Updating the look and feel of your backyard can make a huge difference. Not to mention, add privacy and security, while contributing to an increase in the value of your home. A simple way to add value and design to the outside of your home would be to have a wood fence installed. When considering installing a wood fence in Chicago, its best to work with a qualified contractor that has experience using different types of wood and designs. Here are the three most popular wood fencing options.
Privacy Fence
The privacy fence does exactly what its name suggests: provides you with the most privacy possible. This fence is the most common and popular choice; also the most versatile. A well-constructed fence reduces outside noise as it acts as a barrier around your property. You should always work with a contractor that will build your fence using only the highest quality of wood. This fence consists of tightly-spaced wood panels, removing the worry of anything getting in or out between the planks. Due to the tight wood design, a privacy fence can even offer some protection from changing weather conditions.
Semi-Privacy Fence
The semi-privacy fence is a great choice if you are looking for privacy but a bit more freedom.
The flexible design of this fence allows for better air-flow. A semi-privacy fence is the right choice if you are looking to fence in the most used area of your yard, or looking to enclose your pool. You will still have a level of privacy, but will be able to view the outside areas. Semi privacy fences are also a great way to great creative as they are more customizable.
Picket Fence
The picket fence is iconic and has come to be a symbol of the American dream. This classic look has stood the test of time. Installing this type of fence might not add much privacy to your home, but it will add a level of charm and does offer a level of protection from the elements. The most popular uses for a picket fence are to add protection around a garden or to frame the boundaries of your property. Installing a picket fence can help keep the neighborhood critters out, and keep your pets in.
