How to Choose the Right Fence Based on Your Lifestyle

Introduction


Fencing isn’t just about marking boundaries—it’s about matching your outdoor space with the way you live. Whether you have kids, pets, frequent backyard parties, or simply want peace and quiet, the right fence can make your yard more functional, safe, and stylish.

At Super Fabrications, we believe every homeowner deserves a fence that fits their daily routine and long-term goals. Here's how to pick the perfect fencing style based on your lifestyle needs.




???? 1. Families with Young Children


Top priorities:

  • Safety

  • Visibility

  • Durability


Best fence options:

  • Vinyl or wood privacy fences: No sharp edges, low maintenance

  • Shadowbox style: Offers airflow with limited gaps

  • 4–6 feet high: Tall enough to prevent climbing or wandering


Bonus tip:
Smooth finishes and rounded edges reduce injury risk during playtime.




???? 2. Pet Owners


Top priorities:

  • Security

  • Ground-level coverage

  • Chew- and jump-proof materials


Best fence options:

  • Chain-link with privacy slats for durability

  • Vinyl fencing (dogs won’t chew it like wood)

  • Steel fencing with narrow gaps for smaller pets


Bonus tip:
Add a dig guard or concrete footer to stop escape attempts from under the fence!

  • Privacy

  • Style
