Gates, Gates and More Gates

Best Fence Company of Jacksonville has a variety of high quality, durable gates. Best Fence’s aluminum walk gates are constructed on 2” welded frames and are available in several colors: black, white, Florida bronze, light bronze, green and beige. Our gates are designed to match our fences at Best Fence, but they can also be tailored to match an existing fence that you already have. Either way, Best Fence has a gate for you. Let’s take a look at the gates we offer.

Ascot Style -

At Best Fence Company of Jacksonville we offer three styles of Ascot Gates: Arched 3-Rail Ascot Featuring Rings Walk Gate, 2-Rail Ascot Style Walk Gate and 3-Rail Ascot Style Arched Gate.
 
1. Arched 3-Rail Ascot Featuring Rings Walk Gate:
The Arched 3-Rail Ascot Featuring Rings Walk Gate is a beautiful touch and addition to any fence. As seen here, it can go with an already existing fence – this incredible brick fence – or it is always a great match with one of Best Fence’s 3-Rail Ascots.


2. 2-Rail Ascot Style Walk Gate:
Our 2-Rail Ascot Style Walk Gate offers a much simpler style. It is a perfect pair with our 2-Rail Ascot Fence. The white is an amazing touch for this gate and reminds us that the simpler things in life are often the best.


3. 3-Rail Ascot Style Arched Gate:
Our final gate from the Ascot family is our 3-Rail Ascot Style Arched Gate. Similar to our 3-Rail Ascot Featuring Rings, this gate is in perfect unison when it is constructed with a 3-Rail Ascot Fence. This gate is slightly less flashy than our 3-Rail with Rings, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t the perfect fit for your home. This gate offers a consistency with the pattern of our 3-Rail Ascot, and the arch provides the perfect amount of kick to make you say “wow” every time you glance over at it.  


Arched Double Swing Style -

Best Fence Jacksonville offers two styles of Arched Double Swing Gates: Arched Double Swing Gate with Rings and Quad Finials and Arched Double Swing Welded U-Frame Estate Gate.

1. Arched Double Swing Gate with Rings and Quad Finials:
The Arched Double Swing Gate with Rings and Quad Finials is a gate that means business. This gate is the king of kings. It is tall. It is wide. It is sturdy. It is durable. It is everything that a homeowner could possibly want in a gate. The Quad Finials provide a great touch, especially when constructed with contrasting colors to the gate as shown here. The rings at the bottom of the gate create a strong, artistic finish as well. This is the gate that simply has it all.

 

2. Arched Double Swing Welded U-Frame Estate Gate:
Our Arched Double Swing Welded U-Frame Estate Gate is everything you need in a gate and more. It doesn’t have some of the bells and whistles that its sister gate has, but it’s not supposed to. It does; however, provide the same important benefits. This is a great gate and when coupled with the right fence, it can truly be a match made in heaven for any home over.



Arched Single Swing Estate Gate with Ring and Opener -

1. Arched Single Swing Estate Gate with Ring and Opener:
This gate swings open form its side, unlike a double swing gate which opens from the center. The rings on this gate are located at the top which serve as a very eye-appealing feature to viewers. Our Arched Single Swing Estate Gate is a gate that can easily adapt to the architecture of any home.



Belmont Style Walk Gate with Triad Finials -

1. Belmont Style Walk Gate with Triad Finials:
Our Belmont with Triad Finials Gate pairs perfectly with our 3-Rail Belmont Fence. The Triad Finials create wonderful accents along the top on the gate. When the gate and fence are constructed together, the finished product is a masterpiece of consistency. While the Belmont looks stunning in any color, it just seems to take on a personality of its own when powder coated in a dark color.

