Here are some fencing options and ideas that will suit every homeowner’s needs and styles:

Do you need privacy?

Assess your needs. Do you have a dog that you need to keep contained in your fenced yard, or do you simply want some extra privacy? If you have these needs, then you will want to look for tall fencing that is made of solid wood or PVC materials.   Wooden fences can be installed in quite a few manners to reflect your tastes and needs. For example, the wood tops can be scalloped to give a pretty country look, or for a more modern appeal have the wood straight and streamlined with square caps on the tops of each post. There are also quite a few PVC-style fences that allow privacy and can suit both modern and classic tastes, depending on style and color choice.

Light up your fence:

A really great way to highlight your new fence and add some extra landscape lighting is by adding lights to the caps of your fence posts. There are plenty of choices at your local home hardware or fencing retailers; solar fence caps that run on solar energy are a perfect choice and can be found in numerous styles and colors.

Picket fencing:

Maybe you crave the classic look that a picket fence can give your home. Picket fencing is classic and will never go out of style. However, picket fencing is best left as a small addition to the front of your home and is mainly meant to add curb appeal – it is not really an option to keep a large dog in or for increased privacy.

Chain Link:

Chain link fencing is probably the most affordable option.  However, it doesn’t add a whole lot of curb appeal. But if you are on a budget, you can install a chain link fence and then beautify it with climbing plants. Within one summer season you can hide a large part of your chain link fence with a climbing plant such as clematis, or climbing roses.

As you can see there are a lot of choices to meet your individual fencing needs, with all these options, you can have fun creating a functional yet appealing outdoor landscape.

Apart from designing your garden to your liking, a large part of the garden is the privacy it can provide. It is much easier to design your perfect garden when it is separated from the surrounding environment. This is done by fencing. Fencing is no longer restricted to wire fences and crude wood panels which are set just so you would know the limits of your property. Nowadays, fencing can be decorative, and made from various different materials which can be designed and picked so they perfectly complement or even enhance your garden space.

Materials and Design

There are so many designs and materials to choose from, that you can almost do anything that comes to mind. In many cases, there are so many options that people do not even imagine until they see them.

Most of the popular materials include wood, plastic, metal, brick and even less known materials such as bamboo, straw, etc. But when you choose the material, there are endless possibilities of how the final product will look. Combinations of different materials can also provide interesting solutions which can make your garden look even better.

Here are some examples:

• Two toned fencing, complemented by additional elements such as statues or vases
• Themed style fencing – make your fence in the style of medieval castle walls, or something else you find interesting
• Classic picket fence – classic look which can be modified for your garden purposes
• Bamboo fence – natural look for your tropical styled garden
• Brick wall – stylish brick wall, or a combination of brick and wood or bamboo can bring out the perfect look of your garden
• Waterfall wall – incorporate the fence in your garden and make it a part of it
• and many more…

Lighting

Fencing can, besides the material and design, be enhanced by lighting. Carefully planned and installed lights can enrich the ordinary looking fence and bring out points of interest as well as create an intimate atmosphere. There are many different types of garden lights which can be set up on, or near the fencing, which also come in various designs to suite your every mood.

So, stop thinking about fencing just as the means of garden limits and enhance your garden with the perfect fence which brings out the design you wanted and sends the garden visitors to a whole different place.

For years now Safe Site Facilities have been providing temporary fencing solutions to aid those in need of a simple and easy to use fencing system.

When thinking of fencing, the usual PVC or wood slat, and barb wire varieties come to mind.  Although, there is a huge market for architectural fencing. I may have given it the term ‘architectural’.  I believe once design and aesthetics have been added to the product – it’s instantly architectural.  Look at this manufacturer that produces decorative fencing that is gorgeous and deters unwanted visitors.

The Dutch design team Demakersvan designed this beautiful concept called Lace Fence.  Featured on DeZeen.com is a chain link fence that incorporates strength and beauty in one beautiful fence.

It started production in January, 2007 in India.  Designed as a graduation project by Demakersvan’s Joep Verhoeven, this fence is an ingenious concept.

I’m sure this product was designed for commercial use, as seen in the park image below.  Although, I can see this as a beautiful application in residential neighborhood playgrounds, and homes that don’t want an obstructed view.

Innovative design is all around us. It’s wonderful to see everyday products being designed for safety, without sacrificing beauty! For more innovations visit, Demakersvan .

Are you thinking that this pattern would be a great inspiration for wallpaper? It is! Scandinavian Design Center

has a Lace Fence wallpaper inspired by the real thing.

Talk about “art imitating life!’
