7 Benefits of a Privacy Fence

Fences Contractor in Houston

You probably already know that installing a privacy fence is a smart way to add value and security to your home, but there other, less-obvious benefits as well. But first we’ll start by addressing security and value as the most important reasons a privacy fence should be first on your list of this year’s home remodels.

Security and Value

Did you know that having a privacy fence around your property can drastically lower your homeowner insurance rates? Depending on your insurance carrier, you can pay far less for coverage and in time your privacy fence will have paid for itself and more. A well-built, well-maintained privacy fence will also increase your home’s resale value should you ever decide to sell.

As you look around your neighborhood, what do you see? How do your neighbors’ fences look? How attractive or unattractive do their fences make their houses look? Do their fences, or lack thereof, make them an easy target for thieves? Now think about how you want your home to compare to those around you. Is your home as secure as you want it to be?

Of course a privacy fence won’t keep 100% of dangers off of your property, but it will provide a deterrent layer of protection from passers-by and will control entry to and from your yard. Often homeowners don’t think about security until it’s too late. With a privacy fence your fears of being robbed or worse will be greatly reduced.

Seclusion

Privacy fences allow you to have gatherings with friends and family in seclusion without disturbing neighbors and, sometimes more importantly, without neighbors disturbing you. Keeping up good neighbor relations is important, and with a privacy fence it’s that much easier.

If your kids go outside and play, a privacy fence keeps them in your yard and keeps unwanted strangers away. It also provides a boundary for your outdoor living spaces so you can enjoy them without the neighborhood looking in.

If you have a pool or are planning for a pool in your yard, a privacy fence is a must. It will deter pool crashers from entering your yard while you’re away and keep your family shielded from potential onlookers while you’re outside.

Animal Boundary

Outdoor pets need a confined space to roam and play. A privacy fence serves both to keep them on your property and keep them from becoming a nuisance to neighbors and vice versa. A privacy fence also keeps stray animals from wandering into your yard and doing damage to your property or injuring loved ones.

Protection from Weather

When severe weather strikes in Kansas, high winds can damage your backyard and everything contained in it. A well-built privacy fence will protect your garden, outdoor living spaces and home by providing a protective barrier from damaging winds.

Property Delineation

A privacy fence provides a boundary demarcation between yours and your neighbors’ property. As mentioned before, keeping up neighbor relations is a valuable step in building a strong neighborhood. When a fence is installed on property lines, it serves as a clear indication where each neighbor is permitted to mow, plant and build.

Before having a privacy fence installed, familiarize yourself with your local permit requirements, regulations of fence height, zoning and HOA rules. Consult your neighbors before adding a fence so that everyone is on the same page and no expensive surprises surface after the fence is already up.

Maneuverability

Remember before installing a privacy fence that you may need to move a large item into the yard at some point. That’s why it’s important to make a portion of the fence removable in the event you need to back a vehicle into the yard or any other scenario where a gate might not be wide enough. Having this capability gives you the benefit of a privacy fence with the option of opening it up for uncommon circumstances.
