Know your real reason for installing a fence

You really need to know why you are putting up a fence. If it’s just to keep the family dog in the yard, a basic chain-link may be sufficient, although not too attractive. This is a simple, functional solution to your neighbors giving you the stink eye as they’re pooper scooping their yard. If it’s to add privacy in neighborhoods where you live right up against each other, you’ll obviously want something tall and solid. But you also want it to be pleasing to the eye. Your neighbors may not be able to peak in through your windows, but now you have to look at the fence all the time. You don’t want it to be an eyesore. And neither does your neighbor.

Most fences are multi-purpose; a good mix of functionality and aesthetics. And the choices are almost never-ending. Wood is classic and beautiful but comes with its set of maintenance problems. A vinyl fence will eliminate the maintenance, but it will never look like real wood. Even the vinyl fences that are made to look like real wood.

Mixing and matching materials is also a great way to cut back on installation costs and future maintenance work. Splurge on the classic wooden fence in the front of the house where everyone will see it, and then go for the chain link in the back where it’s not as noticeable. Some strategically placed garden shrubs, bushes, plants and trees can also help improve the look of a chain link fence. You’ll still have to put some time into maintaining the wooded part of the fence, but it’s only in the front, and not the entire perimeter of your property.

If you want a fence that’s going to be 4ft or less, no permits are required, but if you’re looking for privacy or security fencing around your home and want to exceed 4ft, you’ll need to obtain a permit.
