How to make your garden fence stand out
When was the last time you looked at your garden fence? Exactly. You haven’t in a while. We don’t give enough attention to our garden fences and I think we should. Go on, have a look at yours. How does it look? Is it old? Is it falling apart? Is it dull? It doesn’t have to be and it shouldn’t be.
A garden fence might be a small detail in your garden but it’s an essential part of your home. It defines the border of your outdoors, provides you safety and privacy and keeps your pets safe. A garden fence also gives structure to your yard and can add a bit of personality and style to your outdoor space. So, is it time for a garden fence uplift? I think so.
Make it strong and long-lasting.
Speedy Fixings recommend installing post shoes on the wooden posts of your garden fence. Post shoes, also known as post supports, will add extra stability and support to your garden fence. This means, you will have a strong garden fence that will withstand anything that the weather throws at it. Plus, these post shoes also protect wooden posts from water damage, fungal damage and insect damage.
Make it colourful.
The easiest way to make your garden fence stand out is by giving it a colour update. No more boring wooden garden fences. Give your fence some colour instead! You can go for a dark colour, a light colour or go full rainbow if you want. I personally love dark garden fences, and I’m happy I’m not the only one. Time with Thea commented on a recent blog post that “dark fences are bold, elegant and will transform any garden into a modern space that makes your greenery stand out.” And I couldn’t agree more! Dark fences are truly stunning and will make your greenery even more beautiful!
If you don’t want to pick up the paintbrush but still want to add some colour to your fence, why not add some plants? As Pretty Big Butterflies says, “Adding climbing plants to your garden fence will be a great idea to give more colour to your outdoor space and hide an unattractive fence.”
Make it multi-functional.
A garden fence can have plenty of functions. Sparkles and Stretchmarks shared that “garden fences can act as the perfect vertical storage solution for pots and garden utensils.” and I love that idea! I can imagine a little floating herb garden on my garden fence! What do you think?
How will you make your garden fence stand out?
