As the famous writer, Robert Frost mentioned in Mending Wall, “Good Fence make Good Neighbors.”, and for you to make a good fence you should know what a fence is and what a good fence is for.
Fencing or putting up a fence is simply setting up sectioning to a certain area. It can either be used for keeping people, animals, intruders or what have you out or keeping them in.
There are different types of fencing. There is what you call Perimeter fencing, which will prevent trespasses to either your land or home. There is also what you call Agricultural fencing which you use to keep predators from going to your livestock. AS well as not letting your livestock leave their place. Another type is decorative fencing, which many homeowners keen on gardening often opt to for enhancement of a landscape. Decorative fencing can be used for adding pizzazz to either a property, landscape or a garden. But most often fences are put up for providing security and boundary marking. And for this type, this is what we call privacy fencing. In privacy fencing, from its name itself, it is used to provide privacy. This is where you tend to keep your nosy neighbors from peeking in to your own area.
In timber fencing, you can incorporate its different functions into one. It is often hard to just limit yourself into one of its functions and purpose. Nowadays, you may notice that home owners put up fences to demarcate their land, as well as keep trespassers away, as well as providing themselves security and privacy from prying eyes and most especially enhance the beauty or the look of their property.
So as the famous line by Robert Frost, if your fence is put up for privacy, security or just keeping intruders away, you have to consider your neighbors especially if the fence will be put up against another home that is right beside yours. You will never know that if they liked your fence against theirs, they might help also with the upkeep.
