How to choose the right fencing type for your area

Homeowners have so many options to choose from when they’re out shopping for the best fencing solution for their properties. Before choosing the right fencing for your property though, there are a few things you’ll need to consider to get the best value for money.

For price and style to servicing needs and durability, you need to make sure that the fence you’re getting is everything you need and want. In this blog, we’ll be taking a look at three important things you need to think about when looking for quality fencing.

  1. Choose the best fence for your yard

People install fences for privacy, visual appeal, as well as additional security from unwanted guests. If done well, a quality fence can add invaluable aesthetical value to your property, therefore increasing its financial value.

You can start by asking yourself why you need a fence, how you’d like it to look (in the context of your property), as well as what colour you’d like it to be. From there, let your answers guide your decision making.

If you are going to need privacy, wooden fences tend to work best, although vinyl fencing is also a good bet to go with. However, with certain vinyl fences, panels could also be too far apart to supply enough privacy, so take that into consideration if you decide to go with vinyl.

If privacy isn’t your number 1 concern, then aluminium fencing may be worth looking into. Aluminium fencing gives most yards a pleasing, open look.

If you’re on a budget but would also like a durable fence that matches wonderfully with your property, you could also consider  –vibracrete fencing.

 

  1. Consider fence maintenance

When it comes to the fence’s integrity, you need to ask yourself how much time you’d be willing to spend fixing your fence. Wooden fences requires the most maintenance since the painting needs to be redone every couple of years.

Aluminium or vinyl fencing requires much less upkeep, which makes those fencing options appealing to many property owners. Wooden fencing can however be repaired more easily than its alternatives.

If a storm damages a couple of boards, for example, you can easily replace them with pars that match with the rest of the fence; doing this with other materials though may seem troublesome and costly.

 

  1. Hire the right contractors

You can try fencing a yard on your own, but you’d need specialized tools and hard additional hands to help out. We recommend that you consider hiring reputable professional experts who do all your fencing for you.

Also, you should always confirm that your contractors will secure all the building permits you’ll need in your city or province. Here at Jetco SA, fencing is the name of our game. Get in touch with us today to get started!
