subject: Benefits Of Choosing Custom Fencing For Your Home [print this page] Though all fences essentially fulfill the same purpose, there is something to be said about a unique fence. Custom fencing not only adds to the aesthetic value of your home and gives it curb appeal, but it also reflects your personal style and taste. If you are in the process of building a new fence, here are some reasons for choosing custom fencing rather than the standard cedar or vinyl fencing:
1. Show off your personal flair with a unique structure.
Break away from the same old monotonous fence designs by opting for custom fencing that can also serve as artistic dcor. There are so many ways you can incorporate your own personal touch to your cedar fencing, such as incorporating an open-weave lattice so your garden is visible, adding decorative items to the tops of fence posts, integrating different designs between the slats, using different colored fencing materials, adding accent materials (like wrought iron), and so forth.
2. Work around design challenges in an easier manner with custom fencing.
When choosing custom fencing, you can turn challenges in your landscaping into stylish accents. A custom fence design can easily work around trees that are too tall to remove, hilly landscapes, and rocky yards without altering your landscape.
3. Complement the architecture of your home with your custom fence.
Your cedar fencing can be designed to complement the architectural structure of your home by repeating lines, shapes, or architectural themes present in your home's design.
4. Have a gate with some "wow" factor.
Command attention and put an end to blending in with the other gates in your neighborhood by choosing custom fencing. Here are some ideas for sprucing up the gate for your cedar or vinyl fencing:
-Add a pergola or an arbor to your gate for a regal, English rose garden look.
-Utilize both straight and curved trelliswork to your gate for an Asian-inspired look.
-Add metallic accents or a fancy handle to your gate for a more personalized look.
5. Meet your personal needs or the needs of your family with a tailored fence.
Having custom fencing allows you to consider and accommodate the specific needs of you and your family. If you have a family member who is in a wheelchair, you can design a fence that is an appropriate height for them or that allows them to access the latch. If you have a dog that likes to chase cars down the street, you can use sturdy cedar fencing to keep it in the yard. If you are not crazy about having the neighborhood cats get into your yard, you can use vinyl fencing to discourage them. Whatever you lifestyle choices and needs are, you can incorporate them into you fencing.
