Homeowners today have more fence options to choose from than ever before, and it can be hard to know just the right type to go with. There are so many things to consider before installing a fence. Make sure the fence you choose meets the needs of your family and your home: Is your goal to keep kids and pets contained and safe? To increase privacy? To boost property value and add curb appeal?
1. Rules & Restrictions
When first considering having a new fence installed, it’s a good idea to investigate what your township ordinances are regarding fencing, or even neighborhood rules if you are in a community. If you live in a historic district, you may be limited to certain materials or styles of fencing in order to maintain the classic look of your area. If you find you need help with understanding any of the rules or restrictions for your area, Murphy Fence Company is happy to help.
2. Cost-vs-Longevity
Whether you find yourself choosing between a vinyl, wood or aluminum fence, carefully consider what is most important to you and the goal you wish to reach with your new fence. If cost is your biggest factor, there are fairly inexpensive wood and chain-link fences available. If longevity is your main concern, cedar will cost a bit more but last longer, and vinyl and aluminum (while more expensive) will last a lifetime and require the least upkeep.
