The summer of 2011 was a difficult one for many residents of the Austin area, and for that matter, all of Texas. The extreme temperatures, drought, and wildfires brought difficulties to many in the state. Those in the Austin area were, of course, most dramatically affected by the wildfires that plagued Bastrop and other regions of greater Austin. For homeowners who suffered property damage or the complete loss of their homes, recovering from such a tragedy can be a slow and painstaking process, but psychology experts agree that a great deal of healing can come with the ability to rebuild. For some, this means starting from the bottom up, while others tend to structural repairs and some are focused on fencing, driveways/walkways, and landscaping that will help to prevent any such catastrophe in the future. Wood fencing is very popular in the Austin area, and along with chain link fencing is a relatively inexpensive fencing material. However, when wildfires strike, even treated wood fencing cannot withstand the heat and the flames. There are, however, other fencing options available for those who are concerned about fires. One option is ornamental iron. An iron fence can provide a stately look to your home, especially when combined with brick columns at entryways and gates. And, there are few materials sturdier than iron when it comes to strong and secure Austin fencing for your home. Another fencing option that appeals to homeowners in Austin and the surrounding areas is chain link fencing. This option is especially helpful for outlying property areas that need to be sectioned off for specific purposes, for example, dog runs or pens. Chain link fencing can also be utilized to keep pets or small livestock out of garden areas or separated from larger pastures. Chain link fencing is a very inexpensive way to fence an area off and it has the advantage of being easily installed in a variety of locations. Clearly one of the issues facing those in the Austin area who are struggling to rebuild is cost. Even with insurance settlements, many homeowners are facing expenses that are difficult during these economic times. For those who are looking to install Austin fencing, there are some Austin companies that have partnered with the community of Bastrop in order to assist with the rebuilding effort. Residents of Bastrop who would like to benefit from this fencing assistance need to show proof that they do, in fact, reside in Bastrop and that they fell victim to the wildfires. Contacting an Austin fencing company that offers this assistance is one way to continue healing by working towards rebuilding.
