Fencing plays an important role in defining your home’s outdoor lot and also plays a security role in keeping unwanted people and animals out. Fencing, however, also plays an essential design aesthetic in the creation of a cohesive outdoor living environment.
If you are creating an outdoor kitchen for example, the fencing around the yard plays a key visual role — you’ll be sitting your outdoor kitchen and one thing you will always see is your fencing. Many outdoor area designers opt to dress up their fencing with hardwood cladding from Exterior Solutions, a specialty provider of design-friendly materials.
There are a number of reasons why hardwood cladding on your fencing is ideal for your home, from obvious security benefits to providing adequate privacy and preventing vandalism, to adding a pleasing aesthetic barrier between your property and the outside world. With so many varieties on the market now, it can be hard to decide which type of fence you should invest in, so we’ve done the hard work there for you here.
Benefits of a Garrison fence
Typically, Garrison fencing is installed on a property for two main reasons – to keep your home safe and to add a visually appealing element.
1.   Security
This is obvious, but the most important. Private homes definitely need security, especially if the homeowner has a young family or valuable possessions that need to be protected. Protecting your home from potential burglars is perhaps the most important benefit of a security fence. Security fencing is also an important part of commercial property – buildings are unoccupied for extended periods of time after employees return home at night, and commercial properties need extreme protection. The Equipment, furniture, assets and even the building itself need to be protected at all times. Nothing can be more effective in providing security than an effective fence.
Security fences are a great way to ensure that your children and pets stay safe. The fence will provide them with a safe place to play, while protecting them from cars and other outside dangers.
2.   Vandal & Graffiti Inhibitor
Vandalism is a growing problem for many people, both homeowners and commercial property owners alike. Vandals can leave graphics on the wall or damage the exterior of private property. Commercial property or public buildings seem to be the most attractive to graffiti artists and vandals. The key aspect is location – if you choose the correct location to install your security fence, it can make it nearly impossible for a vandal to leave his mark. When used in this way, a security fence can be a great deterrent to vandals and graffiti artists.
3.   Aesthetically pleasing features
While a security fence should ultimately provide a strong and reliable barrier between your property and the rest of the world, it can also improve the overall look and feel of your home. This can increase the value of your property, if you are looking to sell at any point in the future. To this end, security fencing comes in a variety of designs – from electric fences to stationary iron, aluminum, or mesh (to name a few). There is a range of colors too, so you can choose a security fence that will best complement your home or modernize your existing style. The final decision on the type of fence you need depends entirely on your security needs, aesthetic preferences, and budget.
4.   Privacy
Have you ever opened a window to notice a neighbor or someone outside watching or watching over you, your home or your family? It can be very annoying and can make you think twice before opening your home to light and fresh air on fine days. Having a solid barrier like a security fence prevents people from being able to look into your house, check your belongings, or keep an eye on you and your family while you relax. It could mean that you will be able to open your house without the rest of the world being able to get involved in it.
5.   To provide a protective barrier against the weather
A security fence can also add a barrier against the bad weather. When it comes to strong winds, rain or hail, a steel security fence can protect your home from serious damage. Of course, it all depends on the type of fence and where you put it, but either way you’re looking at an extra layer of weather protection that your home or commercial property doesn’t have.
