How to Get a Quirky Fence for Your Garden

Assess the Area

The first step to fencing is always assessing the area. Whether it’s in your front garden, backyard, or terrace garden decide the type of fence. If it’s in your front or backyard, it must have a considerable height (at least 5 feet).

This prevents gazes from your neighbors as well as passersby. If you are using the fence for aesthetics, better match it with the overall look of your garden and home interiors. For instance, a rustic fence will not go well with a contemporary designed terrace garden.

Purpose of the Fence

Everyone has a different purpose for fencing. For some, it is totally for privacy while for some, it is just for the beautification of the garden. If you want a durable option, a brick wall is the best.

Not only does it last for several years, but also requires less maintenance. A less expensive option is using the metal sheets supported by metal or cement pillars. This requires regular maintenance otherwise the metal may rust.
