Why You Should Invest In A Wood Fence

Finding the perfect wood fence is easier than you think.

Part of the American dream has always been to protect your home and your property; this is part of the reason the picket fence became such a popular fixture in the American yard. Over the years, as we’ve developed sturdier materials with lower rates of decay, the wood fence has fallen a bit by the wayside. But nothing speaks to a wholesome, secure lifestyle than the strength of a wood fence, and many different styles and types of wood are now available to suit every need you can imagine. Those needs can range from privacy to aestheticism, to run-away-toddler prevention, even to nostalgia.

Shop Around At Wooden Fence Options

We’re a far cry from the days of one traditional fences and cookie-cutter backyards. Like everything else in the modern world, you can customize your fence to your own tastes and requirements! If the purpose of your fence is to fend off prying eyes, you’ll want something more like a board-on-board fence, a double sided picket fence with no visibility from the outside, or a solid board fence, where boards are layered perpendicular to one another to avoid outward snooping. If privacy isn’t as important to you, and you don’t mind neighbors being party to your lounge time or exercise time, go classic with the picket fence or split rail fence, and experiment with different latticing and scalloping! You never know who might love the fence as much as you do should you ever choose to sell your home.

Keep Your Loved Ones Safe For Longer

Even in the suburbs, life isn’t always peachy and safe. Having a reliable fence can ease the stress that comes with having young children and animals, both by keeping them in and keeping unwanted visitors out. Since no one can see how you’re living your life, they may not feel obligated to join in unexpectedly, be it, neighbors or predators. Wood fences can last 15 years without the maintenance and care a good homeowner applies to it; with that added attention, you can extend its life by 20 years! Choosing a wood like redwood or cedar can add value to your fence by preventing decay and resisting insects, and so can applying an initial seal and cleaning your wood fence every 2-3 years.
