When choosing the right fence for your home in Connecticut there are a number of factors to be considered. You will need to decide if you are going to go DIY or have it built for you. CT fencing options are only limited by your imagination. CT fences can come in a huge range of styles and materials.

The first consideration is what is the purpose of the fence? It may be primarily for the security and safety of the property, or is it for privacy or perhaps it is purely for a decorative effect. All of these reasons will help you decide on the type of materials and style needed for your barrier. Often a barrier is needed to keep pets in, keep children safe and also keep any predators out. Wood panel fences are often chosen for these circumstances as they are usually reasonably tall and are available in designs with very small gaps between the panels where pets or small children can make their escape. A wood panel will provide great privacy and can be painted or stained to match your house and landscape.

Many people choose vinyl fencing because it is virtually maintenance free. It may not offer as much privacy but it does come in a wide range of styles and colors and offers the huge benefit of worry free maintenance. Vinyl is an extremely hard wearing material that will last and withstand the elements year after year.

Post and rail fences present a charming appeal to your property. They look attractive and give a rustic appearance. However the gaps in this style will be too large if you have pets and small children to enclose and will not offer very much in the way of privacy.

Chain link fencing will offer protection but does not offer a great deal of decorative appeal. It is good for containing children and pets and can be coated in different colors to blend with your property and landscape. Of course, it will not offer any privacy at all but is economical and practical.

Polymer fencing comes in wide color range and looks attractive with the appearance of iron but it is much longer wearing and less expensive. This type of barrier will offer protection but no privacy.

If you have a swimming pool you will need to ensure that it is properly fenced. It is a legal requirement so that children are protected. It will give you peace of mind to know that it will protect your own children and pets as well as keeping others out.

It is best to make sure of your exact needs before choosing which type of fencing will be best. There are the factors of security, privacy, appeal and durability to be weighed up together with the outlay required. Once the decision has been made about the style and materials for your barrier it is time to start on the exciting part of your project. The home handy man will happily go and purchase the materials from their local fence company while the less handy will need to make use of their installation services.
