When investing in a new fence you want it to look nice, keep you secure and give you the privacy you desire. But the number one question we get asked here at Los Angeles Fence Builders is, “What type of fence is the most durable?” In all our purchases its important to whatever we buy is made to last. We couldn’t agree more!
But like most things, fencing and gates are not immune to breaking down over time. Being exposed to the weather and the elements can cause your fence to rot, split and rust. But we are here to show you the most durable fencing types so when you purchase a fence it will last!
Wrought iron fencing is one of the strongest and most durable material available. Most commonly used for commercial and fencing for businesses such as warehouses and industrial areas. Most business owners understand that fencing can be expensive so replacing it is not something they want to do very often. Most wrought iron fences are vertical pickets with strong 2x2 posts and 1x1 pickets. Wrought iron is also available in privacy form to keep your outdoor warehouse private and dissuade theft or any unwanted attention.
Wrought Iron is not just for commercial use. Many homes install wrought iron fencing and gates for the sole purpose of durability and its long lifetime. One of the greatest benefits of having a wrought iron fence is it won’t splinter or crack like wood. Its strength is one of its top selling points for many buyers.

Vinyl fences are extremely popular due to the fact that they are almost 100% maintenance free. Vinyl fences hold up very well to all weather types including very hot climates and very cold climates. Vinyl also does extremely well with moisture. However, not everything is rainbows and sunshine with vinyl fencing. Unlike chain link, vinyl fences are not all made equally. Based on the manufacturer, the quality may be better or worse. So, like leather, get touchy feely with the vinyl buying process. Be sure to ask questions like, “does my vinyl fence come with a warrantee?” And “for how long is the warrantee?” And “What does the warrantee include?”
Beyond the simple white vinyl fencing, vinyl has come a long way and offers many styles and textures to choose from. Depending on the manufacture, some fences can come looking and feeling like a wood fence. Vinyl fences are not the most affordable however it does rank as one of the most durable kinds of fencing.
