When you’re about to have your first child, you need to “baby proof” your home. This process includes tasks like covering exposed electrical outlets, blocking stairways with gates, and installing safety latches on the cabinet doors and drawers. However, these are all related to your home’s interiors; don't forget about the outside. If you own your home, one of the best things you can do to baby-proof it is to have fencing installed along the perimeter, assuming it isn’t already present. To understand why this is so important, consider the following.

Why New Parents Should Invest in Fencing

1. Security

fencingFencing protects a home and its inhabitants. Although it’s unpleasant to think about and statistically unlikely in many places, unfortunately, child abduction is a possibility. When used in conjunction with constant adult supervision, a solid privacy fence with locking gates helps keep your child safe from strangers when they’re playing outdoors. It will also prevent any prying eyes from looking into your yard and at your children.

2. Wildlife

A fence can also keep your children safe from any dangerous wildlife like raccoons or coyotes. Although it’s true that some desperate and persistent pests will find ways to get onto your property, a fence will create an obstacle to minimize those chances. Even if you’re not in an area where larger wildlife is common, fencing also guards against any stray or lost cats and dogs.

3. Wandering

While it may not be a problem when they’re still babies, once they start walking, you’ll need to be even more vigilant about your child's curiosity. They may find themselves accidentally walking onto the neighbor’s property or crossing the street. Although it’s a year or so into the future, the time will fly by. The sooner you have fencing installed, the better.
