About Me

Fences Are Important for Safety Today

When I was growing up, our home had a tall wooden privacy fence around the back yard and we had a wrought-iron fence around the front. I never really thought of them much as a child because I was just so used to them being there. After I graduated from college and finally had enough savings to buy my first home, I found one I loved that had no fences surrounding it. I noticed right away that I just didn't feel as safe in it as I did in my parents house due to the lack of fencing! I then put a lot of research into fence options and which were the most secure today. I feel that a lot of this research can benefit others, so I decided to start a blog to share it all. Come back soon for fence tips and advice!
