Fences play a vital role in providing security and privacy to your
house. Apart from security and privacy, they actually provide an
enhancement for the curb and provide security to your garden as well. It
also helps in getting your kids and pets into the safe environment by
defining the boundaries of the house. A fence can actually block some of
the ugly views of your house and buffer the noise as well. There are
some of the fence which does nothing except marking the boundaries of
your house and giving some of the ornamental effect in your garden. The
old colonist starting the fencing concept with anything they could get
their hands on, whether it's cutting down the trees or the bushes or the
stone wall around their house, this is how they manage to deliver a
statement of " This is mine". There is no hard and fast rule for
selecting a fence for your house, it all depends on your requirements of
budget and taste. The most importantly you should figure it out what
you want from your fence.
The privacy is the most important
concern for many owners when they look for the fence selection. If the
key element of your house is the privacy then you should opt for
something like 6 feet tall fence, having no gaps between the boards. But
this is not something which you can truly customize on your own, there
are some local government and homeowners association rules which you
need to abide at any matter. Many of the city's jurisdiction allows
their citizens to build 6 feet taller fences but in many other countries
you can not let your fence be taller than 4 feet. But in many cases a 6
foot fence is allowed in the backyard whereas you can only put a
relatively shorter fence not more than 4 feet in front.
A
privacy fences should not be plain, the choice of the material plays an
important role in adding aesthetics to the overall look of the fence. If
you want your privacy fence to be 9 feet tall then you get its boars
ranging from 1-by-6 and 1-by-3 inch, but to enhance the contemporary
look of the fence it is more appropriate to place them in horizontal
direction. Small gaps between the boards will allow the light to pass
through it and also provides a suggestion of the view across it. The
other option for the privacy fences is vertically directed lattice with a
considerable height of around 6 feet enough for providing privacy. A
declaration can be done as well by applying vertical lattice on the top
by building the section at alternative heights which will enhance it
looks. There is a considerable trend seems to notice in home buyers
which puts a considerable premium on the fence choice, style and
material in order to avoid facing the hassles of putting a fence later
on their own.
But if you want your fence to be semi privacy then
you just have to increase the distance between the gaps for about 2 to 3
inches.
