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.
