Adding a lattice extension to the top of your fence is an easy way to increase the privacy and deter climbing. Planting fast-growing shrubs along the fence line also helps.

Vinyl and aluminum fences require very little maintenance. Wood fences should be sealed/stained every 2-3 years. Inspect regularly for damage from weather or lawn equipment.
