The Safest Yard Fences for Children<\/strong><\/h2>\n

To your kids, every square foot of the yard \u2014 from the front door to the fence \u2014 is part of their kingdom. The right fence allows your children to love every inch of their front yard or backyard kingdom without you having to watch them like a hawk.<\/span><\/p>\n

When looking for the best yard fence for your kids, you need to consider the safest fence itself \u2014 as well as what will keep them best protected from the outside world.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n 1.\u00a0Safest Fence Materials for Kids<\/strong> <\/span>\n

Vinyl and aluminum fences are your long-term best yard fences for children<\/strong> (not to mention, the nicest looking). While wooden and wooden-wire fences are good options for some homeowners, over time the wood can splinter and the wire can break off.\u00a0 Both the splintered wood and the wire can pose a risk to children\u2019s curious hands.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, vinyl and aluminum fences<\/a> stay just as smooth and splinter-free as the day they were installed.<\/span><\/p>\n\"Aluminum\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n 2.\u00a0Flat Rail on Aluminum Fences<\/strong> <\/span>\n

If you choose to go with an aluminum fence for your kids, you should opt for a flat rail rather than a spear. Although the spears do add a regal style to your yard d\u00e9cor, they can possibly hurt your children\u2019s hands if they hit them hard. A flat rail aluminum fence still boasts a unique style and is 100% safe.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n 3. A Gate that\u2019s Easy to Tell If It\u2019s Latched<\/strong> <\/span>\n

If you don\u2019t fully close and latch your gate, your kids may take that as an opportunity to play jailbreak and escape into the street. If that\u2019s a concern for you, it helps to have a gate that is easy to tell if it\u2019s latched but harder to actually open. This can be an especially important feature if you live along a busy road \u2014 or if people have the habit of speeding through your neighborhood.<\/span><\/p>\n\"Vinyl\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n 4. A Fence that\u2019s Hard to Climb<\/strong> <\/span>\n

Some kids are climbers and others aren\u2019t. If your children have never met a tree that they didn\u2019t want to scale, this is an important tip for you. Since aluminum and vinyl privacy fences<\/a> are flat surfaces, they don\u2019t have footholds that make climbing possible. This can be an important point when finding the best yard fence for your kids.<\/span><\/p>\n\"Georgetown\n

 <\/p>\n 5. Strong and Big Enough to Keep Them Protected<\/strong> <\/span>\n

While you live in a pretty safe area \u2014 where nothing dangerous happens \u2014 you still want the best yard fence that will keep your kids secure in case your neighborhood ever becomes unsafe. Whether you\u2019d need to keep a wild animal or an intruder out of your yard, you need a fence that\u2019s big enough and strong enough to do the job.<\/span><\/p>\n
