Material Longevity
Wood fences last 10-15 years with maintenance, vinyl 20-30 years, chain link 15-20 years, aluminum 20-30 years, and wrought iron 40+ years with proper care. Higher upfront costs often mean better long-term value.
2025 Pricing Trends
Lumber costs have stabilized after 2021-2022 volatility. Vinyl and aluminum remain premium options with minimal maintenance. Chain link is most affordable but offers less privacy. Gate costs vary by width and automation features.
