Learn how to match your fence to your home.
When it comes time to decide on fencing options for your home it’s easy to become overwhelmed. There are so many options that choosing the right one seems impossible. Luckily our experts at Hercules Fence DC can help you find the perfect fit for the looks and needs of your home. Before you contact your fencing professional make sure to look into what rules your homeowner’s association might have. You’ll want to know of any limits and restrictions before you begin navigating your options.
Color
The first thing you’ll want to consider is your color options. Start with eliminating any colors your HOA board doesn’t allow and work up from there. If your options are not limited you will have much more freedom, but consider that extravagant colors may need extra upkeep and might distract from your overall look. If your home and gardens lean towards the warm end of the color spectrum, you may want to opt for a light wooden fence to compliment the hues.
Purpose
Is this fence for privacy? To keep your pets and children within the boundaries of your yard? Or simply for decoration? The purpose you have for your fence will make a big difference in what type of fencing is best for you. If you want privacy a tall fence with close-set pickets will be best. For pets, a simple chain link fence will be perfect. If you’re looking to emphasize your yard and home a traditional picket fence might be just what you’re looking for. Once you know what you need out of your fence a professional can walk you through the best options.
Materials
Once you’ve sorted out your purpose and colors the last item is to decide what you want your fence to be made of. This depends on your budget, maintenance abilities, and what works best for your home. Aluminum, vinyl, wood, and chain link are four of the most common materials for fences and each has a very different look and feel. Wood and vinyl are the two that work with most items thanks to their clean and polished natures.
