| With the right design a fence can offer advantages that go far beyond the mere definition of a property line. But choose your fence carefully. A chainlink fence, for example, may appear at first to be more economical than a wood fence but if privacy is a requirement adding privacy slats can make it more expensive than a wood fence.
- Fences can help to direct traffic flow within your yard
- This can be as simple as keeping children and/or pets safely inside the yard, but it can also mean helping to keep visitors out of the garden, or subtly steering welcome guests towards the pool area.
- Fences can offer varying degrees of privacy
- While many homeowners are looking for maximum privacy in order to create a quiet backyard oasis others (with, for example, properties next to golf courses, waterways or woodlands) desire something more "see through".
- Fences can increase the value of your home
- As your property matures a well selected fence ages gracefully with its surroundings to boost the overall appeal of your house and yard.
- Fences can be important for safety
- From swimming pool by-laws to the needs of pet owners, your fence can bring peace of mind as well as aesthetic appeal.
