Choosing a fence design isn’t as easy as people might think. There are a number of factors to be examined and a simple online search isn’t sufficient to fully grasp all the available options. Individuals can select from materials encompassing wood, PVC, and different types of metal that are decorative, provide privacy, and secure premises.
Installing a fence is a complicated process. There’s a wealth of fencing materials, styles and colors from which to choose and regulations with which to comply. Property owners can begin by knowing why they’re installing a fence. It could be for:
- Privacy
- Safety
- Security
- Noise control
- Curb appeal
- Establish boundaries
- Conceal unappealing sights
One of the first things that anyone needs to do is ascertain the property boundaries where the fence will be set. That will require a survey to ensure the fence isn’t located on the neighbor’s property. The second task will be to ascertain if there are any special restrictions in regard to materials, height or appearance of fences in accordance with local codes and ordinances.
Obtaining the assistance and counsel of a fencing professional will accomplish multiple objectives. The expert can advise on the types of fencing available, make recommendations based on the client’s individual needs, he/she will be familiar with local regulations that apply to fencing in that locale, and can pull any permits needed.
Many locations require that a fence be set 10 ft. away from the property line. A fencing expert will be able to ensure that the fence is level, straight, and can handle any installation challenges associated with the existing landscape. They will also be knowledgeable about any soil or weather conditions that may have an impact on the fence.
Some types of fencing are almost maintenance-free, while others may require more work to maintain. Individuals can add a variety of gates, locking mechanisms, and security systems to their fencing and a professional will be able to advise clients on the best solutions for their needs.
