Choosing a fencing material is often a matter of preference. But there are pros and cons on both sides that must be considered. Wood remains a classic choice for good reason. It is versatile in terms of size and shape and features a low upfront cost. It can be easier to repair (in that it's easy to repair or replace part of a fence than a large section of it). And there are a variety of wood styles and stains available to complement a property.

Of course, wood also has its drawbacks, particularly in the wet Vancouver climate. Wood requires regular maintenance. The money saved upfront will likely be invested down the road in the form of regular painting, repair, and other forms of upkeep. In addition, it's quite likely that even with regular care the fence will eventually need to be replaced due to rot and ground erosion.

Metal fencing, on the other hand, requires far less maintenance, since it is coated to prevent corrosion and rust. These fences also hold up better in extreme weather, such as high winds, hail, or, of course, the long rainy seasons of the Lower Mainland.

As a result, metal fences tend to last far longer than wood and will not need the same level of care and maintenance as their wooden counterparts. The main drawbacks of metal fencing are a higher upfront cost and higher repair costs if they are damaged by an incident, such as a falling tree or branch. Some also feel there are fewer design choices, although options like an aluminium picket are a sleek and elegant choice for around the home.
