Fencing
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.
