Need a new fence for your yard? Whether you desire more privacy in your home, need to block the wind, block the outside view, or secure your pool, or keep your dogs inside your yard. Here is the need-to-know on choosing a fence base on your needs.
Privacy
If you want privacy, choose a fence that has no space between panels. A closed spaced lattice can be nearly as private as a solid material combined with the foliage of plants. Height will depend on the hill of your yard and neighbor’s yard, the location of your accommodation areas, and any relevant local construction codes.
Property Line
Having a wooden privacy fence placed can help to determine your property line, and define which area is yours versus your next-door-neighbor. This can help solve any property line discussions, as you and your neighbors can permanently settle where each other’s property ends with the installation of your new fence.
Additionally, this can help you to get a better idea of the size of your property by seeing it all enclosed and can help you to make garden decisions. Likewise, it can help prospective potential home-buyers to get an idea of the property they will be investing in, as they will not be looking upon a scenery without limits.
Feel Secure
The essential features for having a fence are the height of it, a lack of places to grasp and firm, lockable entrance. A wooden privacy fence should be at least 6 feet high, choose a panel with no parallel railings on the outside, to prevent possible trespassers for attempting to climb it.
Block a Street View
When your place is on a busy street, building a serene yard space starts with the proper fence. If you want to let some lightning in, pick a fence panel with small gaps in the boards and layer a dense bushes on both sides to provide added privacy.
Keep Your Pets In
The initial step is understanding your dogs, are they love to jump or loves to dig-around? How high can they jump? Are they likely to try to escape your yard, or are they contented just hanging out? A 3 to 4-foot fence could be sufficient for smaller dogs and those who do not jump. Larger dogs will need something taller. If your dogs prefer to dig, bury the fence at least 6 inches underground or place a landscaping on the fence row.
Consider barring provocations with a privacy fence. While any fence can do the job keeping of the barking noise of the dog in your space if your dog is excited or loves to bark, consider funding in a wooden privacy fence to prevent the visible signals (cars, cats, peoples) that get him going.
Also consider a dog kennel for them, if you have more space at your yard.
Pool Security
Even you do not have children in your home, and it is crucial to take steps to secure your pool. Friends and relatives with children could visit, and neighborhood kids could try to sneak into your pool without your knowledge. The door should be self-closing, should be self-locking with a childproof lock.
Tips
*Verify local construction codes and apply for a permit if required.
*Hire a land surveyor to determine your property line if you are unsure.
*Make sure that there are no underground service lines in the way where the fence should build.
*Don’t Do-It-Yourself.
