Which type of fence should I choose for my backyard?




The main question that needs answered - What is the purpose of the fence?


● Keeping children or pets inside the perimeter

● Keeping people or pests out

● Determining boundaries

● Return of investment for selling your home

● Climate/region where you live

● Safety issues

● Privacy issues

● Maintenance and upkeep of your property

● Determining entrance and exit areas

● Aesthetics of your property

● Vanity

● Spite


After you have answered that question the secondary question would be which type is right for my backyard. Different types of fences serve different issues.
