materials, and craftsmanship that lasts.
1. Start with Your Purpose
Before picking a material, think about why you need a fence. Is it for privacy, safety, pets, or simply to improve your home’s look? For example:
Privacy: Wood and vinyl fences offer solid coverage and natural beauty.
Security: Wrought iron and chain link fences provide strength and visibility.
Curb Appeal: Decorative wood or ornamental metal fences can elevate your exterior design.
Knowing your purpose will guide the rest of your decisions—from height and style to maintenance needs.
2. Consider Oklahoma’s Climate
Oklahoma’s weather can be unpredictable, with strong winds, heat, and storms that test a fence’s durability. Wood offers a classic look but may need sealing and occasional maintenance. Wrought iron stands firm against high winds and adds timeless character, while chain link offers low-maintenance protection that fits both homes and commercial spaces.
At Above & Beyond Fencing, we help you choose materials that can handle local conditions and still look great for years.
3. Factor in Maintenance and Longevity
Every fence material has different upkeep requirements. Wood needs regular staining or sealing to stay weather-resistant. Metal fences may need occasional rust treatment, while chain link fences require minimal attention. Choosing a fence that matches your maintenance comfort level ensures it remains sturdy and stylish over time.
4. Think About Your Home’s Design
Your fence should complement your property, not compete with it. For brick homes, stained cedar or redwood pairs beautifully with warm tones. For modern homes, black wrought iron or horizontal slat designs can create a clean, contemporary look. Our team ensures your fence blends seamlessly with your home’s architecture and neighborhood aesthetic.
5. Don’t Forget Local Rules and Permits
In Edmond and other nearby cities, fence installations often require permits that dictate height, setbacks, and materials. That’s where Above & Beyond Fencing makes things easier—we’ll help with the paperwork and ensure your project meets all city or HOA guidelines.
6. Work with Trusted Professionals
Choosing the right fence starts with choosing the right team. Our licensed and insured experts handle everything—from the first estimate to the final walkthrough—with transparency and care.
