Pros

Inexpensive: wooden fences cost less than vinyl or wrought iron making them a more affordable choice for your home.

Color: wood comes in various types and shades so no two wooden fences will be alike making each one unique.

Natural: wood is a natural resource and can be recycled.

Cons

High Maintenance: wooden fences can rot and have to be maintained on a yearly basis to maintain their appeal.

Termites: if these little critters get to your wooden fence, it’s over.

Warping: wood warps from being exposed to too much moisture on one side. It can be fixed depending on how bad the damages are.
