Why fence off your land?

Whether you live in the suburbs, city or country, you have several reasons to consider putting a fence around your property. Here are a few.

• To create privacy.

If you live near a busy street or want to block your neighbor’s view of your backyard, a fence with solid panels will help keep prying eyes at bay.

• To enhance safety.

A suitable fence that’s impossible to climb limits access to your pool, keeping adventurous neighborhood children out of harm’s way.

• To enclose an animal play area.

A fence built high enough to match your pets’ jumping ability will give your little critters space to stretch their legs, without the risk of escaping.

• To provide a wind break.

Minimize the impacts of heavy winds by building a well-anchored fence with closely spaced posts and sufficient gaps to allow some air movement.

• To minimize nuisances.

A high, thick fence can reduce noise pollution, making your outdoor space more peaceful.

Do you want to install a fence on your property? Be sure to research local regulations, get the necessary permits and inform your neighbors of your plans.
