A fence refers to a structure that is designed to enclose an area, usually outdoors. A fence is usually constructed of posts that are connected to each other by netting, rails, or wire. Fences and walls are differentiated by one major fact, that is, walls have a solid foundation running along their entire lengths while fences do not. Palm Beach fence constructors are quite experienced in this field to offer any kind of service one may want.

There are two major ways of classifying fences, that is, construction and function. Classification based on function produces several types of fences including agricultural, temporary, decorative, acoustic, pest-exclusion, perimeter, newt, snow, pool, boundary, privacy, and pet fences. The purpose of agricultural fencing is to confine livestock in a given area and to keep predators out. Special materials are used in the construction of acoustic fences so as to lower levels of noise pollution.

Security and privacy are the main purposes of installing privacy fences. Privacy and temporary fences have some similarity in function but they also have major differences. Temporary fences may offer privacy and security, but they also direct traffic and offer safety. They are commonly placed around construction sites to direct human traffic and they are removed when construction is over. Perimeter fences prevent kids and pets from wandering off. They also prevent theft and trespassing.

Fences are sometimes installed to improve the beauty of a property. Here, fencing is installed simply for the purpose of improving how the property looks to outsiders. Such fences are placed around landscaping of some sort such as gardens and lawns. Demarcation of boundary can also be done using boundary fences on real property. Multiple functions mentioned above can also be served by one fence.

Classification of fences based on what they are constructed from results in several types of fences, including brushwood, palisade, close boarded, chain-link, ha-ha, picket, roudnpole, concrete, post-and-rail, and hurdle fencing. In brushwood fencing, wires are placed on the two sides of brushwood to hold the brushwood compactly together. On the other hand, wires used to make chain-link fences are interwoven to make a tight net.

Close boarded fences are very strong and robust. The fence is made from arris rails, vertical feather edge boards, and morticed posts. Hurdle fences are made of moveable sections, which are placed close to each other. They moveable sections may be connected to each other or they may not. There are different mechanisms of connecting the sections together.

Various materials are used to make fences. The function of the fence is a major determinant in the choice of the material used for construction. Some common materials in use are wood, metal, and plastic. All these materials are known for durability and strength. They are easily available in the market because they are currently being produced in large numbers by manufacturers.

Vinyl fences are also becoming increasingly popular because of the advantages they provide to homeowners. Besides being durable, they are lightweight, easy to clean, and low maintenance. They come in a wide range of colors, even though they may also be painted according to personal preferences. Vinyl fencing are also comparatively cheaper.
