How to Keep Cats From Wrecking Your Garde

Just about everyone you talk to on the street would tell you something similar. They all want some place to live that is not only comfortable, but safe and secure. Most people want that ultimate dream: the nice house, big yard, cat and/or dog, kids, AND a fence. Why the fence? It completes the dream. It marks your territory. It encloses what belongs to YOU. A good fence can be a source of pride.

Maybe your dream is a little different, and you want a business instead. Many business owners also need a good strong fence around their property to define the facility. A friendly gate that will offer security also gives a unique flair to a business.

Fences come in all shapes, colors and sizes. Some lock, some slide, some are high, some are short, some are wood, some are steel, and some are more memorable than others. Fences can welcome friends and family, or keep out strangers. Fences can be colorful and cheery, or cold and menacing. Your fence can convey whatever message you want.

Cheery and inviting

Fences can be made out of almost any material, but typically they are made of chain link, wood, vinyl or metal/steel. These types of fences are easy to maintain, and some are easier than others to install.

Chain link fences – These fences are low-cost, durable, easy to maintain, and can be easily locked, if necessary. You can use them for all sizes of property.
Wooden fences – These fences are easily customizable in shape and height, can be painted or stained to your preferred color, offer better privacy than chain link, and if maintained correctly, can last for many years.
Vinyl fences – While being more expensive than the other two options, these fences last much longer than chain link or wooden cat fence paddles . They don’t need paint or refinishing and can be cleaned with basic cleaning products. They don’t decompose or rust.

Some fences are made to be more than cheery and inviting. Some fences are meant to be inviting but offer peace of mind to the owner and inhabitants.

Inviting but protective…

Fences and gates are erected to give a property character, but also to give security. More and more businesses and residential complexes choose to put gates and fences around their properties to protect the inhabitants. These types of fences are typically heavy-duty.

Metal or steel fencing – These fences offer more security because they are typically created with lasers instead of nuts and bolts. These fences are more likely to come with a locking mechanism or can be programmed to obey remote controls.
