The dominant install is a 6-foot cedar privacy panel along the back perimeter, often with a side-yard gate at one or both ends. Vinyl is a strong second, especially for homeowners replacing a wood fence and trading down on maintenance. Ornamental aluminum in front-yard accent or driveway gate work is more common in Scotch Plains than in some smaller towns.
