Picking Out a Privacy Fence Having the backyard open to the world means anyone can see in. If you’re not comfortable with this, a privacy fence might be the best option. There are plenty of different fences that can be used to add privacy to a backyard, including a stockade fence that is a wooden fence with the panels attached closely together. When the height is at least six feet, this blocks the view from outside of the backyard, adding a significant amount of privacy immediately. With the right wood, this can be a very attractive option for many yards. Our Merrimack Valley fencing experts can discuss the options you have for a fence that adds privacy if that’s what you’d prefer and let you know what the best types are for your situation. We can make sure it not only adds privacy but looks amazing as well. Choosing a Dog Fence or Enclosure Dogs can escape any backyard that isn’t fenced in. Even if they’re typically very well behaved, it’s best to have a fenced-off area where they can run and play. Larger dog enclosures are a great way to have an area set aside for the dog to run and play, without having to fence off the entire yard. This can be especially beneficial for larger yards where a smaller fence might suffice for the remaining area, but the dog’s enclosure needs more robust fencing. If a dog is the main reason for adding a fence, there are plenty of fencing options available. Commonly, a dog fence is made from a chain-link fence but can be made from any other material and in any style. The main concern is to ensure the panels are close enough together the dog can’t get out.
