Types of Ornamental Garden Fences for your Home

Gardens are a charming addition to any home and can be a great hobby to pursue. If you plan your garden well, you can enjoy beautiful flowers and fresh fruits or vegetables regularly. However, your garden will only thrive if it’s maintained and nurtured properly. At Boston Ironworks, we recommend that you install an ornamental fence around the garden.

These fences will control the growth of your plants and protect them from pests. Fences will also add a distinct charm to your garden and provide an enclosed area where you can relax and enjoy from privacy.

Types of Ornamental Garden Fences

Fences are available in different designs, colors, and can be made from a variety of materials. These fences need to look good and withstand the outdoor conditions so it’s important to choose the material carefully. Here are some of the options available to you.

Wrought Iron Fence – A professional skilled in ornamental iron works can create an intricate and resilient wrought iron fence based on your requirements. Wrought iron is one of the most popular fencing materials because it can last for decades, is easy to maintain, and can withstand the weather conditions well. As long as you clean and refinish the fence every one or two years, you won’t have to worry about replacing it anytime soon. Wrought iron fences are also very pretty and can complement the beauty of your garden.

Wood Fence – Wood fences have long been associated with pretty little English gardens. This is a great choice if you want a traditional garden with a white-picket fence. Unfortunately, wood isn’t as resilient as wrought iron and is prone to damage from excessive moisture and pests. You need to make sure your wood fences are sealed well to extend their lifespan.

Vinyl Fence – Vinyl can emulate the look of wood but is more affordable and doesn’t require as much maintenance. However, vinyl fences have a shorter lifespan so you will have to replace them in a few years. If you’re on a tight budget and don’t mind the hassle of replacing your fence often, this is a good option for you.
