Within the main styles of wood fencing, consumers have an endless range of possibilities. The height, size and openness of the fence can all be adjusted. Privacy fences can use alternating boards, giving an even appearance on both sides of the fence. Post and rail fences can be modified with mesh wire or extra wood to contain smaller animals. A picket fence can have a scalloped arched or gothic top.
Latticework can top off a privacy fence, adding a personalized touch to a simple structure. Post caps and finials can provide an architectural detail to a picket fence. No matter what the style of fence, a wide variety of accessories exist to develop a custom look.
Why stop with a wood fence? The same qualities that make certain types of wood ideal for fencing lend themselves to many different applications.
A deck and rail system near a pool or outdoor seating can complement a wood fence. For a secluded backyard getaway, homeowners could build a gazebo or an arbor to suit their tastes. A matching wood gate provides an extra touch of security for a fence system. Since wood can be stained, painted, cut or shaped in so many ways, it is easy to coordinate a variety of projects to match. |