Puppy Picket Fences: Keeping Man's Best Friend at Home:


Family means everything right? When we think of family, what comes to mind? We think of mom, dad, grandma, grandpa, our siblings, heck, even our closest friends! So, what about man's best furry friend? Aren't they family too? We want to ensure that we are doing our very best as pet owners to keep our pups happy, healthy and protected, and what better way than a fenced in backyard? Best Fence of Jacksonville offers the ultimate solution to keeping your furry companion close to home and in plain sight with a 4-Rail Puppy Picket Ornamental Aluminum Fence. Best Fence is proud to service the areas of Nocatee, Palencia, Ponte Vedra, Durbin Creek and surrounding neighborhoods  to design the perfect outdoor retreat to keep you pooch happy and your mind at ease. Visit BestFenceJax.net

1. Keeping Your Pets In:
One of the most obvious benefits of a Puppy Picket Fence from Best Fence is keeping your dog close to home without the worry of losing track of them. The 4-Rail Puppy Picket Ornamental Aluminum Fence is designed to keep your K-9 inside the perimeter of your yard with its four horizontal rails and added vertical railing towards the bottom (best for small dogs).  The design helps to prevent your pet from escaping between the bars, while keeping other unwanted animals out.

2. Keeping Other Animals Out:
While it's necessary to keep your canine within the grounds of your home, it's just as important to keep unwanted critters out. Intruders can wreak havoc to your yard, garden, house and even your pets. This is why Best Fence of Jacksonville's 4-Rail Puppy Picket Ornamental Aluminum Fence not only acts as a shield for your dog, but also as a barrier for keeping curious critters out.

3. High Quality:
When it comes to our puppies and pets, we will settle for nothing less than the best. Best Fence's Puppy Picket Fence is maintenance free and constructed with heavy aluminum extrusions, and finished in polyester powder coating. Our powder coating is twice as thick and twice as hard as baked on enamel finishes with much greater durability. The strength of our aluminum fencing is best for those pups that can't seem to stay put.

4. Warranties and Guarantees:
Best Fence understands how important your pet is to you and your family, and that's why we have designed the 4-Rail Puppy Picket Ornamental Aluminum Fence. Suitable for generations to come, your pet will love their new fenced in backyard and play area, and you'll love our 3-year warranty on installation, and our lifetime warranty on products from the manufacturer.

Can a Fence Increase my Property Value?


It’s often up for debate whether adding a fence to your home will increase the property value. Well, we have great news for you. Fencing can indeed add value to your home by offering a variety of uses to a multitude of potential buyers. Keep reading to see why installing a fence is a great investment.
Potential home buyers see a fence as adding safety to a home. Keeping pets and children separated from the street is worth a lot for some buyers. Even if your house is not huge, a beautifully maintained, fenced in backyard can be perceived as added living space giving your house the feeling of being larger even without actual square-footage. These little things can make buyers feel like your house is worth what you are asking for it, whether or not it actually increases the appraised value of your house.

It might actually be more important to look at the problems associated with not having a fence. Since many people looking to buy a house have kids or pets, without a fence you could lose those potential buyers. Those who are interested in buying you house might offer less than asking price to make up for the money they will need to spend installing a fence. According to U.S. News, not having a fence can knock off up to 10 percent of your home’s value.

More good news is that according to RealtyTimes.com, some fences can profit up to 50 percent! This is not always the case but shows that fencing can be profitable. The quality of both the fence material along with the quality of the installation can be the biggest factors for determining how much the fence is worth.

When choosing to add a fence to your home consider the style of fencing throughout your neighborhood. In most cases it is better to stick to the rest to the neighborhood to avoid making your fence standing out in a negative way. If you live in a neighborhood where everyone has high quality, privacy fences, adding a chain link fence will not do much to increase your property value.


One of the biggest things a fence adds to a home is in the aesthetic as well as a potential buyer’s first impression. Even if it does not add a significant amount of monetary value to your home, it can help sell your house faster. If you are not looking to sell your house right now, installing a vinyl or aluminum fence with the help of experts at Best Fence of Jacksonville can give you the benefits of having a fence now. Since these types of fences are long-lasting and very low maintenance they will be just like new whenever you’re ready to sell your house!

When is the Best Time to Install a Fence?


With summer winding down, you may have thought you missed your chance to install a beautiful new fence from Best Fence of Jacksonville. Actually, fall might even be a better time to buy a fence. Keep reading to find out why!

