Orange County Fences: Fence Designs

The first decision you must make when you decide you want to fence your property, is what do you want the fence to do? Is it for security? Is it for privacy? Is it for beauty? Is it to keep the kids and a dog in an enclosed area?

The second decision is where do you live? Are there restrictions as to where the fence can be installed or what kind of fence? For instance your city or county where you live may require the fence to be six feet or under, and it should be installed how many feet from the road, street, or sidewalk? Who will install it? You need to answer those questions before you invest in a fence.


The cheapest fence you can buy is a chain link fence. The most common sizes come in 4’ 5’ and 6’ heights. There are several advantages to chain link. If you live in an area where the wind blows, the chain link will last much longer than a wood fence. It never needs painting, and it doesn’t block your view of the neighbors.

If it’s privacy you want and are willing to spend the time and money in painting it every year or two, a wood fence will work for most people. Weather is the biggest problem with wood fences. They rot, they fade, they blow down, but when you replace the rot, paint the fade, and put it back up when they blow down, a wood fence is a good investment.

There are new products that replace the wood fences and some you can hardly  tell the difference. Vinyl fencing is the new product and you will see them all over town. They come mainly in white, never need painting, you can wash them off when they get dirty, paint doesn’t adhere to them. They are more expensive, but there are cheap versions out there and remember you get just what you pay for.
Other fences are around that you may like. Picket fences that come in wood or vinyl are pretty, and add finishing touches to your property, but they don’t add any security. The wood needs the same care as the wood fence. Wrought iron fences are beautiful, provide security but not much privacy, but you could always plant shrubs around them if that is your choice.
One choice and it isn’t considered a fence, it’s a block wall. You have security, privacy and higher taxes, because they add value to your home and property.
