Not all wood is created equally. What wood might work well in colder climates may not be able to sustain itself from a barrage of constant sunlight.  In Florida, a Pressure Treated Southern Pine is the most resilient in prolonged rain and heat.  Cypress is a very reliable and durable wood as well, but it mostly is shipped from the North and might cost quite a bit more.

Here are some things to watch out for if you aren’t careful about which kind of wood you’re selecting:

• Some wood is mixed with plastic. Stick with vinyl if you like the idea of a plastic fence.
• Pre-fabricated wooden fences are prone to damage and regular repairs.  It is still considered pre-fab if any of the sections of the fence aren’t constructed on-site.
• Avoid wood from other countries if you can.  Many home improvement stores purchase their wood from distributors whom import.

Making sure you select the best possible wood for your fencing project will maintain longevity and superior condition for 10, 15, or even 20 years.

We must first consider why we’ve specifically decided to go with a privacy fence, as opposed to  a typical fence we could normally construct to perimeter our home and lawn.  Privacy fences don’t have spaces between each rail,  and can extend higher than other fences, thus creating a barrier that ensures your privacy.  We may have our own motives for this route with fencing, but most likely it has to do with preventing neighbors from eavesdropping, peeking into our pool parties, and attempting to reach through an opening to pilfer a hot dog right off the grill.

There are mostly only pros for deciding to construct a privacy fence instead of a semi-private fence, besides that it could be more costly and require more maintenance because of the usage of more materials.  Architecturally, there are very interesting ways to make a outstanding privacy fence.  They can be painted into a more fluid design because there aren’t any gaps in the planks.  Also since there are no gaps, intruders from the outside can’t find any footing on the exterior of your fencing.  This prevents your summer-sweltered neighbors from hopping your fence to use your pool while you’re on vacation.

If you’re looking for a superior-quality, perfectly constructed privacy fence for your home, Paramount Fencing would love to be the ones you choose for the project. Call us today and learn more!

Fencing can be made out of numerous materials, but the most commonly used are chain-linked, wood, iron, or vinyl. Not sure which to use for your home? Here are the pro’s and con’s for each.

Chain-linked: This type of fencing is great because it is inexpensive and easy to maneuver. Chain-linked fences are also very successful at their purpose, pet barricades, property lining, etc. When thinking about building a chain-linked fence, it is important to remember that although the fence is functional, it does not allow any privacy, so if you purpose of your fence is to maintain privacy for your home, maybe a different fence material would be more appropriate for your needs.

Wood: Wood fencing is fantastic because it is very functional for privacy, property lines, and durability. Wood fences can also be built many different ways, regarding height and shape. A con for wood fencing is that it is harder to install initially and once you do, the fence is there to stay for a while. Wood fences also have a very clean look.

Iron: To build a fence in iron is a lot more difficult than building a fence in any of the other materials. Iron fences are heavy and very durable. They do not give too much privacy but they provide functionality for property lines. Iron fences give a very elegant look and are on the more fancy side of fencing.

Vinyl: Vinyl fencing is more durable than other materials and is very easy and ready to install. As far as the look goes, the color options are more limited to white and beige. This type of fence also provides a good property line, but does not add to as much privacy as other materials may. When choosing a vinyl material, it is important to remember that vinyl that costs less can sometimes look very cheap (like plastic) as well.

With this information on the different fencing materials,  hopefully you will be able to choose the best one that fits your needs.

Growing up in Central Florida, I remember fall being the best season to play outside with my friends. The days are still long, the weather is still warm yet not too hot, the rain seemed to come less and less and your options for things to do once homework is completed are endless! As an active child, these parts of the day were so important to me.

Fall is among us and the kids are playing outside. Safety is a number one priority as parents and having a safe play area for our children away from the streets is very important to maintaining this priority. Paramount Fencing creates custom fences so that you can stay worry free while your children spend their afternoons in the yard. These fences can be in any form, shape, or size that you prefer. Half or full fences are also available in any of our materials.

Many Central Florida neighborhoods lack outer fencing to group together its development. Fencing in your neighborhood is very important for many reasons. For one, the outer fencing helps to create more of a community atmosphere. Your neighborhood should be the place where you feel most comfortable and at ease. Fencing adds that little touch to make your neighborhood cozier. Also, neighborhood framework adds more safety for the homeowners. With fewer options for escape from the neighborhood, burglaries are less likely to occur.
In addition, building a barrier from the less kept streets or neighborhoods in the area could, in turn, generate a more visually appealing environment for your neighborhood. Everyone wants their neighborhood to be beautiful; it is the first impression visitors have of their home. A beautiful neighborhood means a beautiful home.
At Paramount Fencing, we take pleasure in providing neighborhoods with fencing that will add that extra feature to make homeowners proud. For more information on what Paramount Fencing can do for your neighborhood, please call 407-341-2720 today!
