Chain link, vinyl Fencing, wrought-iron and lattice are just some of the alternatives to wood fencing. Or, instead of pre-fab fence panels you can purchase cedar fence planks individually and assemble your own fence.
If you are so inclined, you can buy the wood and posts and build your own wood fence panels to a particular style or design. You can also use chain link fencing, depending on zoning restrictions and your purposes.

How to Select Your Wood Fence?
Almost any kind of fence, from traditional wrought iron bars to a wooden privacy fence, can be installed quickly and with less work by using pre-constructed fence panels. These fence panels simply require the installation of support posts, which the fence panels are then mounted or attached to. This is much easier than the more traditional route of building support posts and rails, then individually attaching each board. If you’re looking for a wooden privacy fence, consider the materials the panels are made from. Spruce and cedar often have the longest life, resisting warping, cracking, and peeling better than other woods. They are also beautiful woods, adding a lovely touch to any area fenced in with these panels. A six foot high privacy fence will turn your yard into a quiet sanctuary, allowing you to enjoy the outdoors without worrying about your neighbors or people passing by. When shopping for wooden fence panels, check out the construction of the panel. The individual boards should be securely attached to the back supports of the panel, with properly sunken screws or similar fastener. The panel should also be straight, not bent, and there should be no cracks or splits in the wood. Don’t purchase panels that are damaged, as they will continue to deteriorate and will fall apart fairly quickly after installation. Vinyl fences are also available in panels, and are even easier to install this way than wood fence panels. Most of the common designs offer simple slide or snap together construction, requiring the homeowner or fencing company to simple sink the supports in concrete and put the fence together. These fences look beautiful and less intimidating than wrought iron or a tall wooden fence. A white vinyl fence is a great way to add the white picket fence look to your home without constant repainting or peeling. Vinyl comes in a wide variety of colors, and stands up to the elements well. If it becomes dingy or stained, a simple pressure washer can get them back to their original cleanliness. No matter what kind of fence you’d like to install, fence panels may make the job much easier and quicker.

How To Create Your Own Space With Fence Panels?
Most homeowners do not possess the necessary carpentry skills to build a fence from scratch. That does not mean that the average homeowner cannot quickly and easily replace an old fence or install a new one on their property. The solution to building a fence quickly is to use pre-made fence panels. These panels are pre-constructed for immediate installation. They are available in different kinds of wood, PVC or plastic lumber, or chain link. A plethora of patterns, sizes and fence styles are available so any local ordinance regarding fencing can be met. Even strict HOA (Home Owners’ Associations) rules can be met with fence panels. PVC does have a distinct advantage over other fencing types. Most manufacturers have a lifetime warranty for their product against defects or failures. Wood and chain link generally have no such guarantees. Most panels are sold as eight-foot long units, but other sizes are available depending on the style and fencing material. Re-sizing can be done by the owner usually with a handsaw. Individual panels can be purchased at finances allow. If choosing this option the buyer should make sure the manufacturer or DIY store will still carry the desired pattern. This option generally works best with the standard wood panels. It is easy to create quick dog runs, horse pens at shows, and safe areas for children at RV parks or campgrounds. Craft show and flea market vendors often use decorative fence panels to create unique shopping areas. Some public parks allow temporary fences to be erected with panels for private parties. Wood is the least expensive material available, but requires regular maintenance. Chain link is more expensive and has fewer maintenance issues, but is subject to rusting. PVC or plastic lumber is the most expensive but will never rust, fade, crack mold or rot and requires no more maintenance than blasting with a hose. Fence panels are sold online, in catalogs and at most DIY stores and almost every lumber store carries them. Professional installation is always available for a fee. This service usually carries a warranty while homeowner installation might not. The delivery fee for online and catalog are usually expensive.
