In the past if you needed a fence around your property you would buy the lumber and you and perhaps a few of your neighbors would go to work building something that would last for a few years. Wood fences look great and they do their job, but there are some draw backs to them. Wood fences are becoming more and more expensive to build because the cost of lumber has risen. In addition, even treated wood will rot with age and exposure to the elements. Another problem is that if you paint the fence, you will need to repaint it from time to time, requiring a lot of your time and energy.
