Fence Types

When someone invests in a new fence, they’re looking for more than materials and panels — they want reliability, privacy, security, and a finished look that feels right the moment it’s installed. At Stand Strong Fencing of Fort Myers, our team approaches every project with that level of understanding. We build systems designed to last in Southwest Florida’s challenging climate, where sun, rain, humidity, and coastal exposure can break down lesser products in just a few years.

Because every property is different, the style you choose truly matters. Each option we install has been tested, refined, and selected for durability, appearance, and long-term performance. Whether the goal is quiet backyard privacy, a low-maintenance upgrade, decorative metalwork, stronger perimeter definition, or a layout suited for pets, recreation, or agricultural land, the right choice makes all the difference.

Types of Fences

Every property has its own needs and layout, so the best results come from choosing the style that fits your environment, maintenance expectations, and long-term goals. The options below represent the most reliable choices for Southwest Florida and serve as a starting point for exploring what works best for your outdoor space.

Aluminum Fencing

Aluminum fences offer strong corrosion resistance, making them ideal for coastal areas. Powder-coated finishes help protect color and surface texture, while aluminum's lightweight strength supports a variety of designs, from ornamental metal fence systems to open-view yard layouts—aluminum pairs well with climbing plants and other landscaping features.

Chain Link Fencing

Chain link fences use galvanized steel mesh and framework to deliver dependable durability. These systems work well for yards, pet areas, and larger properties where visibility is important. Chain-link can also be adapted with slats to create semi-privacy fences when additional coverage is needed.

Privacy Fencing

A privacy fence helps block views and create quiet outdoor spaces. Options include wood, composite, vinyl, and PVC fencing. Tongue-and-groove boards, overlap styles, and solid-panel designs support strong separation from neighboring properties while still offering choices in appearance, airflow, and maintenance levels.

Steel Fencing

Steel systems provide exceptional strength and structure. Galvanized steel resists corrosion and supports long spans without warping, making it suitable for both residential and high-security applications. Steel enclosures can range from simple, clean lines to decorative metal fence systems with ornamental detail.

Vinyl & PVC Fencing

Vinyl and PVC fences offer UV resistance and long-term color stability. These materials work well for full-privacy designs, semi-privacy fences, and decorative picket-style layouts. Because vinyl does not rot or require painting, it remains one of the easiest materials to maintain in Florida’s climate.

Wood Fencing

Wood fences offer natural appeal and flexible design options. Popular choices include traditional picket styles, ranch rail, lattice fences, and custom garden fencing. With proper installation and solid posts, wood can deliver years of performance, especially when sealed or stained for additional protection.

Wrought Iron

Wrought iron fences provide a classic, durable look with a strong architectural presence. Powder-coated finishes help protect the metal, and custom fabrication allows for decorative features, detailed profiles, and artistic patterns. These systems are often used for entry features, courtyards, and high-visibility boundaries where appearance matters.

Pool Fencing

Pool fencing helps support safety requirements while maintaining visibility and airflow. Aluminum, vinyl, and certain chain link fence designs work especially well due to their durability and resistance to moisture. Proper gates and hardware are essential for safety and compliance.

Dog Park Fencing

Dog park fences depend on strength, visibility, and reliable containment. Chain link, aluminum, and rail-style layouts support active pets and allow owners to easily monitor activity. These layouts suit both residential yards and community dog parks.

Pickleball Court Fences

Pickleball court fencing requires enclosures that can withstand frequent ball impact. Galvanized steel chain-link systems are commonly used because they balance airflow, strength, and clear sightlines. This style supports both recreational and community-level play.

Agricultural Fencing

Wide, open properties often rely on ranch rail fence designs or other rail layouts. These systems mark property lines clearly without blocking views and can incorporate steel or wire mesh for livestock control. Agricultural layouts must balance acreage coverage, material strength, and long-term reliability.
