Does your fence need to maintain visibility or privacy?
If you visit a fence and deck showroom or look at types of fences online, you will discover just how many options there are. One of the two categories of fences out there are privacy and non-privacy. There is the privacy fence, and there are also split-rail, paddock, and picket fences. If you aren’t clear on whether a non-privacy vs. a privacy fence is best for you, read on to gain that clarity! Mid-Atlantic Deck & Fence is happy to help you in Gambrills, Maryland.
Does Your Home Need Visibility or Privacy?
Reasons to Have Visibility for Your Yard
One reason to have visibility into your yard even with a fence is for ventilation. Visibility equals ventilation. If your yard could benefit from airflow, then you will want a non-privacy fence.
Another reason to maintain visibility is for security purposes. For example, do you need to enclose a swimming pool within your property? You will want to be able to see into the pool area at all times, so an aluminum fence would work great. If you suspect people might hide on the other side of your fence outside your property, they will have a harder time if you can see right through it.
A third reason is to maintain the views. You might have a scenic view that you want to preserve, or perhaps your pets like to look out into the street at passersby.
Reasons to Have a Privacy Fence
A privacy fence makes for a great wind breaker. If the wind tends to blow in one direction into your backyard and you want some protection against it, a privacy fence can be that barrier. It can also help soundproof your yard.
Even though non-privacy fences aid in security, privacy fences can, too. They secure the privacy of your home and can be impossible to climb. A privacy fence is a solid wall between you and the outside world.
Privacy fences can also shield you from unsightly views. You likely don’t want to look out onto busy traffic, a dumpster, or anything of that nature. They help you create your own haven.
