Choosing A Front Garden Fence
Are you thinking about a fence for your front garden? Front gardens often serve as a functional space to park cars or place bins or your letterbox. However, a front garden also serves as a way to welcome others to your home. In addition, having the right fence will offer both security as well as enhancing the look of your garden.
Choosing the right fence panel type for your front garden depends on a number of factors. So, here is a guide to choosing the best one for your home.
How to Select Your Front Garden Fence & the Benefits
How you select your front garden fence depends on the area where you live as well as the type of front garden you have:
Closeboard Fencing
Closeboard fencing is very popular and If you live near a busy street and need both security and privacy then it’s a great option. This type of fencing suits most gardens and is tall enough to keep children and pets safely inside. In addition, they are made to be durable and long lasting so are a great investment.
Traditional Rustic Fencing
A less expensive alternative to closeboard fencing is that of traditional rustic fencing panels. This type of fencing offers the same security and protection as closeboard fencing but uses weathered horizontal panels instead. These panels often require more maintenance than closeboard panels but are a cheaper alternative overall.
Decorative Fencing
Decorative fencing offers less privacy than closeboard fencing, though decorative fencing does add to the kerb appeal of your front garden and can increase the value of your home. This type of fencing can give your front garden a charming, classic look. It is particularly great for homes in the countryside.
Hurdles
Hurdles are another type of fencing that works well in rural settings is hazel and willow hurdle fencing. This is a robust style of fencing that has been around for centuries and adds an attractive look to your garden while also providing protection from the wind.
Border and Deck Fencing
For a more understated type of fencing, there is the option of border and deck fencing. This open style of fencing creates a decorative look that you can use to grow plants along and add to the natural look of your garden.
Other front garden fencing options include acoustic boards for noise reduction, picket fences for a traditional look, or clean and sleek modern railings.
