Benefits of Installing a Fence

We're looking at the benefits of installing garden fencing. We’re going to cover three main areas, those being, how it adds value to your property and how, privacy and how fencing can help, and any other benefits. We hope you find it of use and that it helps you to make an informed decision as to whether you want to invest in more fencing, or replace existing fencing that’s starting to look a little tired.

Added Value

here we look at how fencing can increase your property’s value. This might seem surprising, after all fencing isn’t the most exciting aspect of a property. You probably take little notice of it, it’s just there and we take it for granted. However, just imagine if you’re someone looking to buy and all they see is dilapidated fencing around your property or no fencing at all. A fence will add not only that finishing touch, but make your house a home, a fence is an attractive option as it lays down the foundation of your home and looks really good. If you have a well-kept garden within, then you’ve got that beautiful property spot on.

Privacy

If you live in a densely populated area, in other words where your neighbours are more or less on top of you, you may find that privacy is slim. When you go out into the garden you may find there’s always someone there who knows your every move. On the other hand, it may not be the neighbours which are a problem but prying eyes from passing foot traffic, people who can’t resist looking in and having a good look at you. If that’s the case then decent, quality fencing can eradicate this significantly.

Of course, you’ll have to consider the house deeds and check to see exactly what it is you can put up without contravening any property rules. A six-foot fence surrounding your property in a private estate where everyone else’s are three-foot may look odd and be in contravention of local building regulations, as will be the location of your fence and whether it encroaches someone else’s property.

Fences With Benefits

Finally, those other little important benefits. These are things that may seem trivial but can give those final details that add a finishing touch to your property. A few plants can make all the difference and give your garden fence a real eye-catching look. Make sure your fence is in good condition though, because if you have plants which look great but your fence looks old and tired, then it’s going to negate the impact of the flowers. Put some thought then into the landscaping of your garden, where your plants and flowers are arranged beautifully, and then supported by beautiful fencing.

Yes, fencing can add value to your home, but only if you make sure your fencing is in good condition, supports your property in such a way that it enhances its appearance and is supported by flowering plants, or climbing plants even, that give the overall look greater appeal. This is good if you’re thinking of selling. It can also give you much need privacy. Yes, there’s an upfront expense, but it will pay back over time.
