Different Types Of Fencing To Feed Your Gardening Hobby

Being left out to face the ever extreme elements can take its toll on the appearance of fences

. For the hobby gardener the appeal of a well maintained garden is all about aesthetics, so to let the borders become neglected undermines all the hard work that has been invested. If replacing an entire fence is too costly, it is possible to renovate old fences or build new small fences and borders to give an instant lift to any out door space.

Balusters are stone fencing used to decorate the edges of decking or divide a two tier landscaped garden. The name is derived from French and Italian architecture and also refers to some candle stick designs. Used as fencing, balusters are popular in parks and public places, particularly heritage sites and using them in private gardens creates an air of sophistication that isn't immediately obvious with wooden or plastic alternatives.

If the fence panels are in good condition and you simply fancy a change, trellis borders, tops and fronts provide an interesting addition. Now available in more non-traditional patterns, they even come with waved tops. The major benefit of trellis is that it also encourages climbing plants, providing a two phase makeover for the price of one.

Depending upon the level or privacy you need or wish the fence to provide, a garden screen may be a better suited solution. These can be made from straight panels of wood, metal, PVC or even bamboo. Far from unsightly, the plain blocks can be decorated with hanging baskets on the supporting posts, rows of bedding plants in front or even painted with any design or colour.

Zig zag fencing uses planks of soft or carved wood in a horizontal arrangements to give a 'rustic' feel to gardens. Similar to plain styled hazel and willow panels, they are most closely associated with the American prairie style of garden fence. They are also comparable to a less formal version of the picket fence and are reminiscent of a paddock or equestrian enclosure.
