Decorative garden fencing is most commonly used in personal gardens and homes. The look of a garden and of personal property is important and everyone considers aesthetics when choosing garden fencing for their homes.
The great thing about decorative garden fencing is that you will rarely have to sacrifice functionality. You can find decorative garden fencing for all kinds of purposes. Whether it’s a large fence to keep the dog in the yard or a smaller fence to keep animals out of your garden you will find fences ranging from slightly decorative to intricately detailed and patterned.
The first question you will want to ask yourself when choosing decorative garden fencing is how the fence will fit with the overall look and feel of your house and/or garden. Other considerations include functional purposes of the fence and your budget.
A garden picket fence is a classic choice for garden fencing. It is constructed with vertical wooden boards which are evenly spaced apart and held together usually by two horizontal boards, one connected across the upper portion of the vertical boards and one across the lower portion.
The popular color choice for the garden picket fence is white (white picket fence). The white garden picket fence is a very popular choice because of it’s classic homely look that has been established from being used in home gardens for decades.
Today the garden picket fence has evolved from its original and simple construction from wooden boards. There are so many varieties of the white garden picket fence today from the simple to the elaborate and even the plastic. Although there are beautifully designed white garden picket fences available today, they all still maintain the basic form of the original garden picket fence.
If you’re looking for a unique style of garden fencing, you may want to consider bamboo garden fencing. Bamboo is very durable and has a great aesthetic appeal. There are a number of bamboo garden fencing styles available. The two main styles are a style where the bamboo is criss crossed and you can see through the fence and another style where the bamboo shoots are all standing vertically and lined up right next to each other with no visibility past the bamboo.
As mentioned already, bamboo is very durable and will last a long time, but if you are looking for a fence with any type of heavy duty purpose you probably do not want to use bamboo. Some bamboo garden fencing is reinforced on the inside with wood but it is still primarily decorative garden fencing.
