Fences function in more ways than one. Freedom Fence and Deck can install them for all!
If you are reading this blog post expecting to learn about the different materials and styles of fences out there, you are only partially correct. In this post, we will show you how residential properties can use fences in creative and practical ways that go beyond the usual property fence. We are listing here the main types of residential fences you can find in terms of function and their possible applicable materials and styles.
Property Fence
A property fence is the typical kind of fence you would imagine a residential fence to be. It can border an entire property from front to back, or border only some of the sides. In central Maryland, some properties share neighboring fences.
Livestock Fence
If you own horses, cows, chickens, or alpacas, then you will need fencing that will keep your livestock from the road. Paddock and split-rail fences are the most popular for penning in livestock, as they use minimal materials for the largest square footage. Adding wire mesh panels to these fences keeps animals like chickens from traveling in and out of the property.
Pool Fence
Swimming pools require pool fences by law. You will either have a property fence or a separate pool fence to fulfill this requirement. If you only need a property fence, a privacy fence is a great solution if you live in a densely populated area. If you need a fence specifically for the swimming pool, a semi-privacy or security fence, such as a chain-link or ornamental metal fence, will allow you to supervise the pool area best.
Garden Fence
A garden fence is great for people exercising their green thumb on their lawns. If you have a vegetable patch you want to protect from deer, groundhogs, and other thieves in Maryland, a garden fence could be appropriate.
Utility Privacy Screen
Do you have trash cans or utilities outside that you need to hide? While not technically a whole fence, a fence panel does a great job of hiding unsightly utilities and keeping up your curb appeal. A wood lattice and a vinyl privacy fence panel are two excellent options.
