Many backyard fence installations cover the perimeter of the backyard and enclose the whole area. Along with the standard fence installation, there are multiple supplemental fence options for your home.

The extra fences may create new areas, provide extra enclosures, and help with daily routines. Learn about various ways a supplemental fence may compliment your backyard area and provide different ways to use the space.

Add a fence around a patio area to enclose the area and help the patio feel like an extension of the home. The whole area does not need to be fenced off. You could choose to have two or three fence panels with a large opening to the rest of the backyard.

The fenced-in patio area allows you to set up patio furniture or a grilling area. The fence will provide extra privacy and closed off section makes the area feel cozy and comfortable.

For extended parts of the patio, you may even choose to install a shorter fence with a gate. The closed off area allows you to add a set design to your patio as opposed to leaving it open.

You have the option of selecting a shorter fence with more decorative features and aesthetic appeal. A fenced-in patio could line up all around a specific patio areas including pavers, stone, or wooden decks.

Another area you may want to enclose in your backyard is a garden. Provide fencing to create a contained garden area that does not grow out of control or spread too far in the yard. The fence material may be an iron or steel design which plants and vines could naturally grow around.

Ornamental fence designs help add to the visuals and could even match any type of garden lawn art you may on display. For example, if you have small statues in a garden, then a metal fence will match the statues and have a nice look to the whole garden.

Garden fences may also help keep children and dogs out of the garden so flowers, vegetables, or fruit is not destroyed during rambunctious play.

Dogs may love to run around a whole backyard, but there are some things you'll want to limit dogs from doing. With a fence installation, you have the option of installing a dog runner. A dog runner is a small enclosure where dogs can run, play, relax, and dig.

Instead of having a dog run freely around the whole yard and possibly destroy items, keep the canines to one specific area. A dog runner may be ideal if you have guests over and still want the dog to enjoy the outdoors. The guests can still enjoy your backyard and you do not have to worry about a dog bothering a visitor or invading their physical space.

For young children, a whole backyard may be way too big of a space to monitor them on a daily basis. Allow children to play and enjoy the outdoors with a fenced-in play area. The play area could be half the backyard or a specific section which includes a swing-set or another type of recreational equipment.

The fenced-in area may even be equipped with a gate that includes a child safety lock like a drop rod lock. The lock will prevent the child from getting in or out of the area without the help of a parent. With a child's play area, you have the ability to trust your child is safe while you tend the garden, grill for dinner, or perform other backyard tasks.
