Chain-link fencing can involve terminal posts, line posts, rails, fittings, fabric, tension systems, bracing, and gates. Wood fencing can involve posts, rails, boards, panels, fasteners, gates, and protection against deterioration. Ornamental systems may involve metal posts, panels, rails, gates, hardware, and alignment requirements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eVinyl, composite, and laminate fencing may use proprietary components and installation methods that differ from traditional wood or metal fencing.
