Decreasing size of backyard by fencing it in half-way
Hi folks.
I've got a strange question - I was looking at purchasing a rental sfh and wanted to see if anyone has done what I was thinking. So this house is on a cul-de-sac in a suburban area and been on the market awhile. It needs some work inside, but that's not the real hold-up. Turns out that it has a super-deep yard in the back with no real redeeming qualities - unless you wanted to put an Olympic size swimming pool plus changing rooms and maybe a hotel back there..
Since I'm thinking of buy and hold, it's a pretty big turn off cause I know they'd never take care of it. It got me thinking, though - what if I just put a fence across the middle, or even closer to the house? Thus effectively shortening the yard into a much more manageable size and just let the rest of the property behind it go au natural?
Is that something that can be done, even? Anyone have experience with such a thing?
Cheers,
David
