What's with the alumimum fences I'm seeing?
Alumimum's popularity is steadily growing. First introduced about 10 years ago, more and more people are using alumimum because it is virtually maintenance-free, comes in just about any style and offers many color choices, too.

How do I pick the right fence?
First, assess your needs. If you want something decorative, don't pick stockade wooden fencing. If you want privacy, a picket fence won't do. Also, take into account the style of your home and design of your landscaping and match the fence to the overall look. Price is important, too. A wrought iron fence may be ideal for your needs, but it's expensive. Maybe an ornamental aluminum fence instead will fit better into your budget.

What do I need to go over with my builder in New Meadows, Idaho?
First, make sure he's taking care of checking local zoning laws. That can keep you out of hot water later on if the fence doesn't meet code. Then, discuss your needs, where you want the fence, any special design features, how much you want to spend and when it will be finished.
