Garden Fencing.
A proper garden requires effort to maintain. Keeping animals or children from trampling or disturbing your hard work is important. Garden fencing can not only look great but it can keep animals from getting at your produce or people from inadvertently stepping on your plants. Fencing can also provide privacy, to create secluded garden areas conducive to relaxation. Lastly, you may require a fence for security reasons and you’d like it to look great with your garden as well.
Whether your fencing is mostly decorative or practical will influence your material choice.
•Wire: If you are just looking to keep animals out, then a wire fence is very practical. They are not immensely sturdy but they will keep small animals and children away from your plants – the cheapest kind is simple wire mesh but there are also ornamental and more decorative varieties.
•Wood: Wood fences look great in a garden, be they the more open picket or lattice variety or a solid stockade wall for maximum privacy. Simple wood fences are not too demanding to put up on your own and they are reasonably affordable. However, they will require maintenance. Wooden garden fencing will require re-painting every few years and may rot or decay, requiring some parts to be replaced.
•Vinyl: Vinyl garden fencing is a common alternative to wood – it can be made to look almost the same and it does not require painting or other maintenance. It can be washed simply with a hose. However it tends to be more expensive that wood and is more difficult to install yourself.
•Metal: Metal fencing is generally the most secure – and it doesn’t have to sacrifice in looks, either. A wrought iron fence will add a lot of charm to your garden. However it is usually more expensive that other types of fencing and generally will require professional installation.
