10 easy ways to make an ugly fence attractive and stylish.

Plant boxes

Ordinary wooden boxes will become a great accent in the design of the site, and a dark brown or gray fence will turn into an ideal contrasting background. Sturdy fruit boxes can be used as shelves for pots, and long ones can be used as planters.

Pallets

Painted in a bright color, pallets with plants will serve as an interesting decoration for an unsightly fence. They can be hung on a fence or placed nearby, arranging a vertical garden. You can plant unpretentious plants in the pallets, as well as healthy greens – lettuce, arugula, parsley, borage, dill.

Flower pots

When decorating a plot, summer residents everywhere use ampelous plants in decorative hanging pots, so why not decorate the fence with them? Petunias, which bloom all summer, nasturtium, and geranium will do. Bright flowers that distract attention from the fence can be planted next to it.

Pots can be easily replaced with painted tin cans, old watering cans or buckets: they can be nailed to old boards and new annuals can be planted each season.

Climbing plants

Dense greenery planted along the fence will ideally fit into the garden landscape, and will also make the area more secluded.

Spindle tree with leaves turning red in the fall, grapes that can bear fruit, viburnum-leaved bladder senna, as well as luxurious park roses that do not require special care are suitable.

A fence made of coniferous trees

Thujas, cypresses, firs, yews and junipers with a dense decorative crown significantly ennoble a country fence.

The most impressive looking thujas are those that grow up to 6 meters, do not burn in the sun, do not drop leaves and keep their shape.

3D stickers

A special photo mesh is produced for a fence made of corrugated board, which hides the shortcomings of the old structure, allowing you to transform it quickly and at a relatively low cost. Manufacturers claim that the service life of such stickers exceeds 5 years.

Painting

You can decorate a fence without the help of professionals, that is, with your own hands. Beginners should use a stencil, and those familiar with brushes and paints should use artistic techniques. Before painting, you should sand the boards, soak them in an anti-rot solution and cover them with a primer. For decoration, acrylic, alkyd or oil paints for wood are selected, and after finishing the work, a protective varnish is applied.

Old things

After rummaging around in the attic, it is easy to find previously useless treasures that, with due diligence, will become the highlight of the country site and hide the unsightly fence. Installations with garden tools, instruments and mailboxes will definitely make you smile!

Decorative Elements

You can also create a decor specifically to decorate an old fence and create an aesthetic composition from items that are used to decorate not only country houses, but also the interiors of city apartments.

Windows, doors, mirrors

Window frames, old doors with glass inserts and mirrors that have served their purpose can turn an unattractive fence into a work of art, and reflective surfaces will give it a special mystery. It is better if the wooden parts are painted in a rich or simply contrasting color.

Even in conditions of saving budget and time, the most boring fence can become special – you just have to be resourceful.
