Privacy and security fences aren’t just for gated communities anymore, many Central Florida homes and businesses are taking advantage of the many benefits precast concrete fences, gates, and hardscapes provide.
The American Housing Survey by the Census Bureau shows the overwhelming desire of many Americans and businesses to have some type of wall or gate for security and privacy.
Gated communities are home to over seven million households.

Baby boomers and millenniums both feel security and privacy are of the utmost importance.
In today’s time’s, home and business owners as well as property managers are realizing just how vital it is to keep their employees, tenants, and family safe.
“Fencing and gates, by design, restrict access and therefore provide both a physical and psychological barrier for criminals. Criminals like quick escape routes and don’t want to become trapped behind fences or gates should they be discovered. Many criminals will bypass a gated community for one that is not gated simply because of the restricted access,” according to Crime Doctor,
Precast walls and fences are not only beautiful, they provide protection, security, and define boundary lines. Studies show a decrease in crime for both businesses and homes with a security fence around their property. So much so, that many insurance companies will drastically reduce your insurance rate.
It also increases the value of your property. “On average, privacy fences are 4-9 feet tall. Installing a fence in your backyard for privacy purposes will increase marketability for your home with prospective buyers when selling.” Realty Times.
Having a privacy fence for your home means you won’t be bothered by the neighbors during gathering with family and friends. It also means you won’t have to worry about the safety of your children playing outside or pets running off.
