Garden fences and Co.

"So, wooden fences have now become veritable decorative elements in gardens, artfully arranged to truly bring out the character of a garden composition. Whether it's a rustic or modern hunter's fence, picket fence, or palisade fence – tall, low, colorful, or natural – there's hardly a garden theme as diverse.

You can find a huge selection of wooden fences at specialist retailers, which can help you emphasize and define any garden style. But doing it yourself isn't that difficult either, and many DIY enthusiasts have set to work creating their own individual wooden fence.

And afterwards, you decide whether you want to integrate the garden fence into your garden's planting or even cover it with climbing plants."

"While grand, aristocratic gardens in the past primarily featured wrought-iron garden fences, today metal fences can be designed from elegant to practical and from traditional to ultramodern. Even the famous chain-link fence, though it may not look particularly beautiful, can, for example, provide a wonderful foundation for climbing plants to transform into a living fence.

And the very latest trend in garden borders, as well as room dividers, are wire mesh baskets filled with decorative river pebbles. With decorative lamps and light installations, they can be put in the right light and refined into a work of art with the addition of one or two sculptures. This allows you, for example, to separate your chill-out zone from the rest of the garden in a modern and stylish way or to create wind protection for particularly sensitive plants."

"Also particularly popular are fences that appear loose and light thanks to a clever mix of materials. A classic example is the low wall on which a metal fence is installed, providing height and thus security without obstructing the view.

However, combinations of pillars made of one material and then filling panels made of another are also often very attractive fence examples that greatly enhance a garden and give it a dignified frame."
