Buying the right type of fence for your home requires a lot more thought than simply walking into a store and buying something that looks nice or pulling the trigger on a convenient Internet purchase. Sure, looks are important, but so is finding the right type of fence for your needs. Whether it’s for privacy, to contain your dog or to block an unattractive view, there are many different types of fences for different types of needs.
This guide will help you find the best kind of fence for your home. You’ll find the perfect mix of beauty and practicality to suit your particular need.
Keeping it private...If you are looking for a good privacy fence, you have several options. Choose a fence with no space between boards, or just a tiny bit. If you’d like to add climbing plants to pretty things up, try a lattice fence. It will add charm and color and make you feel like you’re living in a secret garden.
Contain The Dog...If you need a good fence to contain your dog, be sure to shop with your dog in mind. Make sure it’s high enough if he likes to jump, or that it’s buried at least six inches underground if he likes to dig. If you don’t want a traditional fenced-in look, consider an invisible fence system to keep your dog safely contained in your yard.
Hiding The Uglies...Whether you live in a busy, noisy city or have a view of a neighbor’s messy yard, sometimes the right fence can make a world of difference. You’re not limited to tall, board-like fences; consider a frosted-glass design or something with some color in it. It will give you something pleasant to look at every day.
