Now that more of us are spending more time at home, privacy fences have become very popular.  Creating a backyard that is a true extension of your home. Privacy fences, whether made from wood or vinyl, add security from outside forces and safety for children and pets. When a house goes onto the market, a privacy fence is also often attractive to potential buyers. While they have many benefits, privacy fences are an investment, both in terms of time and money. But how much will a new fence cost? Consider the material Typically privacy fences are six feet tall. Both wood and vinyl privacy fences come in a variety of styles, including stockade, board-on-board, and shadowbox. Wood privacy fences are best if you want something customizable with stain or paint. Vinyl privacy fences are best for those who prefer a fence that needs little or no maintenance. Vinyl fences have a higher upfront cost than wooden fences, but they also have a longer life. Length of the fence in linear feet Walk your property line with a tape measure to get a sense for how many feet your fence will be. Along with the material, the length of your fence will determine the cost of your fence. If the fence is on a slope or must go around trees, it's good to note that as well and include that information when you request a quote. If you really want to save money you may consider building your own fence. Fair warning, though, that what seems like a simple DIY project can turn into big headaches when you consider HOA, utility lines, property lines, installing gates, and having to work around ground slopes and obstacles. If done inexpertly, a fence may have to be redone within a short period of time, wasting time and money. If you're ready to start your free quote, contact Fence Central.
