Marking
Boundaries – Establishing Property
Lines
A fence design used to mark boundaries or establish
property lines can be as simple as the most basic
of fence designs. It is usually a low fence to
allow for spaces between the boards so that the
accompanying landscape can be seen.
Safety & Security
Designed to enclose a space to make unwanted entering
or exiting the property difficult, a safety
fence is usually tall to prevent climbing
over and less or no space between boards
to prevent squeezing thru. This design should
provide containment within the property.
Privacy & Noise
Reduction
To accomplish complete privacy, this fence should
be designed with no spaces between boards to effectively
block all visuals from all angles, essentially
screening all activities within the enclosure from
the outside. A design with no spaces between boards
will accommodate both the desire for privacy and
noise reduction.
Wind
Protection
A design that allows for a small amount of wind to pass through will diffuse
the wind better than a solid fence. Choose a design that has small openings towards
the top such as a lattice or slats.
Decorative
Landscaping
Only imagination will limit the design of a decorative
fence. With no other purpose but to add beauty
and interest to your landscape, this design should
fit effortlessly into the surrounding environment.
