Depends on what's important to you. Street appeal is extremely important to us as the fence is on the street side & is soooo long. We're on a corner block.
We almost decided to install colorbond fencing. Though it would last for years, we thought it would look ugly, as it would be so loooong.
So, instead we've opted to put in a lapncap fence, spraypainted in jasper to match our garage & front doors & roof.
