Beneficial home improvement projects require upgrading part of the property to make life easier and less stressful for current and future owners. Consider making your property more safe by installing a fence. Here are four advantages of these barriers.

What Are the Benefits of Installing a Fence?

1. Improves Pool Safety

Pools provide the perfect environment to cool down and relax. Installing a fence makes sure your family members are only allowed to enter the pool area when it’s supervised.

Fences create a barrier that reduces the risk of trespassers taking advantage of the water. There are state regulations that require pool owners to have fencing around the area. These borders will also lower the chances of larger wildlife, like deer or coyotes, visiting and accidentally falling in or contaminating the pool.

2. Safeguards Landscaping

Landscaping is a common home improvement project that adds curb appeal and increases property value. Neighborhood deer, rabbits, and other critters may eat the plants, destroying your hard work.

Consider installing fencing that is placed several feet into the ground to stop animals from digging to get into the yard. Choose wood or composite slats that are close together, so smaller mammals can’t squeeze through. You can also install a fence around the perimeter of a garden to deter other animals and keep your plants and vegetation growing and healthy.

3. Protects Pets

Some dogs have high prey drives and will leave the yard if they smell a squirrel or another neighborhood dog. Others are scared of thunder, fireworks, or other loud noises and will run away because they’re afraid.

Use your home improvement budget to protect your pets and install a fence. Chain link and wrought iron will allow dogs to look outside, while wood or vinyl can limit their view to prevent anxiety as people pass. Have the contractors install the fence a few feet below the ground if your pup is a digger.

4. Creates Privacy

It can be challenging to relax in your yard when people can see you. Privacy fences create a decorative barrier between your property and the outside world. Consider stone, wood, or vinyl models to create a pleasing aesthetic with your home’s exterior. These installations will completely block your view of the outside world, creating a private oasis in your own backyard.
