Your Guide to Metal Fence Panels for Privacy and Safety

Today, we will share some information regarding metal fence panels. Therefore, if you are planning to install a metal fence for your home exterior to provide safety and privacy, we expect you to get some ideas of how to do it right. Without further ado, let’s check them out!

First of all, remember that exterior fences are subject to local zoning codes. This means your solid metal fence panels should follow the maximum height allowed. You should also consider the distance between the fence and your property lines. It is advisable to contact the municipality’s zoning department first for any clarification. Contacting your neighbor association (if there is any) and local officials for further limitations on height, location and fence style is also recommended.

Apart from that, it is always recommended to consult with your neighbors whose property is adjacent to your new home fence. This way, you can give them a chance to prepare for the change. Meeting your neighbors is also a good way to confirm your understanding of the property lines so you can prevent any possible trouble in the future.

Security fences are generally 6 feet tall or higher to keep people out and may have spiky fence tops which deter climbers. There are decorative fences, which are added to establish an aesthetic element to your landscape. They are typically not large and often have a simple fence design. Last but not least, there are solid metal privacy fence panels that are built to block sight lines in order to prevent strangers from looking into your compound.
