Why To Trust Us With Your New Fence Installation

June 29, 2017

To us, a fence, a deck, or a shade structure is more than just an accessory for your home. These structures are something special – a way for you to get outside and enjoy your property, to create memories with your friends and family.

Our Products Make Us Happy

We started Future Outdoors with the goal of bringing quality outdoor products to people at an affordable price, but that’s not what drives us. Our goal isn’t just to sell more fences or pergolas. We do what we do because we truly believe our products help people feel better and live better lives.


It might sound corny, but it’s the truth. We think that a patio cover, a quality fence, or a new deck will help you be happier and live a better life. Why?

Enjoy Your Outdoor Spaces

More and more often, it seems like our lives are rushing out one door and in another. When was the last time you sat outside in your backyard and simply enjoyed the weather or chatted with a neighbor as they walked by your front porch? If you’re like most people, it’s been a while.


But by creating a comfortable outdoor space, you’ll suddenly find yourself drawn outdoors. A new deck is an invitation to sit out front with a glass of tea or lemonade. A new fence makes you want to get out and do some gardening or play with your family in the backyard. In short, we see our products as a way to let people enjoy the outdoors from the comfort of their own home.

Obey Fencing Regulations

Every township has its own specific code rules and regulations for fencing, and not knowing what they are isn’t an excuse for doing the job wrong. Your vinyl fence company will probably know the rules for your area, but double-check your fence against the code before it goes up.


If you don’t, you could be forced to tear it all down and redo it on your own dime, plus pay a fine. A non-regulation fence can also affect your neighbor’s property values, leaving them upset.

Respect Your HOA

If your neighborhood has a homeowner’s association, make sure to clear your fencing project with them beforehand. Just like with city codes, you’ll need to either provide the HOA with plans or run the design by them to ensure it fits within their statutes.


If it doesn’t, they might fine you or order you take it down – and your neighbors might also complain about your non-regulation fence. It’s much easier to get the proper clearance first than to deal with all the headaches after.


In addition, there are a few other things you can do that, while not strictly required, are definitely nice gestures to your neighbors and community:

Share Fencing Intents Beforehand

One good idea that will help smooth over any potential fencing disputes is to let them know about your plans to install a new fence before you begin the installation. You don’t necessarily have to show them your plans – the fence is on your property, after all – but it can help if you think your neighbor might be interested in paying for part of it.


However, you should show them where you intend to place the fence. Let them know if there are any property line problems you discovered when you ordered the survey.

Ensure Your Fence Doesn’t Stand Out

A sure way to invite the ire of your neighborhood is to install a fence that looks out-of-place for its surroundings. Even if you personally like a particular fencing style, try to match the look of your neighbors’ houses and fences to keep the neighborhood looking good.


A vinyl fence is a great way to keep your property looking nice season after season since they don’t break down or rot over time. They also come in a variety of colors and styles to match the look of any neighborhood or development.

Install it the Right Way Around

In addition to choosing a fence design that matches the look of your neighborhood. You should also install your fence so that the fence rail (if your design includes one) is on the inside. One benefit of vinyl fencing is that the panels often look the same on both sides, making it easy to get a clean and finished look on both the inside and outside of your fence. With a vinyl fence, there’s no “nice side” to worry about – every side is the nice one!

Why to Hire Professionals to Install Your Vinyl Fence

May 13, 2025
There is plenty of information on the internet about building and installing your own vinyl fence. However, that doesn’t always mean it’s a good idea to do it yourself. There are a few advantages that you get from working with a professional fence installer like Future Outdoors. Advantages of Professional Fence Installation Time Savings One of the biggest advantages of having your fence installed professionally is saving time versus installing it yourself. Fence installations can be tricky and time consuming, especially if you don’t have much experience. However, our experienced fence crew can install a new fence in just a day or two – and you won’t have to do any of the work yourself. Financial Savings Another major advantage of working with a professional fence installer is that you can actually save money. Depending on the type of fence you want to install you will need to buy materials, tools, and hardware such as screws, nails, or brackets. You will also need to factor in the costs of material delivery and the removal of any waste or old fence materials. In contrast, the cost of a professional fence install takes all of these factors into account. Plus, professionals have the tools and equipment they need already, and can buy materials in bulk at a discount. These savings are factored into your costs, so you often end up paying less than you would when you install on your own. Higher Quality Fence installations can be tricky. It’s important to make sure all the posts are set deep enough, totally secure, and standing straight and level. The panels need to be secure, level, and properly lined up. Corner angles must be measured correctly, and gates need be be secure and strong. If you don’t have the necessary skills or experience, it’s likely you could make a mistake that affects the quality of your finished fence. Professional fence installers, on the other hand, do have the necessary skills. They can install your fence quickly and without mistakes, and even guarantee the quality of your new fence with a warranty. In other words, you don’t just get a higher quality fence – you also get peace of mind. Less Stress Along with ensuring a higher quality result, having your fence installed by Future Outdoors also ensures you don’t need to worry about it. Installing your fence yourself can be stressful, especially if you are trying to get it done quickly or do it in your free time. When you get your fence installed, you don’t need to worry about the process and simply get to enjoy the result. No Code Violations Finally, getting your fence installed ensures you won’t suffer from any legal problems. Codes and permits can be big obstacles to DIY fence installations, especially if your home is part of an HOA. You will likely need to provide plans to your local permit office and get the necessary permits for your area. When you work with Future Outdoors to have your fence installed, though, you don’t need to do any of this work. We take care of all the permits for you, and ensure your fence is built according to code.
