Home and business owners choose perimeter fences to cover their entire property, highlighting the boundary points. Along with communicating the lines to your property, perimeter fencing establishes privacy, security, and controlled access points. Keeping in pets and livestock while keeping out intruders is another obvious important aspect for many. An added perk though is a perimeter fence also adds value to a home.

What Is a Perimeter Fence?
A perimeter fence encloses a specific area and is the primary defense against theft and vandalism. It delineates a boundary that separates your property from its surroundings. Perimeter fences are typically used to enhance a property’s aesthetics, provide privacy, and increase its security.
How Tall Is a Perimeter Fence?
There is no standard height for perimeter fences. Each city has its own regulations regarding fence heights, so make sure to check with your local city council to ensure you’re following your city’s rules. The height of the perimeter fence is a key distinguishing factor from other fences. A perimeter fence should be at least six feet high, but most range from 8 to 10 feet. In Austin, Texas, you’ll need a permit to build a perimeter taller than 6 feet.
What Is the Difference Between a Perimeter Fence and a Regular Fence?
There are two primary types of fences, privacy fences and perimeter fences. Privacy fencing typically consists of vertical or horizontal boards designed to add privacy from neighbors and pedestrians passing by. Perimeter fencing defines boundaries, often outlining property lines or different sections within a larger area.
What Does a Perimeter Fence Cost?
The cost of a perimeter fence depends on various factors, including location, height, the material used, and the type of perimeter fence.
