A privacy fence has no large gaps between the slats or pickets so that neighbors and passers by don’t see into your property. It should be chosen for height depending on whether passers by are walking by the property itself, in which case it needs to be around head height, or whether it is simply to protect from onlookers in cars in which case it may not need to be so tall.  Even allowing for those requirements however you have a massive choice of privacy fences in different materials that enable you to keep out prying eyes without appearing too foreboding or brutal.  Privacy fencing can be in vinyl, aluminum, or wood which means that the look and feel can be pretty much whatever you like to fit in with the style of your home or  your neighborhood.  Talk to  Master Fencing Wilmington NC today about choosing a fence to close off your home to prying eyes without making it off putting for family and friends.
