Keeping Loved Ones Enclosed

The most traditional choice for this purpose would be picket fences as they provide an open view while not allowing young family members or toys to pass through. Rail fences with a mesh attached is a good choice where you want to have an even more open feel or to retain a pretty view. They can be combined with privacy fences if there is an area where you do not want visibility - in or out. These fences are available in single-sided (having a front and back) or double-sided (looks the same from both sides).

Establishing Borders

Although any type of fence can be used to establish a border the most popular choice is a rail fences - available in many different styles. Rail fences can be architectural in design or blend in with the background and be virtually invisible. You may want other types of fencing for your border depending on your needs, perhaps a privacy or picket fence. These, as most all fences, are available in single-sided (having a front and back) or double-sided (looks the same from both sides).   back to top    

Obstructing Views

Privacy fences are not only used to keep people from looking in but also to block the view of something unsightly. Whether simple stockade fence or an architecturally designed trellis fence, they can greatly enhance the enjoyment of areas that were not conducive to use before. Another advantage to privacy fences is the protection that they offer from a busy street or other source of noise. These fences are designed to compliment other styles of fence where a combination is desired. They are available in single-sided (having a front and back) or double-sided (looks the same from both sides).
