You may be wondering if a fence is right for you. Depending on your neighborhood, there is a lot of upside to having a fence installed. Whether you want privacy or a place for your pets to roam around, fencing can help you with that. Here is a list of the 5 reasons you need a fence for your home.
-
Safety & Security
A fence is an extra barrier between your home and the outside world. One of the best ways to make your home safer is by adding a fence. You can create entrances and exits to your home with a fence. Don’t hesitate to install cameras as well. This will help you keep a watchful eye on anyone near your home, but it’s not a must-have. The fence will do most of the work for you. Wood or vinyl privacy fence can keep criminals from scoping out your house. You can also protect your family when they are playing in the yard. You will be able to prevent people, wildlife, and accidents happening to your home when you put up a fence. Try planting shrubs beside your fence so if a criminal jumps over they will have a hard time getting inside your home.

Privacy
If you have ever lived in a suburb, you have probably dealt with a nosey neighbor. A fence solves that problem. Not only do you get to keep criminals away, but your neighbors won’t be able to see into your home. You won’t have to worry about people driving by and seeing your family. Also, it gives you peace of mind that people won’t have access to your life without your consent. Keep your backyard from prying eyes when you install a fence. Consider choosing wood or vinyl. Vinyl is more expensive. However, it requires less maintenance.

Marking your property
A fence is a great way to stake out your property if you live in a cul-de-sac. Aside from prying neighbor eyes, you can set boundaries on your property line. In addition, you will know exactly the amount of space you have to work with on your property. You can plan your activities according to the amount of space you have. If you live in a rural area, this can be paramount if you are the caretaker of any animals. You don’t want some of your animals to graze on another’s land and vice versa. Before you take this step, talk to your neighbor. Make sure you have property lines exactly right. That way you won’t be on the hook for building on someone else’s property.

Decorations
Did you know that your fence could add value to your home? It’s one of the pros of having a decorative fence. Having something like a decorative cedar wood fence can bring the home together in a unique way. Use it as a design feature that adds to the style and feel of your home. Try using a material such as iron which can always make a house feel more expensive than it actually is. Even if you don’t plan on selling your home you can have a barrier that is both functional and decorative. Find a material that brings out the best in your home and works well with your garden or shrubs.

Keep your pets in your yard
Erecting a fence can keep your furry loved ones close to home. You won’t have to walk your dogs every time they need exercise, nor do you have to worry about them going into someone’s yard to relieve themselves. If you have bigger animals other than dogs this is extremely important. You don’t want any large animals breaking into a neighbor’s yard or hurting someone.
