White vinyl privacy fence with braced gate, enclosing a wooded rear garden, Dalton, Georgia
Fencing in Cobb County
A lot of the homes here sit within sight of water, which changes what a fence is for.
Plenty of the 9,362 homes in Acworth look at water or at open ground, not at another back yard. A fence built to screen a neighbor and a fence built to contain a dog without blocking a view are two completely different briefs, and Acworth produces a lot of the second.
Acworth was half built by 2000, and the fences that went up with those houses are reaching the age where the original comes down. On a lot with something worth looking at, solid wood privacy is the wrong reflex, and aluminum in an open picket does the containment job without taking the view away. On an interior lot with neighbors on three sides the reverse is true. Same town, opposite answers.
Ground within reach of still water holds moisture longer, and wood in contact with moist ground gives up at ground level first. That's not a reason to avoid wood near the lakes. It's a reason to be deliberate about what happens where the post meets the ground and how often the fence gets sealed, because near water the interval is shorter than the label suggests.
How a fence gets laid out, set and hung is on the fence company page. Style options are in the fence styles guide and installed ranges in the fence quote guide. Screened porches, decks and the rest are on the Acworth page, the county page is Cobb, and the contact page gets a real answer.

Yes. An open picket in aluminum contains a dog and a child and disappears at fifty feet. It's the standard answer on a lot that faces something worth facing.
