Choose the right type of Fence

There are several fences types, each with unique qualities worth considering.

Before deciding on the right one for you, we will help you with 6 tips to choose the right one.

1. Understand your needs

Are you looking for some privacy? Do you need to keep your dog out of a specific backyard area? Are you looking for a better look at your property? Details like high and length are also worth considering when you start choosing. Whatever its purpose, a fence can function in many ways. The first step is deciding what you’re looking for to choose one that works for you.

2. Set a budget

Fencing is a relatively low-cost investment, usually calculated per square meter. However, Fencing materials have vastly different costs. First, consider the size of your yard, choose the material of your preference and calculate how much fencing you need.

3. Consider different Materials.

Every fencing material has its pros and cons. The most popular ones lately are Colorbond and treated pine. If you would like to know more about materials, check out our previous post.

4. Check with your council

Yeah, yeah, we know, but it has to be done. There may be local regulations on height, length and material used, which may influence your choice. Be a good neighbour and follow the rules of your local council.

5. Find your property line
