When deciding whether or not you should install a fence on your property there are a few things to consider. What type of fence do you want, what purpose do you want the fence to serve, what is your budget.

Some of the most common reasons people chose to install a fence include:


  • Privacy -If you notice that your neighbor can see what you are doing while in your backyard, then it is time you install a fence. Everyone values their privacy, and they wouldn't want to be bothered by their nosy neighbors. Fencing will offer your family and friends privacy, so you can have that summer barbecue and enjoy the pool in peace.


  • Safety - You wouldn't want your pets and small children wandering off and getting lost. For the security and safety of your family and your peace of mind, install a fence. Pool fencing is also important because when you are not around, you won't have to worry about young ones falling in by accident. If you do not have a fence around your property, pool fencing will ensure that intruders do not use your swimming pool without your permission.


  • Home Value - Professional fence installation Columbus Ohio will increase the value of your property in case you put it up for sale. A well maintained and high-quality fence will also add aesthetic value to your home and is an investment you can be proud of for years to come.



There are many different types of fencing available on the market and trying to decide which fence you should install on your property can be challenging. It is therefore vital to consider the pros and cons of each type of fencing before you settle on a particular style.


  • There are many options of wood to choose from, depending on the look you desire. You can paint or stain the wood to suit your style. A wood privacy fence can be constructed for more safety and security, or you can install a quaint picket fence that won't offer the same level of privacy but provides great curb appeal to your property. Wood fencing does require regular maintenance. You need to stain the wood fencing regularly to extend its life, a task that can be time-consuming and costly, especially if your fence is large. In a wet climate, wood fencing can rot or warp. 


  • Chain link fences require little maintenance after installation and they are inexpensive. If you have a large property and your budget is low, then chain link fence installation Columbus is the best option. However, chain link fences serve a particular purpose, so they usually lack curb appeal. They will not offer you privacy or maximum security because someone can easily climb them. 


  • Vinyl fencing is durable as it does not rot or rust and requires little maintenance. Even though vinyl fencing is costly, its durability will ensure it costs less in the long run. However, a vinyl fence can crack if you expose it to very high temperatures for long.  This type of fencing requires little maintenance, and it is durable. There is a wide variety of colors and styles that will suit your preferences.


  • Aluminum fencing is expensive, but its durability and the little maintenance it requires will cost less in the long run. It is the best option if you are looking to fence a large property in sloped terrain. Aluminum fencing is also a great option for securing your pool.


A fence is one of the most essential investments for your home, and that is why you need to ensure that the right people install it. Getting a professional to install your fence will ensure you get the right value for your money, and that you get a fence that will serve you for years.​ Contact Columbus Fence Co today to discuss installing or repairing your fence!
