Selecting a Fence

Fencing serves as the most dominant visual element of your landscape. You might have seen several unattractive or broken fences surrounding homes. You probably have also seen some properties that are surrounded by a fence style. Brock Fence wants to help you avoid these fencing mistakes. Here are some tips that you should follow when choosing a fence for your yard.

Tips For Choosing Fence

• Take a look at other fences in other yards. See which ones strike your attention.
• What is the purpose of the fence?
• What type of fence would be beneficial if you have pets?
• What type of fence would be safe for your small children?
• Do you want increased privacy?
• Work out a budget for your fence. Which type of fence can you safely afford?
• ALWAYS hire a professional.

Before Installation

You have made your fence selection and are ready to have it installed. Before you begin the installation process, you should consider completing the following steps:

• Locate the exact place of the fence installation. Analyze the area closely to make sure that there are no potential problems such as trees and shrubs.
• Tell your neighbors what you are doing so that the new fence won't cause tension.
• Locate utilities such as water, gas or sprinkler irrigation lines so that nothing gets damaged or hit during the installation process.
• Check your subdivision covenants and your city or county ordinances. There could be a certain type of fencing that your subdivision may not allow and city ordinances often have regulations regarding the height of fences.
• Check with the city to see if any building permits are needed.
