Modern Yard Fencing Ideas

Fencing is more than just functional. It also offers an aesthetic dimension to any homeowner’s yard. Therefore, when considering what fencing to provide for your customers, consider both the look and performance of the product. Below is a collection of fencing ideas to help homeowners who are looking for more modern options to choose the right fence for their yard.

Start Simple: A Vinyl Fence

Vinyl fencing is still as relevant and popular today as it has always been. Vinyl fencing is budget-friendly, versatile, and available in a wide range of colors, styles, and textures. It requires minimal maintenance – all you need is a hose and soap. Vinyl is also termite resistant, rot resistant, and retains its finish under constant exposure to the sun. As a result of these features, vinyl is extremely durable, lasting 20 to 30 years.

Go Bold: Iron Fencing

Wrought iron fencing is both secure and stately. When mixed with carbon, it is virtually indestructible. Although homeowners will need to paint the fence once every decade, the structural integrity of this fencing is unmatched. It’s impenetrable strength also provides an added layer of security to a property.

Iron fencing provides an elegant and regal backdrop to a yard. The open design allows homeowners and guests to enjoy the landscape instead of blocking it. Homeowners can also plant hedges and vines to grow along this fencing.

Combine Materials: Wood and Corrugated Metal

Rather than settle for one type of material, why not offer your customers a combination fence? One of the most popular combo fences is wood and corrugated metal. Galvanized metal has emerged a decorative addition to fencing. When combined with wood, there are endless possibilities for fence designs. You simply have to decide which material you want as the centerpiece of the layout.

One question that may arise is how well galvanized metal holds ups when the weather is less than ideal. When reinforced with the wood and stabilized by posts in concrete, the steel should withstand high winds and heavy rains. Galvanized steel with thick zinc coating is rust-resistant and will not corrode when the humidity is above 60%.

Take Up Heavy Rock: Build a Gabion Wall

Once used by military personnel and structural engineers, gabion walls have become a mainstay for some homeowners. They are cost-effective, easy to build, and provide a striking stone feature for any yard. Gabions are metal enclosures that house the stone vertically, thus, creating a solid and stable stone wall.

Homeowners can mix and match rocks, as well as layer them to a specific design. The best thing about gabion walls is that they can stabilize the soil and prevent erosion. Gabion walls are attractive, eco-friendly & sustainable, permeable, and last forever. Learn How to Build a Gabion to Control Soil Erosion.

Try a Linear Approach: Horizontal Stained Planks

Most homeowners want a fence with vertical wood planks. If your client is looking to set their yard apart, then try suggesting horizontal wood planks instead. Also, you may want to recommend staining the planks instead of whitewashing them. This approach creates an entirely different aesthetic throughout the yard.

Horizontal wood planks are especially eye-catching in traditional or farm home settings. However, when using certain types of wood and stains/colors, they can also enhance a modern home, particularly in enclosed areas such as patios or decks.
