10 Cheap Ways to Fence Your Yard
Private outdoor space is one of the best reasons to buy a home. We dream of having our own space to show off to friends , keep our kids busy (and hide away) , and even earn some extra money .
However, no one tells you when you’re looking for a home that there’s a surprisingly high chance that your new home won’t have a backyard fence . The reasons for this vary, but it often comes down to cost and culture – fences can be expensive, and many people see fencing as unfriendly and anti-social. Personally, I’m a firm believer in the old adage that tall fences make for good neighborhoods.
Fences are also expensive. Fencing your yard can cost you an average of around $3,000 or a lot more, depending on the material you choose, the size of your yard, and whether you hire a contractor to install it or do it yourself. If you’ve just bought a house, you may not have much cash on hand, and even if you’ve lived there for a while, shelling out a few thousand dollars on a project is never easy. Luckily, there are some simple and relatively affordable DIY fencing options that you can use to mark your territory without spending a lot of money.
