Have you been considering the possibility of putting a new privacy fence on your Aldie, VA property? If so, congratulations! They make great additions to just about any home or property, giving you a small slice of seclusion that allows you to entertain family and friends, enjoying the region’s unforgettable views, while simultaneously providing all the privacy you could ask for.
Of course, it should be pointed out that not all privacy fences are created equally. First, there’s the question of what type of material you’d like to see used in the fence’s construction. Broadly speaking, you’ve got three options here: Vinyl, natural wood, or some type of composite material.
Each material has inherent advantages and disadvantages. For instance, vinyl tends to be the least expensive option and most maintenance free option, but also isn’t as good looking as the other options you have available.
Natural wood looks great, but does require more in the way of ongoing maintenance and upkeep, while composite materials combine the best of both worlds, being very low maintenance and long lasting, while giving you the same look and feel as wood. Unfortunately, composite materials also tend to be more expensive than the other options.
Materials selection alone doesn’t provide the complete picture, however. What specific type of privacy fence on your Aldie, VA do you want?
You may not even be aware that there are different types to choose from, but there are!
The conventional privacy fence is the go-to solution that most people gravitate to, and it’s a fine choice, but there is one important limitation you should be aware of, and it’s all about aesthetics. This type of fencing looks great when viewed from outside the enclosed area, but if you’re inside, you’re looking at the back of the fence and the view isn’t nearly as impressive.
That’s why a growing number of people are opting for shadowbox fences. Adding this type of privacy fence to your Aldie, VA property gives you all the advantages of a conventional privacy fence, with the advantage that the aesthetic of the fence is the same no matter which side of it you’re on, because the boards are laid out in an alternating fashion on either side of the fence.
In addition to offering a consistent look, it also adds an element of dimensionality to the fence that conventional privacy fences just don’t offer, so it looks cool and it’s a guaranteed conversation starter. That’s win win, and even better, shadowbox fences don’t cost much more than their conventional cousins.
At the end of the day, there are no right answers beyond what you personally prefer, so whatever you decide, we’ll be ready to assist. We’ll be here whenever you are ready and have made a choice!
