Using Decorative Fencing In Your Garden

Everyone has some parts of their garden that they'd rather not have on public display. It might be piles of pots and water containers that won't fit in the shed or just a compost heap or bin. Perhaps you have long and short bamboo canes that you want to store outside, mowers and other equipment in a lean-to that you want to hide from prying eyes.

For many residents of east London and Essex areas such as Brentford and Hornchurch, fencing is the solution. All their recycling bins and garden detritus can be perfectly hidden behind fences. Decorative fencing can even turn an eyesore into an attractive garden feature.

Types of Decorative Fencing

You are spoilt for choice when deciding what types of fences to use for this purpose. As well as the close-board and larch lap timber panels which might match your boundary fencing, there are pretty trellis panels and various screening panels made from natural materials that could be used.

Panels could be made of bamboo, willow, reed, bark or brushwood. You can also buy these in rolls to be attached to fences or structures. Bamboo panels might be thick or slim, delicate canes, or even split canes. Reed screening is more pliable and the effect can be echoed over an arbour or pergola. Bark and brushwood screening has a more natural appearance than the light or red colours of canes.

Making the Most of Decorative Fencing

Decorative fencing can be as tall or short and as dense or delicate as required. Trellis panels may seem a strange suggestion for hiding things, but with strategically placed planting beside a thick criss-cross of trellis with a wavy top, the eye will stop at the trellis and appreciate an attractive feature.

To get the instant effect of mature planting place potted plants alongside your screening product. If you use it elsewhere in your garden as well, perhaps around a pond, fountain or other water feature, decorative fencing becomes part of an impressive overall design.

For Essex residents of towns like Orsett and Upminster, fences to hide the unsightly areas of their garden are being duplicated in other areas too. A tall screen also helps where need to have a shaded area and there are many other ways to use these decorative fences. For example, they can mark off different garden €rooms' and accentuate pretty features all around the garden.
