Suggestions for Planning Your Project

1. Continue Your Research

You may already have an idea of what you want and like and may have considered styles and materials. This is an important first step and you should continue to reseach the many models available by manufacturers and installers. Whether you’re working independently or with an architect or designer, online catalogs and resources can provide inspiration. While doing this research, it is also prudent to find local installers; visit their sites, read reviews, and confirm which groups are licensed, insured and accredited.

2. Survery Your Surroudings 

Take a look around your area—are there common styles or materials that stand out? Wilton’s communities often feature classic picket fences for front yards, wood privacy fences for backyards, or sleek vinyl options for a clean, modern look. For more expansive properties, split rail and ranch rail are common for front and side yards and deer fence or privacy fence for large backyards.​

3. Tailor to Your Home's Needs

Then consider your home's architectural style, placement on your land, and the purpose of your fence. Do you have a modern or historical home. Do you border homes that may require you to consider greater privacy? Determining how much of your backdrop - or neighbors - you want to see is a primary consideration in fence design. Another item to contemplate is animals. Does your home back up to wooded areas? Our deer fencing will be a good fit. Do you have a dog?  If so, your dog's size has an effect on the height of your fence and picket spacing. 

4. Collaborate with Your Design Engineer

Once you start your intial reivew, you will develop what we jokingly call "fence on the brain." Don't worry though, your fence design engineer has remedies to will help you through the process. Your session with an experieced, and licensed fence design engineer will help build on your initial plan to make your fence or railing vision a reality. Share your ideas and partner with your deisgn engineer. Collaboration produces the best results.

Material & Style Trends in Wilton

Vinyl

Vinyl, also known as PVC, has become a favorite among Wilton homeowners for its durability and design flexibility. Some manufacturers' panels now feature matte finishes and an array of colors to complement any home style. The Victorian picket fence panel, in particular, is a Wilton classic—perfect for front yards.​​

Wood

When considering the wood species options in; cedar, spruce or pine, combined with dozens of models available, choices for your Wilton home are endless. Wood panels also provide the greatest flexibility to trim and contour the panels to hug land grades which are common for Wilton homes. Wood fences are also commonly seen on wall tops around town with the "good neighbor", tongue and groove, cap and trim fence panel being the most prefered privacy wood panel. The most common wood species choice in Wilton is white cedar which is durable and ages to a tanned silver over time. Wood fences are also stained to match home colors and tones.

Metals

For a sleek and durable solution, metal fences are a go-to choice. Black aluminum picket fences are widely used for pool areas and flat properties. Black aluminum picket fences are especially popular around Wilton’s homes with pools and flat properties, while chain link and steel-core black vinyl-coated fences are trusted for dog enclosures. Near wooded areas, we offer deer fencing. which, when installed correctly serves as dog fence and even meets pool-code (learn more about pool code here).  For a more decorative touch, we also offer mixed-media designs, combining wood posts with welded wire panels or black mesh for a modern look.

Bespoke

Wilton homeowners often opt for custom fences to address unique property needs. Whether it’s exotic hardwoods, stainless steel cable railings, or custom-stained wood panels, our bespoke designs offer endless possibilities for personalization. Another bespoke design you will see in town are custom colored wood fence or railing sections that are solid-stained or two-tone finished. Black fence is also a growing trend in town which can be built in all materials for contemporary and modern farmhouse homes in Wilton. With elegance, you can make your home stand out.
