If there is one thing that separates the generations, it may be that neighbors do not know each other as well as they used to. That generational difference aside, privacy is important, and finding a metal panel fence for privacy is a major trend that has emerged in recent years in both the commercial and residential sectors. Using metal panels is a pretty great way of ensuring privacy while still creating a visually-appealing look.
Privacy can be sought for a number of reasons. Perhaps we want less eyes on our property or in the direction of our family. Maybe our facilities need protection as they contain valuable equipment and/or intellectual property. It could be as simple as wanting to maintain the integrity of the landscaping that costs an arm and a leg to maintain on a weekly basis. The point is that maintaining privacy has its merits, and the metal panel fence has found its place in delivering an optimal amount of privacy while not looking too much like a steel fortification.
But is a metal panel fence for privacy right for you? This is just the first in a bevy of questions worth asking before you invest in this type of fencing. Other major questions worth noting include:
Are there options available if my property slopes?
Should I use standard concrete or a fast-drying version of concrete?
Will it be OK to install the fence panels as I go?
How does my fence do in terms of a noise barrier?
What kind of longevity can I expect from my metal panel fence?
Does my fence need regular maintenance?
How deep should my fence posts be?
The majority of these questions are specific to how a prospective metal panel fence will work on your property. Therein lies the key. Far too often, questions tend to get raised about color options and trim variations, for example. While important to an extent, it is crucial to understand whether or not a metal panel fence will be able to handle the terrain of your property well enough to remain standing and be an effective fence.
Furthermore, many of these questions also hinge on the possibility of the DIY installation of the metal panel fence. While manufacturers and suppliers of these fences take pride in the ease of installation for their product, it is possible that the scope of the project may be beyond that of the would-be installer’s lack of mechanical inclination. What’s more, the basic tool list seems to indicate that the prospective job might not be that complicated when, in fact, it may well be.
