The addition of a fence to your yard can do so much more than just mark your property line from your neighbors. A fence can enhance your home’s exterior and landscaping design, improve your family’s safety and security, and provide more privacy so you can enjoy the outdoors. Out of the many different fencing types, three have set themselves apart from others and are known as the most commonly recognized around residences.
Wooden Fences
There are few things more American than white, wooden picket fence. It’s no wonder that wood fences are the most popular fence in our nation. If privacy is not the most important reason for your fence, then consider a wooden fence.
Wooden fences are an effortless way to add warmth and charm to your home and yard. They stand the test of time, and can be both classy and unique. Whether you want to go to a more vibrant and colorful design aesthetic, or settle for more neutral tones, wooden fences can accommodate your design dreams and your budget.
With locking gates, wooden fences add extra safety when young children or pets are playing in the yard.
Ornamental Fences
When security is your primary concern, ornamental fences can do that job. These sturdy fences, the strongest on the market, are made from aluminum or steel. But you don’t have to give up style for security. These fences can be designed with decorative gates or fittings, to add an upscale finish to your property.
Ornamental fences add security without diminishing your views. With open spaces between rails, passers by can enjoy your beautiful yard and home, and you can achieve unobstructed street views from your patio or living room without compromising the safety and security of your property.
Vinyl Fences
When you need to keep out street and traffic noise, a vinyl fence is a great option. You can design your fence to
the height you like, closing off views from the street into your property. When maintaining sight lines isn’t important, a solid vinyl fence can provide privacy and security, too.
Your family and friends will enjoy the privacy of your backyard without intruding eyes while entertaining guests. Play fetch with your dog without the worry that he will chase a ball into the traffic or over into the neighbor’s flower garden or when your budding basketball players start to practice out in the driveway.
Vinyl fences give you the added luxury of being virtually maintenance free, as well.
Whether you chose wooden, ornamental or vinyl fencing, your fence can add to your home’s curb appeal, safety and security, and enjoyment. Look into the benefits of each and choose the right one for your needs.
