Intricate Fences Are Like Pieces of Art

Fences were originally created for solely practical purposes. Over the years, the craftsmanship and design involved have blossomed to create some stunning pieces of art. Lattice work is common on tall wooden fences these days because it allows sunlight to shine through while still protecting your property. For passersby, the lattice shows a commitment to style and can make your tall fence seem less foreboding. Intricate lattice, meticulously-placed boards, and slim iron bars all make for a more artistic fence. Any type of fancy design helps to make your fence appear softer so that it doesn’t ruin the vibe of your outdoor space. The integrity of the fence is still there, but it doesn’t seem like you have a wall dividing your property from the neighbors. A classy fence can make a property seem very polished and put-together so that anyone walking by will know that you care about your home. 

Fences Can Be Used to Create More Private Areas in The Yard

You can use a fence to create private spaces in your yard that would otherwise not exist! If you want to install a hot tub, why not add a fence around it to create a cozy hang out space? Maybe you have a patio in the yard that you use for grilling and enjoying the game. You can use a fence to make it more of a “room!” If you want to create some separation in your yard, a fence is the way to go. Fence off a pool area, the side of your house where you walk from the front to the backyard, the area under a deck, etc. The options are endless! Not only will a fence give you more privacy in these areas, they can also protect you from the weather and the occasional rogue soccer ball that gets kicked a bit too hard in the wrong direction. Breezy days and nights become more tolerable with the barrier of a fence, and you don’t have to worry about neighbors spying on your activities and conversations. 

A Fence Can Be Decorated With Art, Plants, and Flowers

Another way a fence can improve your backyard is by acting as a canvas for showing off your creative side. You can hang plants, art, old picture frames, mirrors, and tile work on your fence to add a focal point to your yard. Fences make great supports for trellises used to grow climbing plants, and they can help give you more space to cultivate flowers. Stacking up planters on the fences maximizes the space you have available. You can even have a garden without taking up a single inch of the ground space you have! Some people like to hang up lights, metal or wooden signs, and more on their fences to help the outside feel as homey as the inside. You can even use easy installment mechanisms so that you can change your decorations easily. Hooks, nails, and hangers are all great options!

Fences Provide Protection Allowing You to Grow a Gorgeous Garden!

Do you love to garden? If so, a fence can be your best friend. Protect your flowers and veggies from hungry pests with a wooden or vinyl fence! You can line the fence with good soil and plant to your heart’s desire. You can add trellises to incorporate some climbing plants as well as your classic flowers and veggies. The fence will keep hungry animals out of your yard (and therefore your garden) and will help protect them against wind, rain, and sun. An added bonus? The solid color of a wooden or vinyl fence acts as a perfect backdrop for your garden! Colorful flowers will pop against the browns, reds, and grays, and the greens of the foliage will bring more life to your property. If you’re really into order, you can organize by color, flower type, plant type, and more!
