  1. Things to Consider Before Building a Fence

  2. You want to create a better environment for your home's outdoor space and believe that building a fence is what you need. However, have you considered everything you need before a project like this? Do you know why you want the fence or if you can have one? We have put together a list of seven things to consider before building a fence.

  3. 1. Why do you want a fence? • Many homeowners want a privacy barrier so they can lounge in their backyard without worrying about prying eyes, but there are many other good reasons to install one.

  4. Does your family have pets, especially dogs? Pet owners often want a fence around their yard so their animals can roam freely without worry or perhaps they just want a fence because they feel it is aesthetically pleasing. Perhaps you have always dreamed of a house with a white fence! Whatever your reasons, think about what you want and why you want it before investing in a project from any fence company Fayetteville NC.

  5. 2. Find the materials that best suit your needs • Fences come in a variety of styles and materials, with wood being the most popular. While wooden fences are common, they may not be the best material for your needs. Wood requires annual maintenance and upkeep to ensure it remains in tip-top condition, so alternatives are worth considering. • Vinyl is a great option for a homeowner who wants the privacy that building a fence provides without the woodworking. This plastic material can be sprayed with a hose to maintain its flawless appearance and the panels can be molded to look like wood. • If you don't like wood or vinyl, you have other options. For example, you can choose chain links made of metal or wrought iron, bamboo, or a combination of materials.

  6. 3. Consider your climate • Many homeowners do not consider the climate they live in when choosing fence Fayetteville NC materials, but the climatic expectations of an area play an important role in both material selection and installation. For example, in colder climates, homeowners will need to consider the frost line and use concrete anchors set a minimum of 36 inches deep to support the fence posts. • For warmer and more humid climates, homeowners should stay away from most forests because they are susceptible to water damage. Vinyl is the best choice for warmer regions, as it can withstand humid climates, but can be damaged in extreme heat.  • If you live in an area that experiences frequent cold temperatures, then you can opt for more durable materials. Metal, bamboo, and specific species of wood are the strongest materials in colder climates.

  7. 4. Know your property • Before diving into fencing Fayetteville NC construction, do your homework. You need to understand precisely where your property line is and take the time to discuss your project ideas with your neighbours. • You will also need to research the building codes and regulations in your neighbourhood and city. Depending on where your home is located, you may not be allowed to build a fence, and even if you can, you may need to keep it away from specific areas, such as sewers. • Finally, check with your neighbourhood association. Many homeowners associations do not allow fences and others only allow certain materials, heights, and colors.

  8. 5. Create a budget • How much do you want to spend on your new fence? The material you choose makes a significant difference in price. Wooden fences cost between $ 17 and $ 45 per linear foot, depending on the length, height, and wood species of the fence. • It should also include costs beyond raw materials. What kind of hardware are you using? Are you putting up doors? Is it necessary to paint or seal the material? Consider all aspects of the project and budget accordingly from English fence company Fayetteville NC.

  9. 6. Create a landscaping plan • Before installing a fence, you will need to consider your existing landscape. Shrubs, shrubs, trees, and tree roots can present significant obstacles to fencers. You may need to get creative with your fence design, especially if you are against removing any plants. Most fence companies can avoid existing vegetation, but it can add to labour and material costs. • You should also consider any future landscaping plans you may have. You may want to plant near and around your fence to help it blend in with your garden. It's best to have landscaping and garden plans available before hiring a fence installer so that you can work together to make sure everything is consistent. • If you love the garden or your neighbourhood does not allow privacy fences, then you can consider a living wall. To build a living wall or fence, you can plant trees or shrubs that will create a privacy border in your garden. However, you should check with city codes and neighbourhood associations to make sure such installation is allowed.

  10. 7. Know your limits • Many homeowners assume that putting up a fence is a DIY project and can be completed over a weekend with a couple of friends, but when was the last time you put up a fence? Fences are very difficult to set up and level. • When you decide to do a DIY project, you may experience many common fence problems. Don't risk the beauty of your garden and your home. Hire a professional to help you design and install your fence.
