Choosing a Suitable Fence for Your Property

There are several reasons why one would prefer to have a new fence installed. It might be that the current fence has deteriorated with visible signs of rot and loose nails. Also, it may be that you moved into a new house whose fencing has already lost its aesthetic appeal due to old age or weathering. Whatever the reason, choosing a new fence should not be a light decision. It would be best if you considered several factors:

The Fence Cost

Different fences have different costs depending on the material used. For example, a wood fence will cost less per linear foot, while metal and vinyl barriers will cost more, respectively. Just because a material is expensive, it does not mean that it is the best for you as a property owner. Consider the general design of your house, your style, and your intended purpose. If you choose us as your fencing contractor, we will work with you to ensure that you are on budget and can still get the best look for your yard.

Consider Your Privacy

Before you have a fence installed, you will want to consider the amount of privacy you need. If you need privacy and added security, then you need to install a wooden fence that has no space between boards. Also, it is vital to consider the height depending on your compound's slope and the slope of your neighbor's yard. Our expert fence installers are prepared to help you walk through all the factors to make sure you are satisfied with the end result and your ideal level of privacy is achieved. We find some of our clients want the added privacy because it also adds an additional security factor. If your neighbors and other bystanders just passing by can't see into your yard, then they will be less enticed to break into your property.

Consider a Stepped Design

Do you have a large slope on your property requiring a retaining wall? Or if you plan to install a barrier but do not wish to have a tall privacy wall around the entire property, you can consider a stepped wall design. A qualified fence builder must install a stepped barrier design because it is sophisticated to install which requires some engineering. A stepped design makes it possible for you to have a privacy wall installed in certain sections of your landscaping design. Our team has been asked to install flower boxes into their stepped wall, along with small outdoor areas for resting or spending time with your family and guests. These stepped wall fences create a really beautiful look for the designed space.

Consider the Wind and Structural Stability

If you find that your property gets a lot of wind, it would be wise to make sure that your fence is properly installed. We have had clients come to us after a wind storm only to realize the previous fencing contractor who installed their fence, didn't do it correctly. As an example, we had a home owner in Milton express their fence was starting to sag and they could no longer reach them to get it repaired. When we came to inspect the fence, they had installed their fence posts every 16ft instead of every 8ft as any good fence installer knows is necessary for longevity and stability. This laziness of the previous builder caused the client lots of money. We were able to repurpose the wood from the old fence to build a new secure fence that would last our customer through the years. All in all, refurbishing the ill installed fence to our customers satisfaction. If your fence is leaning, call us today because if you leave it too long, the problem could get worse and your costs increase.

Additional Reasons

You also have to consider other factors such as whether you have pets or a swimming pool. If you have dogs as part of your family and for security, you need to make sure that they cannot jump over or dig under the fence. We all know how stressful it can be when our pets get lost or hurt because they got out of our yard. Our clients needs of their families, including their pets is very important to us.

If you have a swimming pool or hot tub leisure area requiring added privacy as part of your landscaping design, then we are who you need to call. We have a fencing contractor specialist on our team who works closely with out clients to create unique spaces that allow privacy without loosing all your visibility of your property and surrounding area. It can be so great to lay in the hot tub in the back yard with your family and friends without showing the whole neighborhood what you are doing.

Chain Link Fence Cost 

If you wonder how much a chain-link fence costs, you need to understand that several factors affect this figure. For example, if your local municipal council requires you to apply for a license, then the chain link fence cost will increase. Another factor is the price of labor in your area. The higher the labor cost, the higher the cost of installing the chain link fence. Other factors that affect the final price include the type of grading service needed and whether underground pipes will be affected. To know for sure how much it might cost, give us a call, and we will prepare you a free quote. 

Wrought Iron Fence

If you are looking for a visually attractive barrier, consider a wrought iron fence. It is strong, easy to maintain, and increases the curb appeal of your property. However, wrought iron barriers have several advantages even though they do not provide privacy. Some of these advantages are increased customization, especially if you are looking to add ornamental shapes and designs. You can select difference rail styles as well as unique post toppers like iron spears, finals and caps. You should also expect this barrier to last for more than 30 years.

Vinyl Fencing

If you are looking for a unique fence to stand out among your neighbors, try out vinyl fencing. According to some manufactures, this fence is five times stronger than a wooden wall and four times more flexible. Though it is a bit pricey to install, some are weather-resistant for up to ten years. Your color and design options on a vinyl fence are considered to be extremely vast.
