You’ve already made one major decision about the type of fence you want for the back yard. It must be made of wood. There are still several other decisions to make before work on that new Chicago wood fence can get underway. Here are three areas that you will want to discuss with the contractor.
The Fence Materials
Choosing wood is a start, but what sort of wood do you want? There are options like oak, cypress, cedar, pine, and spruce to think about. The contractor can point out the merits associated with each type of wood. In particular, the contractor can identify the wood options that are considered especially good for the kind of fence you have in mind.
The Fence Height
How tall do you want that new Chicago wood fence to be? Perhaps the plan is to enclose the space while still providing a view of the surrounding properties. Maybe you want a fence that’s tall enough to provide plenty of privacy. A contractor will know how tall the fence can be, based on the zoning laws that apply in your neighborhood. That will help you get an idea of what can be done without having to apply for some type of exemption.
The Type of Hardware You Want
What sort of hardware do you want for your new Chicago wood fence? Some homeowners like to keep things simple and have the hardware blend into the background with ease. Others like to use hardware as a decorative touch. Take a look at both approaches and consider what would provide the fence with the type of look and function that you want.
