If you are thinking about the security of your home then you may not consider fencing, but this can actually be a great first line of defence. Having fencing around your property can mean that there is another physical barrier that a criminal will have to content with before they are able to get in and get items out of your home. They are likely to choose houses that they can make a quick getaway from and this may not be yours if you have high fencing.
There are rules and regulations about how high the fencing can be when situated on the kerb side, so be sure to check this first, but having a high fence securing the perimeter will help add another level of security.
You may decide that you are going to have metal fencing and security gates that you can open and close when you want to leave. If you have a driveway and park your car on the drive then you may even opt for security gates that can only be opened with a special fob. These gates can often be made to fit any size driveway opening and can not only add security but also add kerbside appeal.
