If you have a fence around your yard, you might think that's all the fencing you need. That's not the case though. Perimeter fencing does safeguard your property and identify property lines, but it can also do so much more for your property. If you're not sure where you need fencing, read the list provided below. Here are four important places to install fencing in your yard. 

Vegetable Gardens

If you have vegetable gardens on your property, it's time to call a fencing contractor. You might not know this, but fencing can help you maintain your vegetable gardens. Fencing helps to keep your kids and pets out of the garden. But, fencing also keeps pests out of your garden. This is especially true where rabbits are concerned. Rabbits can destroy your vegetable gardens. If they're left alone long enough, they'll eat your vegetables before you can start picking. That's where fencing comes into the picture. The right fencing keeps rabbits away from your vegetables. 

Swimming Pools

If you have a swimming pool in your yard, you need more than perimeter fencing around your home. This is especially important if your swimming pool is accessible from the house. If it is, you need to talk to a fencing contractor about security fencing. When you install security fencing around your pool, you protect against accidental drownings. If you don't have small children in your home, you might not think you need security fencing around the pool. That's not the case though. Guests who come to your home might bring young children with them. Not only that, but there might be young children in your neighborhood. Security fencing helps protect those children, as well. 

Storage Areas

If you have designated storage areas on your property, now's the time to install fencing. Fencing is especially beneficial when storing recreational vehicles or boats on your property. Those items are targets for thieves. Fencing your storage areas will help to protect your investments. You can enhance security by adding locks and security lighting to your storage areas. 

Playground

If you've built a playground for your children, don't forget about the fencing. Playground fencing helps keep your children safe while they're playing outside. Playground fencing keeps your children away from areas where hazardous items might be. This could include lawn equipment or wood piles. If you have dogs, fencing also helps keep animal waste away from the play area.
