Perimeter fencing is the most essential thing to keep in mind while either building or buying a new house in Perth. The house that you buy will probably be a vital investment of your life & there is practically no other feature, which you can add for increasing the value & marketability of your investment other than a nice looking perimeter fence, which is installed & maintained professionally. 

Fencing Options 
The fencing options in today's world are both decorative as well as practical and each style can incorporate or combine the advantages or functionality of more than one or more kinds of fencing in one. 

There are 5 basic types of fences presently available: 
1. Ornamental aluminium
2. Wood & wood panel fences 
3. PVC vinyl fences 
4. COLORBOND® steel fences
5. Chain link & wire fences 

Functionalities of fences 
Many kinds of fence & fencing materials that are available today offer more than one or many advantages & functions given below: 
Privacy fencing – offers seclusion & privacy 
Boundary fencing – defines or demarcates real estate property lines 
Decorative fencing – enhances the look of a garden, landscaping or garden 
Perimeter fencing – prevents theft or trespassing or/and keeps pets and children from wandering away 
Pool fencing – provides safety & passes local zoning & safety codes 
Agricultural fencing – keeps livestock in or/and predators out 
Equine fence – the rail and post kind of fence used typically for horses 
A balustrade – prevents people from falling over the edge of a stairway, balcony or roof, staircase, bridge etc. 

Residential fencing benefits 
No matter what kind of fencing option you are planning to install for your home whether it is a wood fence, a vinyl panel privacy fence, an ornamental aluminium one or a COLORBOND® steel fencing in Perth, there are mainly three benefits to fencing ownership which remain constant. 

Security – You can enhance the quality of your life by offering a safe space & private outdoor environment for your kids to play in where they can be monitored easily. You can also use the space for your pet to run in without worrying about them from escaping or needing to tie them to a pole. Intruders and univited guests won't be able to enter your property when you have a fence installed. 

Privacy – Nowadays houses are built very close to one another and so privacy has become a much needed commodity. And the best place to get it other than your bedroom is in the backyard of your own property with installation of fencing and gates in Perth. It is a great place for relaxation, exercising, entertainment and gardening. 
 
Increased property value – Fencing can improve the value of your home. However, this doesn't mean that using any kind of fence will increase your home's value tremendously. Since a chain link fence is less costly, the resale value obtained will be very less. On the other hand, wood fences & solid fences like cast iron or COLORBOND® steel fencing can net a profit of about fifty percent of the material & installation costs on resale.
