We want to put a picket fence up on our property. The purpose is to simply define the property line. There are no animals or children to keep out or in. There will be gardening going on inside of it and likely growing over some of it. About 150' of length, 3' high.
The question is maintenance. The property is located in an historic area of the NH seacoast across the street from the ocean. But the house style is 1930's bungalow, most of the others being from the 16 or 17 hundreds. Obviously the most pleasing aesthetic choice would be the wooden fence painted white. But I am over maintaining something like that at this stage of my life. So we have looked at vinyl and metal. Vinyl seems to choice we are going with now, but I'm not totally crazy about it. Then I thought, it really doesn't need to be white, could be natural. But I'm not sure what the ramifications of that would be.
So, I'm looking for suggestions about this.
Here is a link to pics of the house:
Thanks for any ideas,
