Selecting a Fence

 Depending on what you want the fence to accomplish for you, you can choose the best fence. Do you want privacy? Do you need security? Do you want to decorate? Do you need a fence to contain dogs or kids? Or do you just need a line to mark the edge of your property?

Rather than making a clear, uncomplicated choice, you'll frequently find that you require a combination of all the aforementioned possibilities. In light of this, we can assess which common fences could be the most suitable for you.

If privacy is a priority in your choice, you should look for something that is reasonably tall, gap-free, robust, and reasonably priced. Often, timber fences will take care of all these details for you. On the basis of least expensive price, simple installation, and available height alternatives, you will first be considering a standard fence panel fence. Fence panel fences are simple to construct and maintain over time because they are available in conventional heights ranging from 3 feet to 6 feet.

If security is your goal, a fence with height and structural strength will be important, but a robust fascia may not be as important. The best security can be attained with either a steel palisade fence that can be purchased up to 3 meters high or a rigid mesh Fence Contractor Pelham system set on steel pillars in heights ranging from 6 feet to 8 feet.

 

The issue with steel fences is that while they work well in commercial or industrial settings, they can feel oppressive in household settings. A close board fence or, if you are less concerned with privacy, a chain link fence, which can be built to greater heights and is more difficult to scale than a timber fence, are the strongest, tallest timber fences you can get to conceal your property, prevent intruders from scaling the fence, and provide a solid boundary. A close board fence will cost more than a fence panel fence, but it will provide a higher level of security than a fence panel since it is supported by larger section posts and is available in more height options.

If aesthetics are your first priority, your options range from the least expensive, such as metal railings, to the most expensive, such as wooden trellis fencing, picket fencing, and ornate fence panels. The key deciding elements will be cost and aesthetics, though generally speaking, the more you pay, the more durable the fence will be. Declarative fences typically lack protection and privacy, but if used as interior dividers on your property, they can make lovely additions to the garden. Metal railing fences are frequently the greatest but most expensive option for perimeter fences since they may provide some security without sacrificing privacy.

If you want to contain children or animals, you have a variety of options, from the previously mentioned security fences to waist-high timber rail fences covered in an animal mesh. Your specific situation and the thing you're seeking to confine will determine how much and what kind of containment you need. A different kind of fence is needed to enclose a horse than one that is used to contain kids.

Simply mounting a wire fence on small, natural posts spaced 3 meters apart and stringing a line of wire between them will be the cheapest option if all you need is a property line delineation. For larger animals or more durable fencing, farmers will frequently upgrade a demarcation line of this kind with a timber post and rail system that is roughly chest high and has 3, 4, or 5 rails, depending on their livestock (when keeping sheep or swine, this type of fence will also have the stock mesh clad to the lower section of the post and rail for added containment). Your specific situation will determine the kind and type of fence you need.
