This white vinyl fence installation encloses the whole back of a newer two story home in Orlando. The fence starts at one corner of the house, runs down the side yard, crosses the back, and returns up the other side to a walk gate. Every foot of the yard sits inside it. The homes on both sides are close, so the side runs are long and narrow. Each run starts tight against the stucco at the corner of the house. From the patio the fence looks planned with the home, not tacked on later.
Fully enclosed yards are one of the most common jobs we build in the newer subdivisions around Orlando. Straightline Fence has been doing them since 2012, with crews based in St. Cloud and white vinyl kept in stock in our yard. Call (407) 593-1888 and we will walk your lot.
Why fence the side yards and not just the back?
Because a yard with an open side is not really enclosed. A dog or a toddler finds the gap fast.
A back fence alone leaves two open corridors running to the front of the house. Closing both side yards turns the back into one secure space with a single way in. That is what most families with dogs or young kids are after, and it is usually what a pool barrier needs as well.
Side yards on newer Orlando lots are tight, often just a few strides between your wall and the neighbor's. The crew sets the fence close to the property line so you keep as much usable grass as possible. Then the panels run straight and level along the house, which makes a narrow strip feel tidier than it is. Before the first hole, Sunshine 811 marks the buried lines. On a newer lot those lines often run right down the side yard. Our vinyl fence installation page shows the panel styles and colors we stock for jobs like this.
Where should the gate go on a fully enclosed yard?
Where you already walk, which is usually the side of the house nearest the trash cans.
Here the walk gate sits at the far end of one side yard, set back from the front of the house. It is the route the owners already used to wheel the cans out to the street, so nothing about their routine changed. The gate is hung on black hinges with a latch that catches when it swings shut. On an enclosed yard that self latching action matters. A gate that has to be pushed closed is a gate left open.
Some owners want a second gate on the other side, or a wider double gate for a riding mower or a small trailer. Decide before the posts go in. Adding a gate later means cutting into a finished run and resetting a post. Gate posts also take more concrete than line posts, because they carry the swing every day. Our fence company in Orlando page covers how permits and HOA rules work across the city.
Should you plant trees before or after the fence goes in?
After, if you can wait. If the tree is already in, give the crew a heads up so they can work around it.
There is a young staked tree in the back corner of this yard, a few feet off the fence line. It was in the ground before the crew showed up, so they worked around it. Post holes near a new tree have to be placed so they miss the root ball, and the crew keeps panels and concrete off the fresh mulch. That is easy with notice and annoying without it.
Think about the tree in ten years, too. A canopy that grows over the fence drops leaves on the top rail and makes the fence harder to clean, so plant with some room. Vinyl never needs paint, but the occasional rinse keeps it bright white, and you want to reach the panels to do it. A yard like this usually takes two days on site, posts the first day and panels once the concrete sets. To get a number on yours, schedule a free estimate or call (407) 593-1888.
