When you become a homeowner, it’s natural to spruce up the place to make it feel homey and functional for your wants and needs. Your property’s exterior is the first impression for visiting guests and family, so making it a good one is important! This summer, discover what fencing styles suit your aesthetic to make it special to you!
Wooden Fencing Styles
Wooden fencing has been around for many, many years; its simplicity and style stand the test of time through beautifully done design!
Lattice
Why go cookie-cutter if you have an outgoing personality and a love for a whimsical aesthetic? The lattice design is one of the lesser-used wooden fencing styles, beautifully creating a cottage feel around your home or garden!
Simple Picket
If you favor well-known fence styles, that’s okay, too; the simple white picket fence vision is many homeowners’ dreams come to fruition! This fencing style has been a popular choice across many home architectural designs and is a durable option for those looking for hardy materials.
Modern
You can create a sleek, modern fence with smaller horizontal wooden planks, just different enough to catch someone’s eye. Often painted or stained with dark colors, they offer a rich contrast to the surrounding landscape!
Vinyl Fences
Vinyl fencing is a fantastic wood alternative for those searching for a fun wood-like style without the concerns, such as rotting and splintering, that come with it!
Mixed Design
If you’re thinking outside the box for fencing styles, you should consider mixing it up with a combination vinyl fence! One fun combination that’s gained traction is straight vinyl as a foundation with a narrow lattice section above!
Straight Vinyl
A fully vinyl fencing design choice is parallel to traditional wooden picket fences in that they’re common and great for a more traditional appearance. This fencing style is typically comprised of vertical planks cut to the same height, offering a uniform look to your lawn!
Scalloped Top
A whimsical non-wood option for your fencing is a scalloped top design of planks that gradually bow up or down at varying heights. These are used for establishing boundaries around your lawn while giving off a welcoming, almost storybook view.
Metal Or Chain Link Fences
Choosing a metal fence doesn’t have to make your lawn look cold and standoffish – you can have a beautiful lawn while incorporating the metal into the overall design!
Standard Chain Link
These durable and low-cost fences can last for a long time, and despite the arguments of it being an unattractive alternative, there’s a lot you can do with them! This fencing style is successful in establishing clear property boundaries and can be designed to mimic the styles of other materials.
Wrought Iron Fences
Installing a wrought iron fence around your lawn can symbolize elegance and strength in your home. They are traditionally black, providing a fun contrast to the earthy tones of your lawn, and can be mixed with other materials if desired.
Easy Aluminum (Or Other Metals)
Aluminum fencing consists of square aluminum “tubes,” secure iron panels, solid steel pieces, and more! You can utilize these for privacy and longevity and as a more budget-friendly solution than wrought iron for the same elegant feel.
