Fences add functionality, value, and a touch of personality to any home. Whether you choose to fence in your yard, pool, or add a fenced and gated entrance, the investment is the perfect combination of form and function. Before you start planning your home fencing project, check out these four tips from the expert team at AAA Fence in Anchorage, AK.

4 Things to Consider When Planning a New Fence

1. Make It Legal

Your county or even your specific neighborhood might regulate aspects of your fence such as height, distance from the street, material, etc. It’s good to check your local regulations to make sure your new fence complies with county or HOA guidelines.

2. Make It Functional

Different fences have different purposes and do not always have universal function. For example, if you are surrounding your pool for safety reasons, a tall wooden fence is usually not a practical or preferred choice. A shorter wrought iron fence would make more sense to show off the pool while keeping children and pets out. Seek out the fence that suits your project, or ask your contractor for suggestions.

3. Make It Neighborly

It’s important to build your fence entirely on your property and check with your neighbors before you begin installation. This will avoid any property line conflicts down the road and will let them know when the work will take place. You might even be surprised and find your neighbor likes the idea and wants to go in on a shared fence together.

4. Make It Yours

Once you have taken function, cost, and location of your fence into consideration, choose fencing you will enjoy for years to come. There are so many choices and there’s nothing wrong with being a little picky when it comes to your home. Pick a fence that works on a practical level, but also adds to the beauty of your home and makes it a more enjoyable place to spend time.
