Type of fence

[elena]

Hello Cecil & Robert: You've heard the expression "good fences make good neighbors"? We need a good fence not only to define and enhance our property, but for child safety and to serve as insulation against street traffic noise. We are installing new windows so that will help reduce the noise alot but I really want a stone fence in front of the property (need earth type fence). My husband does not think it's practical. I know the chinese don't approve of white picket fences or iron bars fence. What kind of fence do you recommend for this situation. Thank you.

Dear Elena,
I will get back on this in more detail.
Presently, avoid a fence that looks like the attached.
As you correctly mentioned, good fence is nice to have.
Fences that e.g. use wrought iron i.e. squarish or roundish bars are good. They are equally good e.g. if an arrow head design is pointed upwards.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil
