Considering corrugated metal fencing for your home? Hold on. Let's talk about why it might not be the best choice. 

1 - Dents Easily: Corrugated metal fencing is susceptible to denting because of its thin metal construction. Whether it’s kids playing catch with a ball or a hailstorm, this fence can be easily damaged in a matter of minutes. 

2 - Tricky to Cut and Install: Many carpenters agree that installing this fencing is not fun. Specialty tools (steel saw blades, snips) are needed to cut this metal fencing. Installers must be extra careful not to scratch the coating during cutting and installing.

3 - Sharp Edges, Safety Risk: Watch out for those edges! The sharp, thin edges of corrugated metal can be risky, especially if you have little ones running around.

4 - Shipping Container Aesthetic: Ever heard of the saying "looks like it's fenced with shipping containers"? Corrugated fencing might give off that vibe, which may not be the aesthetic you are aiming for.

5 - Easily Damaged by Kids and Pets: Kids being kids, they can easily leave their mark on corrugated fencing with toys and games. It is not the most kid-resistant option out there. A large dog can easily leave a huge dent in the fence while playing fetch.

6 - Thin and Cheap Posts: The supporting posts for corrugated fencing are often on the thin and cheap side, which might not provide the sturdiness you're looking for.

7 - Trendy, But Temporary: Corrugated fencing had its moment, but trends come and go. Investing in a style that might soon go out of fashion could leave you with regret.

8 - Prone to Rust: Made mostly from thin galvanized steel, these fences are prone to rust. That might not be the look you want for your property.

9 - Potential Devaluation: A cheap-looking fence can affect your property's value. Potential buyers might see it as a cost-cutting measure, not a quality investment.

10 - Unpleasant Reflection: In the sun, corrugated metal fencing can get warm and reflect light in a less-than-pleasant way, affecting your outdoor aesthetics.

11 - Irreparable Damage: Dents happen, and with corrugated fencing, they might just stick around. Fixing them isn't easy, leaving you with an eyesore until you replace the damaged section.

12 - Not a Cedar Replacement: Originally designed to replace cedar fencing, corrugated metal falls short on impact resistance and that warm, inviting look cedar brings.

Remember, it's all about finding the right fit for your space. While corrugated metal fencing might have its fans, these practical drawbacks are worth considering before making a decision. 

You can get a higher quality corrugated fence which is made of thicker metal. However, this thicker metal fence will be more expensive. There are much better options available which will give you a better value for your money.
