Choose the Right Fence for Spring

Can you feel it? Spring is only a month away, which means it’s time to get your backyard ready for some outdoor fun! One key component of your backyard getaway is a fence, whether it’s for safety, privacy or aesthetics. But don’t just go for any old fence – ask yourself these four questions to get just the right fence for you.
1. Why do I need a fence?
Let the answer to this question guide your decision in choosing the best type of fence for your yard. If your main concern is privacy, wood and vinyl fencing both come in styles that offer complete privacy. If you’re looking to add some beauty to your yard, aluminum fencing can add a classy and elegant look without closing off the space. For the safety of your children and pets, no particular fence works best, but a taller fence may be the way to go.
2. How much time do I want to spend maintaining my fence?
Wood fencing requires the most maintenance if you choose to keep it painted or stained, and will eventually need to be replaced, while vinyl and aluminum fencing require very little upkeep and will last for a lifetime. Wood fencing can be much easier to repair, with the ability to replace individual boards and easily make them blend with the rest of the fence.
3. Do I have to follow any HOA guidelines?
If a homeowners’ association governs your property, you’ll have to make sure the material and height of the fence you want meet the organization’s standards.
