Although fences are often installed in front yards to keep properties protected from passersby, the backyard also serves as an easy access point for intruders. That’s why the team at Morris Fence in Statesboro, GA, believes backyard fence installation is a sound investment. Their knowledge comes from experience installing high-quality automatic gates and fencing materials outside homes and businesses throughout the area.

Below, the Morris Fence staff shares three ways fences boost property security:

• Confines Kids & Pets to Safe Areas: Devoting time to outdoor play keeps pets happy and healthy. If you have small kids, running around outdoors lets them burn off extra energy, too. The space between most fence rails is narrow. Kids can still see the surroundings and adults can take comfort in knowing the slots are too narrow for little ones and pets to get out of the yard.  
• Deters Intruders: With street lamps installed in most residential areas, front yards remain highly visible even at night. Burglars like to operate under the cloak of darkness, which is they tend to access properties through dark backyards, hiding behind garages, patio furniture, and shrubs to prevent detection. If the entire area is blocked off, they’ll skip your property and look for an easier mark. 
• Prevents Accidents: If you have a backyard pool or hot tub and live in close proximity to neighbors, installing a fence will keep everyone in the area safe. Blocking the backyard means no one will have access without your knowledge, reducing the risk of accidents.
