Copyright (c) 2015 Georgia Fence Supply

Perimeter fencing is something that you need to consider when buying or building a new home. When professionally installed and maintained, a perimeter fences add character to your property, besides improving the property's value. When choosing fences, you have four basic options to select from. A property owner has the option of combining two or several types of fences, depending on the functionality they are seeking and their aesthetic preferences as well.

Basic fence options:

Wood and wood panel fencing

PVC vinyl fencing

Ornamental fencing

Chain link and wire fencing

Whichever type of fence you choose, there are three primary benefits that you are sure to get from fence ownership. These are:

Privacy

With homes today being built increasingly closer than was the norm a few years back, it becomes necessary to invest in a fence, if only to give yourself that privacy you much desire. Fencing your backyard accords you a secluded space where you can engage in your favorite activities such as swimming, gardening, exercising or whatever it is that you love doing on weekends and during your free time.

Security

A fence adds security to your property, by keeping what's yours safe and within a space where it can be easily monitored, and keeping intruders at bay. If you have pets and small children, a fence means that you do not have to worry about them wandering away.

Increased property value

A home that has a privacy fence has a higher resale value because for buyers, this is one less thing to worry about. Investing in a fence is not only beneficial when you're living there, but also when you decide that it's time to sell your home and move elsewhere.

Other benefits of fences that should convince you to get a fence include:

Fences are boundary markers. Boundary identification is important if you wish to maintain cordial relations with your neighbors.

Fences are important for swimming pool safety. This is especially crucial if you have small children who might accidentally wander off to the swimming pool area.

A carefully selected ornamental fence enhances your curb appeal.

Fences also act as deterrents to burglars and vandals. The harder it is to access your property, the lower the chances that it will be burglarized or vandalized.

When choosing a fence for your property, there are certain things that you should consider. One of the things you need to think about is the type of fences that your neighbors have. You do not want to deviate too far from what is considered the preferred fence of the neighborhood, as this might hurt your property value, or give you lower return on investment than expected.

Also, consider the durability and maintenance needs of the fence. A good fence is one that is durable and one which requires minimal maintenance. Remember that you do not want to spend too much time and money taking care of your fence after you have installed it.
