Stretching over 5531km, the Dingo Fence in Australia holds the record for the longest fence in the world. Built to keep the wild animal out of larger outback regions, it stands at just under 6ft high. But did you know how useful a fence can be on even small residential properties?

9 Excellent Reasons to Install a Privacy Fence Around Your House

While keeping out prying eyes is the main priority, there are many other benefits. Read on as we discuss why you need a house with a privacy fence.

1. Privacy

It’s an obvious one, but the main reason you would install a privacy fence. Without people looking into your property, you are free to do what you like. A fence may shield you from neighbors or simply people passing by on foot or in cars.

When your yard has areas for relaxation such as patios, pools, or hot tubs this becomes even more important. People won’t be able to see valuables in the yard, and your children and pets will be hidden from view.

2. Gives Weather Protection

Privacy fences are high and solid. A secondary benefit of this is that they offer weather protection to your home and garden. If you live in areas prone to freak winds and gales, then it is one way to protect what is inside.

You won’t wake to find your plants upturned and landscaping ruined. When you have outside furniture, it also offers some protection for this. Depending on the height, you may also get some shade from the afternoon sun with a privacy fence.

3. Improves Security

Privacy fences are excellent for keeping unwanted visitors out and wanted guests in. If you have children, then a privacy fence prevents them from wandering into the street. Peace of mind is provided for you and the family.

As you have privacy from the fence, it also prevents other people from seeing in. Not everyone will have fiendish motives, but it is the world we live in where crime is a factor of modern-day life. If you put your house and its belongings on display, then you are inviting burglars and trespassers into your home.

Locked gates can also be incorporated into your privacy fence installation. With the right security systems in place, you can have total control over who enters your property without having to leave the comfort of your living room.

4. Improves Curb Appeal

Curb appeal is the term estate agents use to describe the first view potential buyers have of your house, usually from the curb. It is important as this is the point when many people make a decision on if they want to buy the property. The better it looks, the more chance you have to sell.

A privacy fence will obscure some of the views of the home, but it will show security and privacy. Qualities such as this are highly valued by buyers.

These fences are also available in a wide range of colors and styles. By tying them into the look of the house, you can increase the curb appeal dramatically. Combine them with a well-landscaped garden and you could have the house sold before your visitors even set foot inside.

5. Enhances the Look of Your Backyard

When installing a privacy fence, you can choose between vinyl or wood fencing. Both look very different but provide a finished, fresh look to your property. When combined with a well-maintained yard, your outdoor spaces will look exceptional.

One other overlooked factor is that a privacy fence will provide a noise barrier. Not only will the yard look great, but it will also have increased quiet. If you live near a road or in a busy neighborhood this can be invaluable.

6. Increases Property Value

When you have a privacy fence, you increase the property appeal and make it much easier to sell. Living standards within the property are also improved. In combination, this can increase property value.

While it won’t be a substantial amount, it is one of the lower-cost ways to push up the value. When you are in a buyers market it can give you a competitive advantage over other properties in the area.

7. Protects Pets

If you have pets, then you know how important it is to give them some freedom. Your garden is the perfect place for this. Without a secure physical barrier around it, you may find your pets go missing or escape.

This allows your pet to get out and exercise while giving you peace of mind. Not only does your pet get to run around the garden, but it stops other pets from getting in. People out walking their animals or neighbors that also have pets are the main culprits.

8. Creates a Boundary

It is important to mark out the boundary of your property. This separates it from neighboring homes, or the sidewalk and road. A fence gives a clear indication of where each property starts and ends.

When putting up a fence, you should do some preliminary checks. Start by looking at zoning rules in the area, as you may have restrictions on where fences can go. If you are part of an HOA you should also check any rules regarding the style and placement of the fence.

9. Customization Options

Privacy fence options are vast. Not only are there different materials, styles, and colors that can also be changed. This gives a lot of scope for customizing the look you want.

Creating a House With Privacy Fence

Now you know the benefits of a house with a privacy fence, create a plan to erect your own. Search in the local area for installation experts. Approach them with a budget and see what options are available to you.
