Best Fence Company of Jacksonville Continues to Serve an Ever-Growing St. Johns County

St. Johns County is one of the most active development communities in Northeast Florida. It has seen its county population increase by nearly 100,000 residents in the last 15 years. As it stands, four large developments including River Town, Shearwater, Trail Mark and Twin Creeks are currently selling (or will begin selling) homes that will account for more than 11,000 new homes combined. This doesn’t include the quickly-growing Nocatee and various other smaller developments that continue to add homes by the hundreds. This number also doesn’t include many projects still waiting approval such as Steeplechase (965 homes), Cordova Palms (750 homes), Middlebourne (525 homes) and several others still in the preliminary stages of development.

There is still am abundance of land available in St. Johns County and because of its extreme desirability among Jacksonville commuters, the areas listed above and several others in the northwest corner are likely to see much more development. Plenty of people are looking to move to St. Johns County, especially if they are employed in Duval County.

Backyard Pool Safety Laws & Codes

Laws and Codes You Need to Know When Buying a Backyard Pool

Spring is on the horizon and that means summer is not far behind. With the weather heating up, many homeowners finally choose to act on their longstanding plans to install their very own backyard in-ground or above-ground pool A spring installation also means that you can get the full use of your new pool throughout the entire summer when it’s the hottest. But, before you go take the plunge as a pool owner, there is some key information, including laws and regulations, to keep in mind when planning this new addition to your home. Best Fence of Jacksonville is up to date on everything you need to know. Give them a call first to answer your pool and fencing related questions.

B.O.C.A is the national building code for barriers and fencing of swimming pools. The code details several requirements that must be met for outdoor private swimming pools. Two of the key requirements are that a barrier, any fence, dwelling wall or combination of two, must be at least four feet above the ground level of the swimming pool and that access gates to the swimming pool must be equipped to accommodate a locking device that sits on the pool side of the gate, out of a child’s reach.

At Best Fence of Jacksonville we offer a wide selection of high strength, high-quality gate closures and hinges. Our Lokk Latch Pro is a general purpose gravity latch that’s key lockable and can be designed to fit most traditional house keys. For good measure, we recommend the Magna-Latch™, a magnetically-triggered gate latch that never loses power and experiences no mechanical interference offering extreme reliability and child resistance. Some models of the Magna-Latch are also key lockable for added safety.

The Resident Swimming Pool Safety Act requires that all outdoor private swimming pools built after October 1, 2000 meet a strict set of safety measures in order to help reduce drowning or near-drowning incidents. Ultimately, proper supervision is the biggest factor in reducing these incidents but in the case of lapses in supervision the measures outlined in this act are designed to deny, delay or detect unsupervised entry into the swimming pool. A residential swimming pool barrier must meet all of the following requirements: The barrier must be at least four feet high, there may not be any gaps or openings, the barrier must be placed around the perimeter of the pool and it must be far enough away from the water’s edge such that someone cannot fall into the water if they manage to get through the barrier.

The above requirements were set with safety in mind. As a result, failure to equip a new swimming pool with the safety features mentioned previously is considered a second-degree misdemeanor according to Florida law. That being said, it is important that you consult your local pool installation facility and local fencing company such as Best Fence of Jacksonville to ensure that your backyard oasis meets the various codes and regulations.

At Best Fence Company of Jacksonville, we offer the best quality fences and fence components at our Jacksonville fabrication facility. We are able to control the quality of your fencing from the design all the way to the installation. We offer the best prices on our high quality products because we are the actual manufacturers. We are dedicated to working with your county inspectors and home owners association to ensure your fence meets and passes every requirement and inspection. We guarantee approval of your pool fence by county inspectors and your 100 percent satisfaction.

If you’re ready to build the summer backyard oasis of your dreams while resting assured you meet all the requirements, look no further than Best Fence Company of Jacksonville. Visit our website www.bestfencejax.net to see which option best fits you and your dream. Call us now at (904) 268-1638 to schedule your FREE estimate today!

Instant Curb Appeal Ideas to Make Your Home Beautiful & More Attractive to Buyers

Instant Curb Appeal Ideas to Make Your Home Beautiful & More Attractive to Buyers

Looking to increase your curb appeal in order to sell your home? Spring is the beginning of the busiest home-selling season and in turn, home buying season. In most of the U.S., Spring leads to warmer weather, more daylight hours and the motivation of most families to buy a new home before the next school year begins. Buyers are more likely to shop for a new home during this time of the year. With spring being the on season, prices are higher in spring, meaning homeowners can get better valuations from appraisers. Here are some quick maintenance and home repair ideas that will help you get the best value for your home this season.

