Choosing the Right Fence for You and Your Children

If you have children or pets, you understand how important it is to have high-quality fencing to keep them safe while they play outside. Our fencing installation solutions will help keep you and your family safe, controlling access to your yard and prevent children or pets from wandering.

There are many options for you on the market, and we understand that this can sometimes be overwhelming for many families. Below are some of the most common options for families looking to install fencing for their yard, and the pros and cons worth considering for each. 

Aluminum Fences

Aluminum fencing is often a popular option because it is inexpensive, low maintenance, and durable. Although it might be aesthetically attractive, aluminum fencing poses a problem if you (or your neighbors) have larger pets. There is a chance that some pets can be able to sneak between the fencing and get in or out of your yard. On the other hand, children and pets will not be able to climb aluminum fencing. These fences use materials that are safe for children and pets, but they often lack privacy.

Chain Link Fences

Chain link fences are durable and practical for many families and will “get the job done”. It will effectively keep children and pets safe inside the yard and will be helpful for children to understand where property boundaries are. However, chain-link fences offer minimal privacy. They are also unlikely to provide maximum security, as older children and pets can likely climb chain-link fences without much trouble.

Benefits of a Vinyl Fence

Vinyl Fences

Vinyl fences are usually a recommended option for families with children and pets. They are mostly safe with no sharp edges and are unable to be climbed by children and pets. Depending on your preferences, these fences can be tall enough to prevent jumping over the fence and to ensure security. Regardless of the fence height, vinyl fences offer great privacy for family. Given the nature of the vinyl fences, they offer maximum privacy because your neighbors will be unable to see through the fences like they might with wooden or chain link fences. 

Wood Fences

Wooden fences tend to be cheaper, which is usually an important factor for families raising children and pets. For those seeking to match the common aesthetic of the neighborhood, odds are wooden fences are the option to go with here. Wood fences that are well installed by experts, like us, are normally effective against break-ins. On the other hand, wooden fences are flammable. These types of fences are usually picketed, which means they leave gaps within the fence. It is therefore easier for pets to sneak in and out of the fence.
