Well, two of the four have dogs, two have younger kids, and one is for sale and empty. So 3 out of the 4 have a desire for fences, I'd guess.

What you do have to consider though is if it will be higher than 6 feet. If so, you may need a building permit and/or the permission of the local planning department.

some municipalities require a permit for ANY fence