Most people start thinking about buying a fence when the weather begins to warm up in the spring or summer. Although, this may seem like the best idea, warmer weather can lead to higher costs and longer wait times for installation due to the high volume of customers. Because Jacksonville’s year-round mild climate is generally warm, it might be more cost effective to wait until fall or winter to install a fence.

In places that get colder than Jacksonville, fence installation can be very difficult in the winter. When the temperature drops below 25 degrees for a long period of time, the frozen ground makes digging holes for the posts challenging.

Fortunately, Jacksonville residents don’t have to worry too much about the freezing cold weather and snow. During the spring and summer months, majority of fencing companies see a spike in demand for fence installations, possibly increasing the wait time for your fence to go in. Another perk about waiting until the cooler months is that you get to work more closely with your professional fence specialist. This allows you, the homeowner, to work more closely with your fence specialist to ensure your fence meets the needs and requirements for your home.

Being that we are Floridians, it certainly isn’t necessary to wait until fall or winter to start your fencing project. Best Fence of Jacksonville can install fencing any time during the year. Don’t think you missed your opportunity to have an aluminum or vinyl fence installed this year. Start your project now and enjoy it all year long! Visit BestFenceJax.net for a FREE estimate.

DIY Fence Installation Mistakes

Installing a fence may appear to be a simple task, however, it's important to contact a professional such as Best Fence to properly install your fence to avoid running into many mistakes when ascending the walls around the yard. Below are some of the most common fence installation mistakes that homeowners make.

Planning
Many who try to install a fence on their own refrain from extensive planning and jump right into the job. Before you can start digging and placing posts, a solid strategy and plan needs to be prepared. Without one, your project will likely fail.

Property Lines
Believe it or not, many homeowners have no clue exactly where their property line begins and ends. As a result, this can lead to costly fines and fees when a fence has crossed into a neighbor’s yard or even public property. Be sure to request for a survey of your property line for precise boundaries.

Zoning Laws
Ornamental Aluminum
You can’t just build a fence anywhere. Sometimes there are boundary and height requirements for certain properties. Some may allow a fence right on the property line, while others require an offset. In addition to zoning laws, be sure to check your local Homeowner’s Association guidelines. If the fence is going to be installed around your pool it must adhere to local or state safety codes.

Sunshine 811
Always call Sunshine 811 before you dig. Most fences require one third of their height underground. Fence posts on some fences need to be a minimum of 30 inches deep. When digging that deep, you run the risk of hitting underground pipes or wires. So, to avoid that risk, make the call before you dig.

Measure
Measure the fence line at least twice. A precise measurement will save you time and money in the long run. You will know exactly how much material you will need and where your fence posts will be set. This is the most important planning aspect.

Rather than taking the risk of being fined, or overstepping your property boundaries, save the hassle and call Best Fence of Jacksonville. Best Fence offers the best quality materials, pricing value and always meets code requirements.

Make Your Back Yard Pool Ready for Summer!



With summer right around the corner, it is the perfect time to start thinking about having a pool installed at your new or existing home. Adding a pool to your backyard design increases the value of your home, adds a sense of serenity and of course plenty of fun for the whole family. Since building a pool is a large job, we've provided some tips and information to keep in mind when planning for the addition.
First and foremost, there are laws and regulations that must be met before your pool can be installed. One is the national building code for pool barriers called B.O.C.A.,  while the other is the Residential Swimming Pool Safety Act. The Residential Swimming Pool Safety Act law requires Florida homeowners to take certain safety precautions with swimming pools. It was created to reduce the number of drowning fatalities in the state, so it is a serious matter.

The leading requirement is a fence or barrier around the pool. The Act states that all outdoor swimming pools must have a 4-foot fence or other barrier around the outer perimeter of the pool, with no gaps or breaks in coverage. The fence needs to be a suitable distance away from the pool’s edge. The entry through the barrier (gate) must open outward and have a self-closing and self-locking device that is out of a child’s reach.

