There are four main reasons to have a new fence installed: Safety for your children, safety for your pets, privacy, and to boost the value of your home. Safety is the primary reason; think about it. If you have children, they have to be able to play in a safe place where they can’t be harmed from traffic accidents or people with ill-intent. Why take a chance. You diminish risk by having a yard that safeguards their safety and privacy, so consider a wood fence that isn’t easy to see through or look over.

If you have animals, wood fencing is also a good selection so they can run and jump without fear of outsiders feeding them through chained link, scaring any pedestrians, or getting hit by a car. With a wood fence, people can’t look in to the back of your house; can’t see if lights or on or doors are open, or if you aren’t at home. Picket fences, chain-link don’t offer that kind of privacy.

New fencing adds value. It adds instant curb appeal and potential buyers like knowing that fencing isn’t something they’d have to buy. There are many types of fencing and your local fence installation professional can help you select wisely and find a product that is within your budget. The main choices are wood, chain link, wrought iron, aluminum; vinyl. There are several issues to consider when choosing your fencing as well: the life of the fence, the amount of maintenance required, the cost, the level of security and level of privacy, and whether it is appropriate for your style of house.

Vinyl and aluminum last a lifetime, but are more expensive than chain link fencing, but provides full privacy. Wrought iron fencing also lasts a lifetime. Wood fencing will last 20 years and will only require an annual sealant application. The levels of security are considered good, depending on your board spacing. Chain link fencing will last 30 years. It is the most economical option, but provides the least amount of privacy.

Now that you’ve determined the type of fencing you want, it’s time to crunch the numbers and call a local fencing installer.
