Back in 2017 the following fence styles and materials were presented to GHI’s Architectural Review Committee to aid in its selection of fencing types allowed.

After discussion and voting, the ARC recommended to the GHI board that only wooden or wood-appearing fence materials be allowed, with straight not curvey or ornate lines, and that no new chainlink fencing be permitted. It also recommended the continuation of GHI’s long-standing policy of removing members’ existing chainlink fences at no cost to the member, as long as the fence isn’t replaced within (I believe) three years.

The Board voted down the ARC’s recommendations.

The 3-rail split rail style fencing above from Clinton Fence in Waldorf MD is actually cheaper than chainlink – $14.70 a linear foot, including removal of existing fence. Includes chicken wire, so it’s dog-proof. It’s the least costly option in wood. For comparison, Clinton’s price for chainlink is $15.13/ft for galvanized and $17.25/ft for green or black.
