What fence holds up best in Oregon's rain?
Vinyl and powder-coated aluminum don't rot or rust, so they shrug off Willamette Valley rain with almost no maintenance. Cedar is naturally rot-resistant, and on 100 ft+ jobs Forbes Fence sets every fence on metal lifetime posts, which last far longer than wood posts in wet ground.
What is the best fence for privacy?
For full privacy, most homeowners choose solid vinyl privacy panels or a board-on-board cedar or wood fence. Vinyl needs almost no upkeep; board-on-board wood overlaps its boards so there are no gaps.
How much does a new fence cost in Salem, Oregon?
New fence installs from Forbes Fence start at $40 per linear foot for 4-foot chain link, $45 per foot for vinyl and $55 per foot for aluminum. Cedar and wood fences are quoted to the project. Your final price depends on material, height, total length, gates and the site itself, and every customer gets a free, written quote before work starts.

Yes. Forbes Fence installs commercial chain link, aluminum and vinyl fencing for storage yards, warehouses, schools, multi-unit housing and public sites, including barbed wire, privacy screens and heavy-duty gates.
