If you are thinking about having a fence installed on your Clermont home or business, there are a few things to take into consideration. There are lots of good reasons to install a fence. You may want to increase the curb appeal of your home, increase privacy and security, reduce noise, or keep kids and pets safely in the yard. Chances are, your reason for wanting a fence is multi-faceted. Knowing why you want a fence can help you to choose the fence material, height, and location that is right for your home. But the decision process isn't finished. Here are three additional things to consider before you install a fence. #1: Does your homeowners' association have any regulations about fence type, height, or appearance? It may be tedious to find out that information, but it's better than installing a fence that is outside of regulations and being forced to pay a fine or remove the fence. #2: If your neighbors are close by, what do they think about a fence? If you're on good terms, it might behoove you to run your ideas by them to see what they think. Be especially cautious if you're considering a tall, solid fence that may block their views. #3: How will climate affect your fence? In Florida, where summers are often rainy and muggy, vinyl fences require the least amount of maintenance. The environment can have a huge impact on a fence. Quality materials and installation, can make the difference in your fence looking great for decades with minimum maintenance or making costly repairs and a fence that may not look so good.

When looking for the right fence company to install your ideal fence for your project, who should you choose? You can choose a big box company, but are they really vested in the satisfaction of their customers? Or a local company that really cares about their customers and can bring unique benefits the national chain companies can’t offer. Why Choose a Local Fence Company? Flexible Options A local fence company will have your best interest and needs in mind. They will have flexible offers for our environmental climate. They will have the right equipment to anchor the post so the fence won’t fall over in a strong storm. Local fence companies are able to customize their services, to ensure you get exactly what you want. If your home is on an incline or have a hill, it won’t be a problem. They will also know all the HOA requirements. Fence Structure Some fence companies make their vinyl fences with thinner components (the thickness of the wall material), which may reduce the cost, but it also compromises the quality. In most cases, these types of fences use smaller diameter profiles, rails, posts, and pickets. Short post length is another red flag. All this can result in less support. The integrity of the vinyl is something that needs to be considered. Professional grade ingredients, stabilizers, and UV inhibitors, all contribute to the overall strength. You want to make sure your fence can stand up to our extreme weather, heat, intense thunderstorms, high winds of hurricanes, and still look amazing. If you're considering a vinyl fence for your home, you're in good company. Many residents find a vinyl fence a very wise investment that brings them pleasure for many years to come.

At Fence Central all of our wood fences are custom built onsite, ensuring that only the finest materials go into your fence. Pre-built wooden panels from your local hardware store may make for a convenient and cheap fence, but are they really the best? We think not. Custom-built wooden fences are far sturdier, more beautiful, and longer lasting than the rough-cut pine and small, rust-prone nails of hardware store fences.In addition to high-quality premium pressure-treated 2x4s, a wooden fence from Fence Central is stabilized with concrete gate posts. That means that come hurricane season, you don't have to worry about your fence becoming debris. We provide a one year workmanship warranty on every fence we install. Stockade A stockade fence is made up of tall, side-by-side pickets of wood. As the name implies, the fence's main purpose is to separate out one part of land from another, making this style ideally suited to people who want privacy. Board-on-board Another style of privacy fence is called board-on-board or board-to-board. This type of fence features tall, overlapping vertical pickets. The overlapping pickets help to ensure that even if the boards shrink with age and dry weather, people on the other side of the fence will never be able to see through the cracks. Shadowbox A shadowbox fence is very similar to a board-on board fence. So similar, in face, that some people think they're the same thing. Both types of fences feature staggered pickets. With a board-on-board fence, someone on the outside of the fence would be unable to see inside the fence, no matter what angle she's looking from. With a shadowbox fence, however, someone looking at an angle from the outside would be able to see a little on the inside of the fence. Faced directly, a shadowbox fence is private like a board-on-board. Faced from an angle, a shadowbox is semi-private. Ranch Rail Ranch rail fences are shorter and feature spaced horizontal or X'ed rails. These fences can come with 2, 3, or 4 horizontal rails, making them ideal for decoration around a more rustic or country-themed home or an actual ranch with livestock. Picket Finally, the beloved picket fence. Picket fences are typically shorter and are primarily for decorative purposes and to contain an area for small children or pets. A picket fence on the right home can add a lot of charm and visual allure (not to mention resale value). Fence Central offers to styles of wooden picket fence, French gothic picket (shown to the left) and dog ear spaced picket.
