Fencing Buying Guide


Fencing

Getting Started

Fences are used to separate spaces and may be functional only, or they also can be an aesthetic enhancement to the space.

What to Consider

Purpose: Is the fence for privacy, or to separate areas of the property, or to restrict occupants or passers-by, such as pets or neighbors, to specific areas?

Lifestyle: Pools and spas will require safety fences in many areas. 

Visual Impact: Is the fence seen from neighbors or the street? Will it enhance or detract from the curb appeal of the home?

Building Codes: Municipalities may have restrictions on fence height, location on the property and materials used.
