A compound wall serves to demarcate the site, protect one's property, ensure privacy and enhance aesthetic appeal. The most important reason for having a fence is security. Not only does a fence prevent encroachers from moving into your property but also effectively restricts entry into your space. Most city houses are independent units and therefore invariably have their compound walls.
Fencing t ensures privacy to the residents. Whether it is a 12 ft compound wall further reinforced by a chain link fence or a screen wall within the property that restricts access to certain spaces such as swimming pool and party areas, the height and location of these structures are decided on the basis of the privacy needs of the resident.
The most commonly used fencing option is the compound wall made of concrete. Other options include timber, picket fences that are also wood-based, wrought iron fences and natural hedges. The best designs combine these options, though the guiding rule is not to deviate too far from the base material used in the construction of the building. For example, a timber reinforced gate or the use of timber over the compound wall, which has risen to a certain height, is a different option.
A brick and mortar wall allows private properties to screen themselves from the road, in terms of visibility, dust and noise pollution. It is also necessary to shield the ground floor of the house from the street and therefore the front fence should be of a height that will fulfill this condition. Stonewalls are gaining popularity in cities, basically because it presents a strong exterior, is long standing if the foundation is good and requires absolutely no maintenance. But then this solid, stable and permanent barrier does not come cheap.
The stone used for walls can be roughly grouped into four types. Field stone is any irregularly shaped, unquarried stone found in or on the ground. Rubble is broken residue from stone sawing operations. Flagstone is stone that is so evenly stratified that it splits naturally into flat pieces. And cut stone is stone that has been shaped and dressed with a saw or a chisel.
The two basic classes of stone walls are rubble and ashlar. Rubble walls are constructed from stone, which are minimally dressed, or not dressed at all, while ashlar walls have carefully crafted stone and close fitting joints as opposed to the wide joints of the former.
Natural fencing or hedges in the form of medium-high shrubbery is a good option if one needs fencing but do not want to be bound in by a concrete compound wall. Waist-high hedges generally do not obstruct the view of the building and hence are a viable option. So are railings of about 3 ft height. They again allow a free view of the property but however may not be suitable for residential sites.
Wood is another fencing option, not very popular in India and definitely not in Indian cities. It is a very common means of dividing the front garden from the street in the West and can be used in the Indian context if and only if the security of the property is otherwise taken care of. Rough wooden fencing is particularly suited to an informal garden. It makes an attractive natural background for flowers and shrubs and is a good support for climbers and most importantly, requires little or no maintenance. In city surroundings, this fence can be built in the rear side of the house as it is basically a private zone and the fence itself is shared with the neighbour and rarely exposed to the road.
Another popular fencing option is concrete pre-cast walls. While they are definitely attractive they are more suited to internal demarcations of activity zones rather than the boundaries. They are ideal material for screen walls.

  8. When the body is tense and under stress, it produces unhealthy levels of the well-known stress hormone, cortisol, which can contribute to weight gain, sleeplessness, digestive problems, and headaches. Massage therapy has been shown to decrease cortisol levels in the body. This enables the body to enter a recovery mode. Moreover, this form of therapy also triggers lasting feelings of relaxation, improved mood, and reduced stress levels. massage recliners

  22. Lost limits are those that you can pretty much make out along, for instance, a shopping road. Take a gander at the clearing along certain roads and you may choose a progression of little metal studs about a meter separated, which have been set there to characterize the limit between the public footway and the private forecourt of the shop.

  23. Controlling limits are by a long shot the most well-known type of limit and are set apart by low to tolerably high fences and dividers (1m – 2.4m) or at times supporting. Controlling limits are the ones you'll discover around a house's back garden. A portion of these limit fences and dividers will incorporate some type of damaging or temperamental fence besting which hinder the proprietor with specific responsibilities regarding wellbeing and security.

  30. Many Vastu tips and principles should be kept in mind when designing your home's gate. There are several Vastu rules for the main gate of the home to take into account, from the color of the gate to the door's design. Some important considerations include compound gate design and other compound wall gate Vastu advice. Vastu placement suggestions after the main door are also wise in this situation. House gates, wall gates, and even compound gates are used on independent and residential buildings to keep out wandering animals and keep them away from the road and other nearby buildings.
