Most durable fences: some of the top choices

​The most durable fence depends on the specific needs and preferences of the homeowner. Here are some of the most durable fence options and their characteristics:

A) Vinyl Fencing:

This is a popular choice for its durability and low maintenance. It is resistant to fading, cracking, and peeling, and is impervious to rot and insect damage. Vinyl fences are also available in a variety of colours and styles.

B) Aluminum Fencing: 

Durable and lightweight, it is a great option for both residential and commercial properties. It is resistant to rust and corrosion, making it ideal for areas with high humidity or saltwater exposure.

C) Steel Fencing:

Steel fencing is extremely durable and can withstand harsh weather conditions and impacts. It is resistant to rust and corrosion, but may require periodic painting to prevent rusting.  It is a good option for high security commercial or industrial settings.

D) Wrought Iron Fencing:

This a traditional and elegant option that is known for its durability and strength. It is resistant to rust and can last for decades with proper maintenance.  Because of this, it comes a noticeably higher price point than other metals.  For a wrought iron look without the hefty price tag, aluminum fencing is a popular choice.

E) Chain Link Fencing:

A versatile and durable option that can be used for both residential and commercial properties. It is resistant to rust and corrosion and is available in a variety of gauges and coatings to meet specific needs.

F) Wood Fencing:

The wood must be pressure-treated or be made of a durable wood species to last decades.  Pressure-treated fencing lasts an average of 15 years while cedar fencing can last 25 years.

​At Richmond Hill Fence, we take pride in providing durable and high-quality fence installations that withstand Richmond Hill’s changing seasons. From the harsh winter snowfalls to humid summer days, our fences are built to last. One of our recent projects involved a pressure-treated wood privacy fence for a homeowner in the Mill Pond area, who wanted both security and aesthetic appeal. The fence not only enhanced their backyard but also provided a sturdy barrier against strong winds. Similarly, a commercial property near Yonge Street and Elgin Mills Road opted for a wrought iron fence, ensuring both durability and an upscale look that complemented their business. These examples show how we customize fences to suit both residential and commercial needs in Richmond Hill.

Beyond strength and longevity, our fences add value and function to properties across Richmond Hill. A family in the Bayview Hill neighbourhood recently chose a vinyl fence for its low maintenance and long-lasting appeal, eliminating the need for constant staining or repairs.
