While fencing marks out your home's boundaries, it can also do other things. For example, privacy screen fences have other advantages. What are they?
Get More Privacy
While any fencing marks your property as private land, some products don't give you complete privacy. For example, if you install picket fences, then people can see inside your garden through their gaps. Low fences don't prevent people from peeking over and into your property.
Privacy screen fencing gives you complete privacy. These fences can be made from various materials, such as wood, glass or metals.
They all prevent people from looking into your home and garden. They block out views and are typically higher than the norm.
You can use them all around your home or in areas where you want more privacy such as around outdoor dining spaces. They are also a good option if you want to screen your family from view when you use your pool.
The spaces your fencing encloses become much more private. You don't have to worry about passers-by and neighbours being able to see what you are doing through or over your fences. You create more secluded and concealed spaces.
Enhance Your Home's Security
Some burglars target properties and plan to break in at a later time. They might see that you have a lot of valuable electronics in your home if they can see through or over your fences.
However, some thieves are opportunistic. If they can see items in your garden, then they might jump over a fence to steal them. For example, if you leave your family's bikes in your garden, then they could simply pick one up and ride it away.
Privacy screen fencing gives you some extra security. People can't see through this fencing, so they won't be able to see any possessions you have in your home or garden. They also won't be able to climb a fence easily if it is higher than the norm. You're less likely to be targeted by opportunistic burglars.
Make Your Garden More Comfortable
Some fences don't give you full weather protection. Wind can come in through gaps in picket fencing or through post connections in panel fences. Plus, these fences do little to cut out external noise.
Privacy screen fences enclose your spaces more effectively. If you choose the right materials, then they will cut out wind, so you can enjoy being in your garden even on windy days. They can also act as a sound barrier to reduce noise coming into your space.

Our dogs are lots of fun and very energetic, but they also have a scary bark. It's great to make the house more secure, but I am always worried that they'll scare people just passing by the house, so we have a tall fence to keep the dogs in. It makes people feel better if they can't see the dogs, and it makes me feel better to know that the dogs are safe and secure in our yard. This blog is all about keeping your yard secure so that your dogs will be safe inside and don't make the neighbours feel nervous.
