Practical Shadowbox Fence
With a shadowbox fence, the board placement alternates on the two sides of the fence’s structure. This means that the look is essentially the same from both sides of the fence. Also, since a shadowbox fence is wooden, you can stain it to match the look of your home’s exterior, your lawn furniture, or just to accent your landscaping.


When is a Privacy Fence Not a Privacy Fence?
When you think of a privacy fence, you probably think of the tall, wooden, planked fences that decorate the property lines through most of suburbia. However, that is a very narrow view of what a privacy fence really is. It does not actually have to be a hardscape fence. Instead, it can be landscaping or a living fence that provides you with privacy and a natural look to your yard.


Maybe a Wrought Iron Fence Is For You
If you want a traditional look to your property, then you should consider installing a wrought iron fence. They give you the look of traditional suburban housing while functioning as a way to keep your pets in the yard or other people out of it. They lack the privacy that a wooden fence might give you, but offer an open feel to your yard that will make it feel bigger and more welcoming.

Does Your Garden Need a Fence?
Fences can support certain climbing crops, including pole snap and lima beans, peas, cucumbers, small melons, squash, and even some pumpkins. You even tie tomato plants to fences. Instead of spreading horizontally, such crops encompass vertical space, freeing up gardening space for other crops.
