Top Tips for Securing the Boundary of Your Property

Take the right steps to marking out the boundary of your property. Yes, fence and gate installation are great starts, but you also need to make sure that you are taking it that little bit further.

There’s a lot more you need to do to secure the boundary of your property!

Know Where the Property Boundary Is

First of all, you need to actually know where your property boundary is. You’ll need to do a little research to properly uncover it.

Even if you have a rough idea of where it might be from when you bought the property, it is still a good idea to double-check with the city records. All fences and gates must be built on the land that you own, so you need to make sure that you know precisely where that is. 

This is also handy to know just in case you have anything like a river crossing your land. Knowing your rights and responsibilities for something like this will be incredibly important, since you obviously cannot dam or redirect the river.

Get a Good Fence and Gate

Once you have discovered the precise boundary of your property, you can put up the divide to protect it. A good fence works not just as a demarcation of where your land is, but also as a fantastic deterrent against those who would try to intrude. There are lots of options out there for you to explore.

A basic wire fence around most of the property is a good idea, but something nicer like stone or wood around the front might be better. Mixing and matching in this way can mean that you can adequately protect your property while also boosting your curb appeal.

Don’t forget about the gates! A good pair of automatic gates will be the perfect addition to this setup. You will just need to drive up and there will be no need to get out to open the gate – you can just head straight in. 

Be sure to find a company that specializes in automatic gate installation. Electric gate installation can be a little difficult to handle on your own and so should always be left to the experts.

A company like Texas Gate Repair can not only provide installation services, but can also help out with gate repair should something fail. Having a gate repair company that you can trust on hand will be massively helpful when the gate just refuses to open.

Extra Precautions

There are several other precautions that you want to take to ensure that your property is correctly secured. Many people like to invest in motion-activated lights.

If you live in an area with a lot of wildlife, this might not always be the best choice as the lights could be turning on at all hours of the night. However, they can also be a great deterrent if someone does decide to intrude on your property. 

The best placement for them can be by your gates. It’s handy for when you drive home after dark. Put them close to the property itself and next to any outbuildings like garages or barns.

You could also set up a few next to weak points in your fence. Couple this set up with some high-quality cameras.

Also, consider getting guard dogs for an extra level of security. Remember, these are working dogs, not family pets. You need to ensure that they are correctly trained and looked after.
