4 Ways Fencing Protects Your Assets

fencing4-1

In Southwest Australia fencing is a well-used element in many properties. Particularly for farm properties and those in bushland, rural fencing plays a significant role. You may recognise the importance of fencing for your property, but have you ever considered how strongly it protects your assets? Fencing does more than just demarcate where your land begins and ends, it actually helps keep the things you value safe and secure.

Beyond Fencing is a premier fencing specialist serving Bunbury, Bridgetown and surrounds. From design to installation to maintenance and more, we supply what you need for your property. In short, we know fencing. Today we present 4 vital ways that fencing protects your assets.

  1. Fences limit your vulnerability.

The most obvious use of fencing for many property owners is to prevent unauthorised entry onto your land. But it goes even further than that. Fences minimise your vulnerability. They are the prime deterrent for any human or animal who may wander onto or deliberately breach your property boundaries. Security fencing may not stop fully determined intruders, but it slows down and deters them, (as well as delays or stops vehicles from entering) and ultimately decreases your vulnerability to unwanted entrants.

  1. Fencing keeps your livestock and animals safe.

If you reside in rural Australia, cattle fences, shed fencing, and similar fence structures perform a vital role for the safety of your livestock and other animals. (In suburban areas, fencing can protect your domestic animals as well). Your cattle, horses, sheep, and other livestock may be a vastly significant asset to your livelihood. It is therefore of great importance to ensure they are kept safely where they should be. Rural fencing keeps your animals away from the road and limits their wandering within your set boundaries. This makes it easier for you to keep track of your livestock and still gives them the freedom and room to roam. It is vital to check these fences regularly to keep them in top shape. Beyond Fencing can repair or examine your existing fencing to ascertain its safety standards and maintain good conditions.

  1. Fences may help you avoid legal battles regarding property.

Though such an occurrence may be unlikely for most Australians, fencing can help you to maintain a strong legal hold on your land. Properties have defined boundaries–and a land survey can help to thoroughly determine the exact location of these limits–but fencing can keep them clear. Installing appropriate fencing can prevent claims of adverse possession (when a person without a legal claim to land maintains longstanding use of a particular area and files to claim ownership of that area). Other issues or boundary disputes with adjoining properties can also be avoided with the right fencing. As they say, “good fences make good neighbours.” To avoid the hassle and headache, why not opt for the right fencing, especially when you can find affordable and high quality options via Beyond Fencing Solutions.

  1. Fencing adds value to your property.

Many real estate agents and property appraisers support the notion that security fences or rural fencing can help to boost your property value. Should you choose to sell your land and your home in the future, the presence of fencing is likely to be seen as a great advantage, making your property more attractive to potential buyers. Not only does the existence of fences provide the security that many property owners are seeking, but it makes it easier for new livestock owners to see your land as ideally suited to their needs.
