As a landlord, you want to make your property visually appealing to attract good tenants and to increase the property value. The right fence installation will provide both of these benefits. Here’s what to know about fencing for rental properties.

Why Install a Fence for Your Rental Property?

Besides enhancing curb appeal and value, a quality fence can provide privacy, security, and is ideal for renters with children and pets. For multi-unit dwellings, a quality fence installation will keep non-tenants out of the communal areas of the building, such as a gym, pool, or tennis court.

What Are the Fencing Options?

There are many types of fencing material to choose from. The following can help you understand the difference between a few options so you can make the best investment.

Wood

Wood is a classic, reasonably priced choice. From a white picket fence to a 6-foot privacy barrier, wood is versatile in both color and design options. Wood will need more upkeep than other materials as it weathers but can be appealing to long-term tenants who may have children or pets.

Wrought Iron

This fence material is elegant, strong, and customizable for your design needs, making it perfect for historic homes or properties with a vintage look. It can last for decades with minimal maintenance, and because of the strength, may offer increased security. Fabrication and installation may take longer than other materials, and the upfront cost may be higher, but. For high-end investment properties, iron is the best long-term choice.

Aluminum

Aluminum fencing is lightweight, strong, durable, and aesthetically pleasing. It can mimic the look of wrought iron but without the expense. It is mid-range in cost but virtually maintenance-free.
