Why To Trust Us With Your New Fence Installation

To us, a fence, a deck, or a shade structure is more than just an accessory for your home. These structures are something special – a way for you to get outside and enjoy your property, to create memories with your friends and family.

Our Products Make Us Happy

We started Future Outdoors with the goal of bringing quality outdoor products to people at an affordable price, but that’s not what drives us. Our goal isn’t just to sell more fences or pergolas. We do what we do because we truly believe our products help people feel better and live better lives.

It might sound corny, but it’s the truth. We think that a patio cover, a quality fence, or a new deck will help you be happier and live a better life. Why?

Enjoy Your Outdoor Spaces

More and more often, it seems like our lives are rushing out one door and in another. When was the last time you sat outside in your backyard and simply enjoyed the weather or chatted with a neighbor as they walked by your front porch? If you’re like most people, it’s been a while.

But by creating a comfortable outdoor space, you’ll suddenly find yourself drawn outdoors. A new deck is an invitation to sit out front with a glass of tea or lemonade. A new fence makes you want to get out and do some gardening or play with your family in the backyard. In short, we see our products as a way to let people enjoy the outdoors from the comfort of their own home.

Obey Fencing Regulations

Every township has its own specific code rules and regulations for fencing, and not knowing what they are isn’t an excuse for doing the job wrong. Your vinyl fence company will probably know the rules for your area, but double-check your fence against the code before it goes up.

If you don’t, you could be forced to tear it all down and redo it on your own dime, plus pay a fine. A non-regulation fence can also affect your neighbor’s property values, leaving them upset.

Respect Your HOA

If your neighborhood has a homeowner’s association, make sure to clear your fencing project with them beforehand. Just like with city codes, you’ll need to either provide the HOA with plans or run the design by them to ensure it fits within their statutes.

If it doesn’t, they might fine you or order you take it down – and your neighbors might also complain about your non-regulation fence. It’s much easier to get the proper clearance first than to deal with all the headaches after.

In addition, there are a few other things you can do that, while not strictly required, are definitely nice gestures to your neighbors and community:

Share Fencing Intents Beforehand

One good idea that will help smooth over any potential fencing disputes is to let them know about your plans to install a new fence before you begin the installation. You don’t necessarily have to show them your plans – the fence is on your property, after all – but it can help if you think your neighbor might be interested in paying for part of it.

However, you should show them where you intend to place the fence. Let them know if there are any property line problems you discovered when you ordered the survey.

Ensure Your Fence Doesn’t Stand Out

A sure way to invite the ire of your neighborhood is to install a fence that looks out-of-place for its surroundings. Even if you personally like a particular fencing style, try to match the look of your neighbors’ houses and fences to keep the neighborhood looking good.

A vinyl fence is a great way to keep your property looking nice season after season since they don’t break down or rot over time. They also come in a variety of colors and styles to match the look of any neighborhood or development.

Install it the Right Way Around

In addition to choosing a fence design that matches the look of your neighborhood. You should also install your fence so that the fence rail (if your design includes one) is on the inside. One benefit of vinyl fencing is that the panels often look the same on both sides, making it easy to get a clean and finished look on both the inside and outside of your fence. With a vinyl fence, there’s no “nice side” to worry about – every side is the nice one!
