On the fence about a fence? This May, consider getting your home summer-ready by putting up a fence to safely enjoy privacy as your family spends time outside! With the weather warming up, it means more time spent outside, having barbeques, and enjoying time in your backyard. Especially for families with little ones, you want the security of knowing your children won’t go outside the safe confines of your home. Besides privacy, there are other pros of having fencing placed at your residence.

Other advantages of fences include:

Containment. As mentioned previously, a fence can help provide a safe play environment for children and pets. It can also prevent entry from unwanted strangers or animals from entering your property.

Security. A good fence can protect your family. If you have a swimming pool or playground equipment, a fence can prevent trespassers from putting themselves in danger.

Noise reduction. Did you know that an 8 foot solid fence (such as wood) can lower 6-10 decibels of noise from the street? For those living near a busy street, this can be very useful and appealing to your family’s home.

Appeal. An attractive, well-constructed fence can add to your home’s general appeal and increase your home’s value later on.
