When choosing a residential fence, don’t forget the saying “a good fence makes a good neighbor!” Avoid some of these common residential fencing mistakes!
There are many benefits to purchasing a new residential fence for your new Washington, DC home. From security to curb appeal, residential fencing will help make your new house a home. After narrowing down your choice of materials, there are some common mistakes you should avoid when building a residential fence.
Property Lines
When choosing a fence, it is important to know where your property begins and ends. Examine the deed to your home or contact a surveyor to make sure the lines are correct. This expense will save you from neighbors taking legal action to force you to remove the fence. Moving the fence is harder than building the fence in the correct place. Make sure you know your property limits before hiring Hercules Fence of Washington, DC to build your fence.
Materials and Maintenance
Before settling on a fencing material, it is important to have an open mind and think about what building materials will mean for your home. You have always envisioned a wooden picket fence for your home, but is a wooden fence practical for your lifestyle? Are you capable of maintaining it? Would a vinyl fence be better for you? These are questions you must consider when building your fence.
Dig Deep for Your Fence
When choosing to build your fence, make sure your yard can handle the amount of digging it will take to properly anchor your fence. Without the proper depths or materials for the anchor points, your residential fence will not be stable.
Functions and Angles
If your fence is not installed by a professional, your residential fence could have gaps and be unable to latch properly. But a professionally installed fence will give your home curb appeal as well as the security you’d desire in a fence. Another thing that could weaken a fence’s defenses is angles in your yard. Just like most of the world, your yard may not be completely level and have many dips and slopes that could affect your fence. If your yard is not measured properly, it could leave your fence uneven and unstable.
