How to Choose the Right Fence

Custom Fence Built by KeirCon

Are you looking to add a new fence to your outdoor space? Selecting the correct style of fencing for your needs can be complicated. Let us help you find the perfect solution whether you are looking to add privacy, enhance security, improve appearance, or all of the above we have you covered.

Overlapping Boards to Increase Privacy

If you are looking to keep your backyard separate from your neighbours, consider selecting a fence design where the boards are closer together or overlapping. The height of your fence will be dependent on the slope of your yard as well as the amount of privacy you are looking for.

If a large fence seems a little too much for your liking consider a stepped design where the height incrementally increases to give extra privacy only where needed. This is a great option if you want to close off your seating area or hot tub, but keep the open feel in the rest of the yard. When working with KeirCon, we will ensure that your needs are met and can help you decide on a fence height that is practical for you.

Get a Sense of Security with a Tall Fence

Fences that enhance security require taller heights of a maximum 7 ft, minimal to no protruding elements that encourage climbing, and a durable gate with a strong latch. There is still the ability to customize your fence without having to sacrifice the level of protection by adding a decorative trellis to the top of a 6-foot fence. Whoever said security can’t be stylish?

Block Out the Street & Let the Sunlight In

Keep your property separate from the street with a fence that still allows the sun to shine in. By choosing to build a fence with small gaps between the boards you can block the street view and save on material costs. To add extra privacy you can include plants and foliage that grow up the sides of the fence and fill in some of the cracks.

Create a Border Around Your Pool

If you have a pool it is required that you have a fence for protection. Transform your swimming area into a backyard oasis with a custom wooden fence that creates a practical perimeter of your paradise. By law, you are required to have a fence that is at least 60 inches tall. If you would like to add extra privacy your fence height could be extended or decorative elements can be installed to the top for extra flair.

Keep Furry Family Members In & Unwanted Pests Out

Do you have a Hairy Houdini in your family? As puppy parents ourselves we understand the necessity of having a fence that keeps your animals in your yard. This will often depend on your dog’s height, how high they can jump, or how low they crawl.

If your dog is social, loves to chase, or just easily distracted (squirrel!) consider adding extra privacy to areas with high activity. You can block visual stimuli with a decorative privacy screen, stepped or overlapping fence to discourage barking and jumping. Whatever your need, we will work with you to create a fence that will have your four-legged friends running around safely and securely.
