How can I fence in my garden?
 Wood
Garden Fencing
Wood lattice makes attractive garden fencing that affords some privacy
while allowing glimpses of the garden. Lattice boards set into a
wooden privacy fence add a whole new design dimension to the frontage
of your garden. A single width of lattice fencing can provide a
screen or windbreak, and support for any climbing vines. Set a lattice
panel at the edge of the garden nearest the house and train morning
glories to climb it to provide a scenery wall outside a kitchen
or bedroom window, or create a simple arbor with two full height
lattice panels set six to eight feet apart. Use thick garden twine
to create a 'bridge' for vines to climb across and form a living
'roof.
Border Edging Garden Fencing
Border edging is another extremely versatile garden fencing option.
Think outside the perimeter. You can use wire garden fencing to
create smaller accents within a garden plot, or outline one corner
or end of a garden with cast iron border edging. Cedar shakes or
redwood blocks can be used to create curved borders for slightly
raised garden beds, or serve as a backdrop over which to spill indigo
lobelia or white alyssum. Create a zigzag border of decorative low
picket garden fencing and plants such as zinnias or marigolds in
the V-shaped 'teeth' for a unique look
Patio Wall of Garden Fencing
Garden fencing can be used to create a beautiful background for
patio dining. Choose a metal trellis and install it just off the
patio edge behind the table and dining set. Twine climbing roses
up over it to create an accent that defines the edge of the patio
and creates an elegant, tasteful accent to your patio and garden
at the same time.