First and foremost, you may want to consider upgrading railings and fences. These are the first parts of your property that interested buyers are going to see. If you have a fence around your property or railings leading up to the front door, consider painting or replacing them to improve the aesthetic appeal of your front yard. Wood is a common choice, but here in Florida the harsh saltwater environment can cause wood to crack, corrode, pit and swell. Other material, such as Aluminum or Vinyl Fence, from Best Fence Company of Jacksonville would be an excellent improvement to your front yard.

If you use decorations to express your sense of style inside, why not do the same outside? Placing a sculpture or fountain on your front lawn creates an additional focal point for those passing by. Your yard art can be as simple as a rock arrangement to as elegant as a marble statue. Just be careful with your choices—too much yard art can be a distraction from the center piece, your home.

Perhaps the most overlooked areas of the home that can easily increase curb appeal are your windows, specifically window fixtures. Window boxes come in a variety of materials such as wrought iron, wood, copper and PVC. Filled with colorful flowers or greenery, these can add life to your home. Mixing and matching flowers or plants to suit the color scheme of your home offers an easy way to bring color and a charm to your home’s curb appeal.

Your home’s curb appeal is what makes a first impression on everyone. Using one, two or a few of these simple curb appeal improvements can make a lasting impression on potential home buyers. Looking for a fence with a lifetime warranty to add that finishing touch? Best Fence serves many of the finest private homes, residential communities and commercial clients throughout Jacksonville and the surrounding areas. Visit our website www.bestfencejax.net to view our selection of high quality Aluminum and Vinyl fences and see which fence will best accentuate the look and feel of your home.

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.

Cleaning Your Aluminum Fence and Maintaining the Perimeter

When it comes to maintaining our homes, of course, it’s a no brainer. But, what about the fence that surrounds your home and the yard within it? It's not only important to maintain the beauty of your home, but to also maintain exterior, including the landscape and fence. Best Fence Company of Jacksonville is proud to offer quality, durable Ornamental Aluminum Fences to complement your home and yard. Although, aluminum fencing from Best Fence requires little maintenance, we recommend following these easy steps to keep your fence in tip top shape for years to come.

Proper Materials
In order to correctly clean your Aluminum Fence, you must be properly equipped. Several necessary tools to arm yourself with are a water hose, a soft scrub brush, a bucket of soapy water and a tree or hedge trimmer.

Ready to Work?
Cleaning an Aluminum Fence does not require a substantial amount of hard work; it is relatively easy. Cleaning metal fences such as aluminum, steel, and chain link is very simple and does not require much time/effort to complete. Spraying water and using soap should generally do the trick when cleaning your Aluminum Fence, but there may be certain times when a little “elbow grease” is required to finish the job. And that is the reason for having a soft scrub brush.

Haircut Time
Trees, shrubs and hedges can grow within your fence and create form problems with your fence if they are not properly maintained. This is why it is important to regularly trim them back if you notice that they are starting to grow over and within your fence. And besides trimming them to maintain the quality of your fence, trimming your trees, shrubs and hedges help to improve the overall appearance of your yard.

Annually
How often should I clean my Aluminum Fence? Well, the answer for that is going vary from person to person. However, for maximum results, it is recommended that your Aluminum Fence is cleaned at least once a year. However, you can also wash your fence on an as-needed basis. Now when it comes to trimming the accessories in your yard – trees, shrubs and hedges – you will want to assess the situation and maintenance them accordingly. It is warm here in the residential communities of Jacksonville and Nocatee, sometimes even in the winter, so during those warmer months, you will probably have to trim and maintain your yard more than you would if you lived in a cooler area.

Best Fence Company of Jacksonville’s Ornamental Aluminum Fences are maintenance free. They are constructed with heavy wall aluminum extrusions, and finished in polyester powder coating. Best Fence’s Aluminum Fencing finish has been tested in Florida’s hot, humid, high salt environment and surpasses the 3000 hour salt spray test. Our powder coating is twice as thick, twice as hard as baked on enamel finishes, and is much more durable. Your new aluminum fence will look beautiful for years to come. Unfortunately, the only thing your fence can’t do is clean itself. We’ve done our part, it’s time to do yours!

Best Fence Jacksonville works hard to provide you with the Best price, the Best quality product and the Best service you deserve. Best Fence provides a lifetime warranty on products from the manufacturer and 3-year warranties on installation.
