What to Consider in a Front Fence
If you’re fencing your property to keep trespassers out, then you should totally go for the one that can offer the most security for your budget. However, it gets complicated when the need for aesthetics is thrown in the mix. Fortunately, we’re here to help you decide among the wide range of fence options.
Your House’s Theme
Suburbs all over Australia are often a mix of old and new house designs. While you can enclose your old-fashioned abode in a modern-looking fence design or vice-versa, it’ll hardly do you favours in the appearance department. Try looking at your house from across the street and visualise how every fencing option will look.
Neighbourhood Security
Unfortunately, not all fences are designed to keep out undesirables. This is why you should consider how often crime happens in your community when choosing a fence. Depending on your answer, you may have to find a way to make privacy fences work as your front fence. Not that these fences don’t have their own charms.
Landscape Design
If you want a good-looking fence despite the downsides in security, you can actually get away with this with the right amount of shrubbery in the front yard. As your plants grow, they’ll be able to serve the purpose of shutting prying eyes out of your home, even with a white picket fence or tubular steel fence.
Your Budget
Fences can be quite the investment, which is why the project budget matters. The cost depends on several factors like the fencing material and dimensions, particularly the height and length. The last thing you need is to blow your budget for a fence that may be overkill for the property it encloses.
Front Fence Design and Styles
Open
Open fence styles provide maximum two-way visibility while also providing decent security. This design is ideal for highlighting the house’s façade, especially if it has a garden to show for.
Open fences include:
Picket Fence
Tubular Fence
Wire Fence
Semi-Open
Striking a balance between security and visibility, semi-open fence designs limit the latter to slats. In fact, these slats are likely made to help the fence stay upright under strong winds.
Semi-open fences include:
Aluminium Fence
Privacy
As the term implies, privacy fences are designed to keep anyone from looking into a house from the outside. It’s a typical design choice for backyard fences, but it can also be used at the front.
Privacy fences include:
Brush Fence
Wood Fence
