Fence materials vary, and most wicker fences like this one are constructed of bent willow. Although such profusion would be out of place with simplistic modern homes, it pairs well with more traditional styles.\n
\n
Reminiscent of Mediterranean balconies or of the wrought-iron fences once used to secure the perimeter of estates, elegant decorative metal fencing goes especially well with stucco houses of Moorish or Spanish design.\n
\n
Half-log edging gives off a country vibe reminiscent of rail fences and corrals. If you like the idea of wood, you also can use money-saving old pallets to construct garden beds and barriers.\n
\n
If you subscribe to the American dream of a white picket fence, but don\u2019t like the work involved with maintaining a wooden one, you might want to opt for a vinyl garden fence instead.\n
\n
Although the design and composition of this fence is hard to make out behind its veil of roses, it illustrates an excellent garden fence idea\u2014horizontal bars that act as a kind of \u201claid-on-its-side\u201d trellis. On it, you can train climbing or vining plants such as roses, clematis, honeysuckle, and others to grow laterally rather than upward, perhaps almost concealing the original fence but making a living one of their own.\n
\n
With a look somewhat similar to that of the cable type of guardrails, this fence\u2019s style depends quite a bit on the type of materials from which it is constructed. Weathered wood and rope, for example, could suit it to casual rural settings while metal stakes accompanied by cables probably would make it more appropriate for a modern industrial type of architecture. In the latter case, mass plantings of the same shrub or flower would fit the simplistic style better than many different varieties.\n
\n
Neatly sheared living fences, such as the boxwood hedges shown here, are highly popular in the formal gardens associated with mansions or British manors. In formal gardens, simplicity is key, and masses of the same type of plant rather than a mix of many can give a simple but formal feel. Since tall hedges tend to hide all but the stateliest flowers that stand behind them, you may want to make yours short or keep your beds in front of rather than behind those hedges. Or use this hedge as a living fence to separate a front yard or border the sidewalk or driveway.\n
\n
Some garden fences offer more function than aesthetics. Netting is strictly utilitarian and designed to keep wild animals\u2014especially deer\u2014out of your vegetable garden. Keep in mind that, to be successful, that netting will need to stand at least 6 feet tall for deer and probably won\u2019t be strong enough to keep rabbits and groundhogs from chewing through it. Although desperate gardeners sometimes use it for flower beds, it isn\u2019t especially pretty, but doesn\u2019t mar the landscape as much as chicken wire can.\n
