Decorative fence: 85 photos of modern projects and designs

Often, decorative fences are used to zone spaces in gardens and household plots, to protect plants in flowerbeds. With the right approach and good imagination, a decorative fence can carry not only its direct function, but also become an ornament that complements the appearance of the site.

The modern range of decorative fences is very large and the choice of material and shape depends on their direct purpose. You can also build a fence with your own hands.

Summary of the article:

Plastic

A good option would be to buy a ready-made plastic fence for a flower bed. Its advantage is the low price, a wide range of choices of products of different colors, shapes and sizes. Such fences are quickly and easily installed thanks to the modular compartments.

Natural materials

A homemade wattle fence made of twigs will look original. To do this, you will need:

Twigs and branches
Secateurs
Knife
Ax
Scrap
Hammer
Roulette

Divide the rods into 2 parts. Thick branches are suitable for vertical stakes, and thin ones need to weave walls. From large branches, you need to separate the side shoots and shorten them to the desired height.

Make markings on which the wattle will be installed. To make holes for stakes, hammer a crowbar into the ground with a hammer. Carefully drive the stakes into the holes. In order not to damage them, it is better to use not a hammer, but a mallet.

When weaving the walls, start work from the bottom. One horizontally located rod should go around two vertical ones. After the walls are woven, cut off the protruding branches on the last stake.

Wood

Also, to fence the flower beds, you can make a fence of wood. Material almost always harmoniously fits into the design of the site.

It is not necessary to specifically purchase the forest for this purpose - you can use the remnants of the tree that are already in the farm. Depending on the quantity, length and shape of the trimmings, the appearance of the future fence can be thought out.

A thick fence will come out of thick boards or you can make a stylish fence by placing these boards horizontally.

To make a fence, you must:

Roulette
Wooden posts
Material for crossbeams
Facing board (directly the shtak itself)
Nails or screws
Concrete

To build such a fence is very easy - calculate the required height and length and cut the boards and posts to the required sizes.

In order for the structure to stand longer and not to squint, do not dig in the columns to concrete the holes in which they are installed. Then screw the crossbars and place the rod from each other at an equal distance.

The “transparency” of the fence depends on the step width between the cladding boards. You can also curly cut patterns on the top of the cladding boards, this will add originality to the design.

A subset of the fence is a “checkerboard” - boards are stacked alternately on both sides of the crossbar. In front, the fence looks dull and solid, and when you look at an angle, gaps are noticeable. Such a fence looks interesting, unusual and spectacular. The downside is the large consumption of material during construction.

A horizontal fence is also being built on approximately the same principle. In this case, the crossbars are not needed, and the rod is attached horizontally to poles that are removed from each other by the length of the cladding board.

Thin slats can be used to create a trellised fence. Such a fence looks easy, fresh and original.

A low fence of this type will look good around the flower garden, and a high one will give an unusual look to the arbor. The decoration of such a grid will be any weaving plant - wild grapes, ivy, clematis or annual morning glory.

Usually shtaketnye "cells" are mounted on a square or rectangular wooden base. You can buy such blocks in a building hypermarket, or you can sharpen such a fence with your own hands.

There are many options for the location of the rails in such a fence and everything is limited only by your imagination. Reiki can be placed horizontally, vertically or diagonally, vary the distance between the slats or their width, and each time the fence will have a different appearance.

Concrete

A simple and reliable option for a summer cottage is the installation of a decorative concrete fence. The reinforced concrete slabs of which the fence sections are made immediately come complete with poles, which is very convenient and reduces the installation time of the fence.

Columns are dug to the same depth and concreted. After the solution has dried, you can proceed with the installation of concrete slabs. Sections and poles have special grooves for convenient installation without the use of additional materials.

Concrete blocks are easy to paint with special impregnations and acrylic-based paints and have many forms, which helps them to blend in harmoniously with the design of any site.

A rock

The most durable from the list are stone structures. They are not exposed to high humidity and temperature changes.

The most suitable for construction are sandstone, limestone, rubble, dolomite and even simple large cobblestones.

Low stone fences for summer cottages can be made independently by bonding natural stone with cement mortar. The advantage of this fence is originality, the ability to independently adjust the height and length of the fence.

Such products as gabions look original and unusual. Many saw photos of decorative fences made of metal mesh filled with stones, but did not know the name of this type of fences. Despite its futuristic appearance, gabions merge well into the landscape of a summer cottage thanks to natural stone.

Gabions are divided into 2 types: box-shaped mesh and welded wire. They differ only in the method of creating the frame.

Do not fill the gabion with any stones. Granite, natural quartzite, porphite and sandstone are well suited for this purpose.

The size of the stones is also important. It depends on the size of the mesh cells. Stones should be at least one third larger than the cells. The nets filled with multi-colored stones look very beautiful.

Gabions do not necessarily have a cubic or rectangular shape, there are grids of different lengths and shapes.

Metal

A metal fence can be bought at a hardware store or made to order. The product according to an individual sketch always looks noble and interesting. Metal is a durable material. With annual painting and treatment with anti-corrosion compounds, the fence can last for more than a dozen years.

Pillars

To install fences in construction stores, you can buy decorative poles for fences.They have different sizes, colors and textures, which helps to choose columns that are in harmony in design with sections of the future fence.

On sale are both whole products and block models. The material for them is brick and concrete.

Conclusion

Each owner wants to see his plot well-groomed and stylish. Not always beautiful and well-groomed - means "expensive." There are always options for fences, ideal for both functionality and price.
