There is a new spin on the white picket fences surrounding Gig Harbor homes . Privacy, along with security, are increased by a gated fence. At the end of a driveway or onto an existing wall or fence, you can put in a gate controlled by a remote. The gate may be controlled by computer programs, hand-held devices, or even your BlackBerry or Treo.
These kinds of models are not cheap. A DIY model can be bought for roughly $1,200 and a professional, more intricate system will run anywhere from $18,000 to 130,000. Many people feel that these gates are an indication of the increase of fear and apprehension in Americans. Many others feel that they are just the best system of privacy. Either way, those selling fences contend that business is booming.
