Lifespan by material
Install quality matters as much as material — a well-set fence outlasts a cheaply installed one of the same type.
- Aluminum — decades; lifetime finish warranty
- Vinyl — decades; lifetime manufacturer warranty
- Composite — decades, low maintenance
- Wood — shorter; depends on species and sealing
- Chain link — long, especially vinyl-coated
