A privacy fence can be a great asset for your home. In this blog we’ll give you an overview of why you should choose a privacy fence. After all, they tend to be overlooked. So why should you choose a privacy fence?
Gain Increased Privacy
For true privacy, you’ll want a fence that has little to no gaps between the boards. When combined with plants and other surrounding elements of the environment, even small lattices on your fence can be concealing. Height and position depend on the shape and slope of you and your neighbor’s yard. Housing codes are also taken into consideration.
Blocking a Street View
Does your home run along a busy street? Creating a peaceful ambiance for your backyard is important. Small gaps are acceptable, but consider using frosted glass as an element of your fence. Make sure you test out the fence height to make sure it lines up properly.
Aesthetic Appeal and Noise Reduction
Another benefit of privacy fences is choice.Because of the variety of options you have, materials and styles are easy to blend and complement. They will all serve to beautify your home and landscape. Another aesthetic element is noise reduction; not only will privacy fences cut down outside noise from nearby streets, they will also reduce noise coming from the neighbors. Likewise, children can also play in the yard without bothering the neighbors either.
Privacy Fences are Easy to Maintain
Like many other types of fencing, privacy fences are extremely durable. They also require next to no maintenance. All wooden privacy fences need are some protective varnish and soap and water. Metal privacy fences can rust, however. But a wire brush or some sandpaper can easily remove rust marks.
