A fence can take on countless styles; here’s how.
A property fence serves a highly practical purpose: to protect your property from trespassers. It marks boundaries and can help create privacy for your backyard. While a fence can be just another feature on your premises, it can also be a joy to see every day when it has a bit of ornamentation to it. These five simple fence style ideas can make your fence add to your home’s curb appeal even more.
1. Fence Panel Designs
Wood, composite, vinyl, and ornamental metal fences all have different standard fence panel style options that can change how your yard functions and feels. Arched, scalloped, and horizontal fence panels are three main choices. You can also have pickets at alternating heights.
2. Fence Picket Designs
Fence pickets, the parallel boards that make up the fence panels, can also have variations. There are many names for different picket top styles, including pointed, gothic, dog-ear, round, and blank. Different fence companies may have different official names for unique styles, and some companies may offer custom options.
3. Lattice Top Panels
Yet another way to make your backyard fence a little more interesting is with a lattice top across each fence panel. Lattice top panels can match horizontal or arched fence panels and are perfect for adding some visibility and ventilation through the tops of privacy fences.
4. Decorative Fence Post Caps
Fence post caps are three-dimensional, compared to pickets, which are two-dimensional. Fence post caps also come in many styles with specific names. You can match the fence post cap and fence picket styles or choose complementary ones. You can also install solar post cap lights that will illuminate your backyard in the evenings.
5. Fence Panel Add-Ons
Residential fences can be customized in even more ways. You could paint murals on the inner side of your fence, hang flower baskets, mount outdoor wall sculptures, or cut out decorative silhouettes, just to name a few fence style ideas.
