Fence styles that help improve feng shui
| Characteristics that enhance feng shui | Details |
|---|---|
| Fences and gates must be transparent. | It would be great if 50% of the fenced area could be transparent. If the fence is a solid wall, it can be used as a ventilation hole on top. However, do not drill holes in the wall because it is believed that it will not be able to keep your wealth, it will lack stability, and thieves will be able to easily see inside the house. |
| The gate should not be directly in line with the house door or electric pole, and should not be too close together. | If the gate is already aligned with the house door, you can add a porch to the front of the house to provide shade and store energy. If there are electric poles, you can plant trees in that area. |
| No debes permitir que tu cerca se decolore. | Debe estar recién pintado y bien iluminado por la noche. |
| The gate must not be higher than the wall. | If there are two doors on each side, the left door should be larger than the right door. The wall size should not be too high or too low (between 1.4 and 2 meters). |
| If there is a large door, you should not build two small doors on each side. | But create it on one side only, which is the left-facing side. |
| Plant trees as a fence | Planting trees as a fence in Feng Shui is considered auspicious because it is a natural fence. |
Fencing Laws That Shouldn’t Be Overlooked
From the above, we know the information for choosing a home fence from the appropriate materials, good characteristics, and matching your style. Don’t forget to pay attention to “laws regarding home fences” as well to prevent disputes with neighbors.
1. The fence must not encroach on the property line that belongs to the owner.
In defining the land area, it means the underground and the air area. Therefore, when building an underground fence base, the fence posts should not be tilted to encroach on your land. Because if there is a lawsuit from a neighbor, it may be illegal. But if there is a joint fence with a neighbor, divide the area for building the fence and pay half each.
2. The fence should not be higher than 3 meters.
If the fence is next to a public road, the fence must not be higher than 3 meters. If you want to build it higher than 3 meters, you must leave a distance from the property boundary of not less than the height of the fence to be built.
3. Fences located at the corner of a road must have a 135-degree angle.
If your house is located on a corner of a road with a width of more than 3 meters, the corner must be trimmed to a distance of not less than 4 meters and the angle must not exceed 135 degrees, making an equal angle with the public road.
4. Requesting permission to build a fence
Building a fence next to a road or public area requires permission every time, as a fence is considered a type of structure. However, in the case of building a fence between private or private land, permission is not required.
You will see that in building a fence each time, in addition to finding a fence that is economical and in line with your preferences or purposes of use, many things should not be overlooked, such as Feng Shui principles or even fence laws, for the fence to help make the house more livable, proportional, and a safe place for the family to live together happily.
