Every home is a sacred place. You care for it through regular maintenance, invite friends and family into the shelter, and protect it as best as you can.

While a front yard fence seems decorative for some, there’s no denying that it also gives homeowners inner peace of mind. Modern fence designs ensure both safety and style — you get to keep your privacy within safe boundaries and deter prying eyes.

What to do if Red Notice is issued against you?

If you’re doing some home renovations and think that you could use a modern fence, check out these amazing ideas.

1.   Natural Wood Fence

Natural wood can do a lot for your home’s curb appeal. Whether you dream of having an American white picket fence or a privacy enclosure, wood gives you that flexibility in any type of home.

Although you have a wooden framework, that doesn’t mean that the whole structure of your wood fence should be made of boards. For instance, hog panel fences are increasingly popular from the farm but are also a beautiful addition to front cottages and modern homes. You can incorporate wire grids in between wood frames and precoat them for rust protection.

2.  Metal Fence

If you want something sleek, having a metal horizontal fence for your front yard can match the angles of a European estate. A classic wrought iron fence posts with decorative finials make a nice welcome accent. Hillsborough County homeowners often ask their fencing services in Tampa to use these materials for a vintage look that also provides safety. You can even pair your wrought iron front yard fence with a fancy backyard enclosure made from a different material.

For metal fences, common modern horizontal designs are made of aluminum, steel, or a mixture of different metals. To make a strong statement for your entrance, try pairing metal railing and slats with concrete or stone pillars.

3.  Modular Fence

For a professional-looking finish, you can add a modular system for your front yard fence. A modular fence makes use of a pre-assembled wood fence or steel fence panels that are easy to fit together. If you want it to match your style and function requirements, customization is possible.

A modular fence is constructed using panel and post varieties that are designed with a lightweight inner core and solid outer skin. Due to the light interior, the material absorbs external sound vibrations, which can reduce noise pollution. The solid outer membrane of a modular fence gives homeowners the durability necessary for an outdoor fencing system.

4.  Stone Fence

If your house already has stone features, your front yard is a great place to replicate these colours and textures. But even if your exterior doesn’t have brick or stone, you can introduce these natural elements.

You can set your concrete columns to look like carved stones for a classic statement. While a low stone fence reminds you of the English countryside, topping a low stone wall with wrought iron fencing elevates the natural look. Remember that stone fences or anything that requires masonry will take longer to install than other types due to the craftsmanship involved.

5.  Privacy Screen Fence

A privacy screen fence comes in various patterns and materials. It’s a great modern fence option for your front yard as it offers wind and dust protection. Depending on the design and material, you can customize the percentage of blockage allowed for wind flow and at the same time still provide adequate privacy.

You can usually see privacy screens used as temporary chain link fences in tennis courts, baseball fields, or to conceal construction projects. But nowadays, tons of material options are available for added durability, such as aluminum and high quality (HDPE) knitted polyethylene.

Professional Installation

Are you doing some renovations and planning to DIY your fence to save money?

Sure, there are tons of fence ideas online that you can reference. But remember, your installation time can take longer than you expected as it depends on your experience and how many skilled workers you have. Attempting to install the fence yourself can result in a fence that lacks the quality necessary to add value to your home.

Take a look at this 2021 home renovation price guide to get a clearer picture of what you can allow for your budget. Then, take that into account when you hire a professional to install your fence. Hiring an expert ensures that your fence ideas come to life and are installed at a certain high level of quality so that they can withstand various external factors.

 

Nice Fence = Good First Impression

The modern fence you install around your home will be the first thing people see when they visit. If you’re planning to sell your estate in the future, your fence design should stand out from the rest.

One of the important things homebuyers look for in a home is privacy. When you bring your fence ideas into life, consider how long it’ll hold and increase the value of your property once you decide to sell. The beauty of your contemporary house, garden and landscaping don’t matter if future buyers don’t get to enjoy their privacy in their new home.
