How to choose a secure fence for your home?

May clients delay fencing their property until the final stages of construction, waiting for the right budget. A fence is the finishing touch to your investment – a showcase for your home and garden. Tough often installed last, a well-chosen fence significantly affects the appearance of the entire property. What key considerations should guide the selection of a fence to avoid future regrets?”

First: plan thoughtfully

Mark the exact property boundaries with professional surveyor support. Don’t begin a new chapter in life with disputes over boundaries – nothing disturbs peace more than an invasion of privacy, whether physical or personal.

A precise utility mapping is essential before fence installation to identify the exact locations of electrical and gas lines and protect them from accidental damage.

Property fencing combined with concrete

Take the property’s terrain into careful consideration. Installing a fence on flat ground requires a completely different approach than on sloped terrain. Even if a fence without a concrete base was initially preferred, the site’s characteristics may necessitate an alternative solution.

Backed by more than 35 years of experience, WIŚNIOWSKI provides fencing solutions tailored to every property. Customizing all fence components ensures efficient installation and a cohesive final result.

Second: leverage the expertise of specialists

Many may not realize that the position of your property in relation to the road plays a crucial role during the fence design process. The driveway gate and the wicket are installed on this side of the property, and the remaining fence components, such as panels and posts, are planned around them.

Fence posts with mail slot

A special type of fence post is the so-called MultiBox, a standout product by WIŚNIOWSKI, that integrates a video intercom, a keypad for secure access, and a mailbox. This mailbox function is designed to hold not only standard-sized letters but also packages delivered by couriers.

As an investor, you don’t need to know every technical detail about fence installation – just rely on the expertise of professionals.

Third: choose lasting quality

The primary criterion when choosing a fence should be its durability – that is, its resistance to weather conditions. No garden will impress if, during a garden party, an orange rust stains spoil the view. A stable and long-lasting fence depends, among other things, on the quality of the steel used in its production.  So, how can we verify the quality of a manufacturer’s materials? Let’s take a close look at the warranty terms offered. Particular attention should be given to the 10-year anti-corrosion warranty for WIŚNIOWSKI fences, which use the DUPLEX system. This system provides quadruple protection for the steel: zinc coating, iron phosphating, chromium-free passivation, and a polyester paint finish.

Four: analyse tends

Match  your fence to the architectural character of your property. Experienced manufacturers in the industry offer made-to-measure solutions and a wide selection of design-rich fence panels. Take a look at the most popular garden trends. In recent years, the modern style has consistently topped the garden charts. Simply put, this style features paving stones, low grass, and perennials or ornamental grasses in flowerbeds, and thuja trees planted along the fence line. A perfect complement to this look are fences from the HOME INCLUSIV and MODERN collections by WIŚNIOWSKI, available in exclusive colours from the manufacturer’s custom palette. In modern garden landscapes, colours like anthracite HI ANTHRACITE, light green HI SMOKE GREEN and soft greys, such as HI COMFORT GREY or HI WARM STONE, blend beautifully into the surroundings.

Fifth: prioritise safety

Beyond a solid investment plan, expert support, weather resistance, and design – your fence should first and foremost ensure safety.

This is especially true for driveway gates, where CE certification is essential. It confirms that the product has been properly tested and meets European safety standards. When it comes to safety, there’s no room for compromise. An improperly selected gate can pose a real danger, particularly to its youngest users.
