Are you considering upgrading your fences to improve your home’s curb appeal or simply because they look old and worn? Even on a limited budget you have several options for your fencing, so let’s take a quick look at some of these choices.
Our 5 best house fencing options
1.Timber fences
Timber fences are the most affordable of all fence types and they have long held a special place in our hearts. Just about everyone has a timber fence! You can install a standard paling fence (which is the cheapest), but you can also opt for a lapped and capped fence for more strength and privacy.
2.Picket fences
Ever a favourite with homeowners of traditional properties, a picket fence adds a certain quaintness to a home. There are different styles you can select, from the basic square tops to ornamental tops, capped tops and other decorative designs.
3.Aluminium fences
Some homeowners decide to install aluminium pool fences along the front of their property to delineate their boundary, whilst still providing a sense of openness. There are a number of different designs available and lots of different colours.
4.Woven wire fences
Generally used for their decorative effect at the front of houses, woven wire fences are becoming popular with owners of both heritage and modern properties. You can choose the type of timber used (treated pine or hardwood) and the woven wire can be powder coated to match your home’s external colour scheme.
5.Privacy screens
Privacy screens can also be used a boundary fence, as well as along the front of your property – if you prefer horizontal timbers or aluminium slats. These screens suit modern buildings and the aluminium slats can be powder coated to match your colour scheme.
