For a durable, ecological and attractive fence, opt for a wooden fence. It can be adapted to fit your style : more traditional or modern and original.

Eight-foot treated wood panels are also available for approximately $85. (sources : Revampo, RenoDepot, Ecohabitation)

If you are looking for a less costly fence that is quick and easy to install, in addition to being extremely durable, then the chain link fence is the perfect option. However, you’ll have to forfeit privacy. Base models are available starting at $12 per linear foot. Slats can also be added to increase privacy and cost around $ 0 for a pack that covers 10 feet.
