There’s no better feeling than knowing your child is safe. With the warm weather, they’ll be spending more time outside, and you want to be confident they won’t face any threats. For true peace of mind, consider adding a fence to your property. Aside from potentially boosting value and aesthetics, it will ensure your children have a safe place to play.

Why Every Home With Children Needs a Fence

1. Protect From Strangers

While it’s unlikely a stranger will attempt to abduct your child from your side yard, it’s still a possibility. To prevent this, consider a fence. You can add a solid vinyl or wood option for total privacy and protection, or something with spaced slats so that you can still see the street and neighbor’s yard. A fence is often enough to deter predators, and being able to see your children through wood or vinyl slats will ensure you have plenty of time to get to them in a dangerous situation.

2. Prevent Wandering

fenceChildren are naturally curious, and it doesn’t take much to draw them from your yard. Small children are exposed to several threats when they wander a neighborhood, such as being struck by a car, strangers, or generally not being able to find their way home. A fence adds the protective barrier so you can let your children roam freely outdoors without leaving the property. Remember that it’s no substitute for adult monitoring, and someone should always have an eye on children when they’re outside.

3. Keep Wildlife Out

Wild animals can be dangerous for children. Rabid dogs, larger rodents, bears, and other predators can cause serious and even fatal injury. A privacy fence is all you need to keep them out. If you live in a remote area with active wildlife, it’s wise to build a tall, solid-paneled fence so that smaller animals can’t squeeze through openings.