Don’t take this lightly. If you fail to install a fence or safety barrier, it is considered a second-degree misdemeanor under Florida law. Do not hesitate to consult with your local fencing company such as Best Fence of Jacksonville, if you have plans to build a pool in the near future.
Now we've got the laws down, it's time to mastermind your dream pool's design and the fencing that will surround it. You can choose from many styles of aluminum pool fence engineered to meet and exceed national pool codes including B.O.C.A., while enhancing your landscape and creating the safety barrier required to pass inspection. The design options are endless with decorative fence post caps or arched gates for a unique addition to your outdoor living space.

Best Fence of Jacksonville is dedicated to providing each client with the best fence and value for your individual property. They will coordinate your fence installation with your builder, pool company and other contractors for your convenience. Your decorative pool fence is guaranteed to pass inspection and meet all code requirements.

Increase the Curb Appeal of Your Home


Many homeowners struggle to check off their to-do list when it comes to home improvement, but there are a few time-friendly renovations you can tackle to give your home a fresh look. Here are a few weekend projects you can do to increase your home's curb appeal.

Clean. This will be one of the cheapest tasks that you can do to brighten up the appearance of your home. You can either borrow or rent a pressure washer for this task. Be sure to hit the siding, front porch, walkway, driveway, sidewalk, etc.


Fencing. Adding a fence to your landscape can add beauty and value to your home without breaking the bank. Best Fence of Jacksonville offers an array of fencing options to fit your particular needs. Choose from Ornamental Vinyl, Ornamental Aluminum or Ornamental Garden fences and products for those with a green thumb. Step out of the ordinary with a custom built fence for your home by Best Fence!

Paint. There's nothing like a fresh coat of paint to give life back to your home. Painting the whole house can be costly, so for a cheap but effective change, paint the trim, deck or front door instead. These minor changes can be very eye-catching especially if you decide to go with a brighter color.

Landscape. It may be time to mow the lawn. In addition to mowing the lawn you can go the extra mile and pick all the weeds around your property. Next prune and trim your plants and bushes to maintain an aesthetic shape. Try utilizing fertilizer for your lawn. It can keep it greener and healthier than ever. You may even decide to add some extra color to complement your home by planting some seasonal flowers. This will indeed help your home stand out from the others.

Decorate. Create an inviting space by adding furniture, art pieces, a water feature, or even an arch entryway. Even installing an elegant pathway that leads to your door can add that extra allurement to your home. Perhaps an ornamental fence is what your house has been lacking. BestFenceJax.Net

Lighting. Consider adding light fixtures to put your home in the spotlight. If you have a pathway leading to your door, try lining it with solar path lights. Lanterns can complement a front deck well or a light post by the street can be a distinguishing piece. You can get creative and craft your on lights, there are plenty of projects for lighting on Pinterest.

Upgrade Your Backyard Without Breaking the Bank



If you are interested in upgrading your backyard in a cost-effective way, we've got some tips to help you transform your dream yard into a reality, without breaking the bank!

Creating designated spaces should be the first plan of action. Set aside space for a cooking area, play area, dining area, or lounge area. Dividing the yard up this way can be aesthetically pleasing. A storage shed is also a good option to keep toys and tools out of sight when not in use.

Adding a path using crushed rock or pavers can give a finished look to a disorderly yard. Keep the path clear and border it with plants, bushes, and shrubs for a beautiful green touch.

           If gardening isn't your thing, try adding a solid concrete patio. Too plain? Try throwing on a masonry stain to the surface of the concrete. Have fun with it by choosing a non-traditional pattern, or for a more elegant look, lay slate tile on top of the concrete slab.

          Add a trellis to your yard. A trellis can add an architectural focal point. Use one for the entrance to a designated area of the yard. And for a more rustic look, add a climbing plant or vine.

         Is your yard to flat? Give it some depth and dimension by adding a pergola for shade and height. You can even add large boulders to give the yard a more natural feel. Arrange the boulders separately or in clusters and viola! Instantly beautiful yard!

        So, as you can see, there are many options for creating a yard you can enjoy without emptying your wallet. With a little imagination and some spare time, you can transform your yard into a relaxing oasis you'll love for years to come.
