When the Focus is Form

It’s normal for people struggle to decide what kind of fence to have their fence contractor install around their yard. However, CFC Fence Installers wants to make it easy for you to make the decision.

Wood Fences

When it’s time to select fencing for your property, how many types of fences may overwhelm you and other options there are from which to choose. But the decision largely comes down to two considerations: form and function. In other words, what is the purpose of the fence (function) and how do you want it to look (form).

Rarely is there is happy medium between form and function. For example, you may want a low maintenance fence (function), so you choose to have a vinyl fence installed. However, white vinyl is often seen as an eyesore for any property that actually detracts from the form.

When the Focus Is on Form

When focusing on form you have a few options for fencing of fences that look beautiful, but are not perfect for every house. For instance a split rail fence is a beautiful fence for Ranch-style houses and Landscape designs with a Southwestern theme. However, they might not be appropriate for a home that is urban and modern. However, Fortress ornamental fencing is a modern style of fence that meets the needs of most urban homes. Even within cedar fences there are many styles that provide different forms for your home. Are you looking for a simple design? Ask your fence contract to install a dog-ear fence. Are you looking for something more robust? Consider using larger posts in a shadow box style to add some heft to your fence line.
