If you’re looking to install a new fence on your property in the near future, you should know that you cannot complete the process without a proper plan! There are a ton of specific things that you’ll need to take into account in order to get the best results from your project. The dimensions of your fence, materials used, and total cost are all important to consider, but there’s another aspect that you may be forgetting about: your fence’s height! A new fence won’t be able to accomplish much if it doesn’t have the right height. However, a fence’s height can depend on a variety of factors. We’ll go over the most important ones below!
What Is The Purpose Of Your Fence?
Arguably, the most important aspect to consider when determining your fence’s height is its overall purpose. Those who are just looking to install it for decorative purposes won’t need to have a super-tall fence. However, if you’re installing it for security reasons, you may need something a little bit taller! This is especially the case if you’re looking to keep out deer and other wildlife. Those who are looking for privacy from their neighbors will also want a taller fence.
How Tall Is Your Property?
It won’t make a ton of sense to have a tall fence for a short property – and vice versa! Your property’s height isn’t something that you’ll be able to change, so you’ll need to adjust your fence square height to be comparable to it. The taller your house is, the more likely it is that you’ll need to have a heightened fence. If it’s a one-story building, get a shorter fence so you won’t have to compromise on your view from the window.
What Local Codes & HOA Restrictions Do You Have?
Every area and neighborhood has differing restrictions when it comes to fence installation. It isn’t a uniform measurement from place to place! If you have an HOA, talk to them before you install your fence to determine the most appropriate height for it. If you don’t, your local codes and restrictions should be easily found on your town or city’s website.
