Don't Fence Me In

Sorry Bing Crosby....looks like the Hanna House is going against your recommendation and may fence in our backyard!

Yesterday we got an estimate (talk about sticker shock) - and were surprised by not only the price...but how many fencing options are available....

Decision 1: Fence Type
Vinyl 
Picket
Privacy
Horizontal Board
Aluminum
We are thinking a picket fence will best compliment our cape cod....

Decision 2: Post Style
Flat...French gothic...Wyndam...Williamsburg...Beveled and notched
Decision 3:  Fence Height  (This will of course influence your price)
4 Feet seems to be the standard except if you have a pool or want the privacy fence

Decision 5: Do you want the exposed posts to face you - or the neighbors?
posts facing you
posts facing the neighbor
Decision 6: Spacing between your rungs
1 and 1/2 Inch Spacing (we are considering 2" for cost savings)


The fencing company recommends looking around the neighborhood at other fences to decide on the style we like best....will keep you posted on the final decision....
