Are you looking to change up the look of your backyard without spending an exorbitant amount of money? New fencing can make a huge difference. Adding a vinyl or decorated wooden fence will make that back yard seem like a new place.
Privacy fencing is available in a number of materials, including wood and vinyl. Each has its own unique properties: vinyl requires less maintenance through the years, while wood can stand up better to certain forces of nature.
There's nothing that says you have to use the same type of fencing around your whole house. You could put highly aesthetic white picket fence around your front yard where it's highly visible, for example, but choose more inexpensive chain link to fence the backyard for the dog.
Chain link fencing is also known as hurricane or cyclone fencing. It was invented in England in 1844, and was manufactured using a weaving loom with wire as the thread. It was not manufactured in the United States until the end of the 19th century.
Quality fences help sell houses, real estate experts say, and the cost is usually recouped in the selling price. Families with kids and dogs like the security it provides, and as a result, many actively look for a house with a fenced-in yard.
Flat-top fence boards are cut square across the top, which produces a streamlined effect. Dog-ear fence boards feature a blunt top offset with slight angles at each side, which creates a subtle, decorative top edge.
