Hello everyone! Kakeru Koumuten Co., Ltd. is here!
Among exteriors, garden fences are relatively popular.
Many of you reading this article may be
thinking, “I want to install a fence at home.”
There are likely many people considering this.
In this article, we will explain in detail the main functions of garden fences and the typical types and cost estimates.
目次
What functions do garden fences have?
Garden fences have the following functions:
・They can maintain a beautiful appearance
・They provide privacy from the surroundings
・They serve as a boundary with neighboring properties
These are some of the functions they offer.
Some may think,
“Isn’t a fence somewhat pointless?”
However, there is a significant difference in atmosphere and image between homes with fences and those without.
If you are considering measures for crime prevention, privacy protection, or maintaining the appearance of your home, please consider installing a fence.
Characteristics and cost estimates of garden fences by material
Next, we will explain in detail the characteristics and cost estimates of garden fences by material.
Aluminum Fence
An aluminum fence offers a wide variety and is popular among many people.
Additionally,
・Strong against wind and rain
・High durability
These features make it ideal for those who think,
“I want a stylish and sturdy fence.”
Aluminum fences typically cost around 10,000 to 30,000 yen per meter, and considering the benefits and functionality, they offer great cost performance.
Wood Grain Fence
The wood grain fence is characterized by its low cost and ease of installation, even for DIY projects.
Additionally, installing a wood grain fence can create a warm atmosphere.
Wood grain fences often cost around 10,000 to 25,000 yen per meter, but they tend to be less durable and require regular maintenance, which may lead some contractors not to offer them.
Steel Mesh Fence
For those who are particular about property lines and security measures, the steel mesh fence is recommended.
The price range is often around 5,000 to 10,000 yen per meter, making it ideal for those who want to focus solely on functionality.
However, please note that it does not provide privacy screening.
Cast Iron Fence
If you want to prioritize design, we recommend cast iron fences.
This fence excels in:
・Boundary lines
・Security measures
・Durability
・Aesthetic appeal
However, due to its excellent functionality, the price range is often around 20,000 to 27,000 yen per meter, so be sure to discuss your budget thoroughly.
Bamboo Fence
Finally, we have the bamboo fence.
The bamboo fence excels in:
・Durability
・Ease of maintenance
With a price range of 15,000 to 30,000 yen per meter, it is ideal for those who are cost-conscious.
How to Choose an Exterior Fence?
Next, we will explain in detail the points to consider when choosing an exterior fence.
Pay Attention to Height
When selecting an exterior fence, it is important to pay attention to the height.
For example, if the purpose is for privacy or concealment, a height of 180 to 200 centimeters will be necessary.
On the other hand, if you desire it to serve as a boundary line, there is no need to make it extremely high; a standard size will suffice.
Pay attention to color
When choosing an exterior fence, it is important to pay attention to the color as well.
If you do not consider the color, it may lead to a sense of oppression or create a dark atmosphere for the entire house.
To avoid such troubles, it is essential to carefully check the surrounding scenery, the colors of nearby houses, and their designs before deciding on the color of the fence.
Consider ventilation as well
If privacy protection is a priority, it is necessary to adopt a fence with minimal gaps.
However, installing a fence with few gaps around the house may lead to poor airflow and sunlight.
Shutting out the view from the surroundings at the expense of the internal environment defeats the purpose, so it is advisable to carefully consider ventilation and sunlight as well.
Emphasizing design and style is even better
When choosing the material for the fence, while it is important to focus on functionality,
it is also essential to consider whether it harmonizes with the design of the house and garden.
If you focus solely on functionality, there is a high possibility that the finish will appear unnatural, so be cautious.
Can exterior fences be installed DIY?
It is not impossible to install an exterior fence as a DIY project.
In some cases, you may be able to reduce costs compared to hiring a contractor.
However, installing a fence requires specialized knowledge and skills, and a single mistake can significantly impact your neighbor’s property.
Additionally, there are risks of personal injury or collapse, so if you want to prioritize quality, it is better to hire a contractor.
Conclusion
Exterior fences serve various roles, including maintaining appearance, enhancing security, and protecting privacy.
However, the expected effects and costs can vary depending on the type of exterior, so you must check in advance and choose a fence that matches the atmosphere and image of your home.
“I can’t decide on my own”
“I would like a professional to take a look”
