How to decorate a country fence. Decorative fence decoration. Wooden fence decoration

Surely every summer resident has heard the expression more than once that a fence is the calling card of every house. It really is. Firstly, because everyone passing by and neighbors can see it. Secondly, the mood of the guests is largely determined by the appearance of the fence. And in general, a bright beautiful fence for a summer residence is a guarantee of a good mood and new pleasant acquaintances.

It is interesting to know the answer to the question: "How to paint a fence in the country?"

Each summer resident has neighbors whose fence is considered exemplary. The fence can be decorated in various techniques: do-it-yourself drawings on the fence in the country house are made, entwined with plants, even ordinary old and not very things, and so on. Let's look at a few options in this article.

We decorate the fence in the country from corrugated board

A corrugated fence, despite its modest appearance, can be decorated very easily and interestingly.

There are several original ways:

Firstly, you can simply choose a beautiful color for the corrugated board so that its appearance matches the house. For example, make it a little lighter than the roof. Or a couple of shades darker than the pillars.

Secondly, you can "make up" corrugated board under another material. Choose, for example, coloring under a stone.

Or disguise as bricks. And you can not touch the material, but make brick pillars.

Such combinations - corrugated board with brick pillars - will always find fans.

Thirdly, you can cut out the top of the corrugated board in a figurative way. It can be made in the form of a wave, sharp corners, and so on. The main thing is not to forget to cover it with a profile.

Alternatively, use forged ornaments on the fence. You can come up with absolutely any pattern and bring it to life. Sometimes drawings or patterns are made of metal and attached to the ends or even the middle of a corrugated board fence.

Of course, do-it-yourself drawings on the fence in the country house will look great on a corrugated fence. It will not be difficult for people with imagination to paint a fence in a country house from corrugated board, and bright colorful drawings will delight the eyes of all passers-by.

We decorate the fence in the country from a metal picket fence

As you know, a metal picket fence is chosen due to its strength and durability. Indeed, such fences at first glance seem too strong and "clumsy".

This is easy to fix by decorating it. The options for decorating a corrugated fence and a metal picket fence are very similar.

Skillfully combining different bright colors on the fences, you can turn it into something fabulous. If you choose a color palette with taste, then the fence will not need any decoration.

Like corrugated metal picket fences, you can paint them in the colors of other materials. In this case, it will look different. Perhaps this option will fit more nicely into the design of the house. The wood decor on the Unix picket fence looks very interesting.

Painting a fence in a country house is also a good option for decorating. On a solid and stable metal fence, there is room for fantasy to unfold. Drawings on the fence in the country can be varied. They can be combined with forged jewelry or with decorations from unnecessary things and climbing plants.

We decorate the chain-link fence

For some reason, many people are sure that a chain-link fence cannot be decorated. Actually it is not. Drawings made by coloring holes look very funny. How to do it? Very simple!

There are several ways to decorate chain-link fences. First, it is possible to fill these cells from plants. For example, tie knots of bamboo or reeds.

Secondly, chain-link hedges with carbonate sheets inside look interesting. With their help, you can create the most unusual patterns.

Camouflage net and shading shadows are also used. They look beautiful, but they are not at all practical and quickly change their appearance for the worse.

Green World

Impressive when the fence not only attracts the eye, but also effectively merges with nature. In the case of decorating the fence with plants, this also makes it environmentally friendly. This way of decorating will look great next to any house and on any fence.

Very often, walking along the street, you can see fences along which wonderful plants climb. So: how to decorate a fence in the country with your own hands using plants?

Using climbing plants to decorate a fence is always practical, pretty and inexpensive. Special plants grow fast, require little maintenance and look wonderful, especially when in bloom.

What kind of plants to choose? Most often choose girlish grapes, ivy, honeysuckle, hops, climbing roses, morning glory. A little more about each of them.

Parthenocissus is quite attractive due to the change in color throughout the year. In addition, it is unpretentious, and blooms until winter.

The advantage of ivy is that it easily tolerates any climatic conditions. It is suitable for any fences.

Honeysuckle grows very fast and there are many varieties. You can use several on the fence at once.

Hops are very similar to honeysuckle in their properties. Only it spreads much faster even where the owner cannot imagine. Often it creeps into neighboring areas. Having chosen it, you need to think over this problem.

Ipomoea does not require much care other than moist soil. However, it pleases its owners with beautiful pink and purple flowers, similar in shape to gramophones. The plant is, by the way, an annual and will have to be planted every year.

Curly beans are also annuals and require careful care. Extremely unadapted to cold weather. It is better to plant it in the middle of spring, when the snow has melted and the time for warm weather comes.

Climbing roses, of course, are an order of magnitude higher than all other plants, although they require considerable care. They are perennial. Such roses are divided into three categories depending on the height. During growth, they all form into original fans and look just amazing. If you have time and desire, roses are the best option. Although, as they say, the taste and color ...

When we decorate a dacha fence with flowers, they can be planted not only vertically. A flower bed along the fence also looks good.

Do-it-yourself drawings on the fence in the country house, decorating the fence with flowers and funny appliqués are far from all that can be done. Here are examples of original ideas.

The most important thing in such matters is not to be afraid to do unusual things.

Old things and a drop of fantasy will help you with this.

Applications

This technique is similar to painting, but slightly different. We decorate the fence in the country now with the help of pieces of glass, corks, painted pieces of wood, pots and so on.

With the help of unnecessary small pieces that can be painted in advance, interesting characters and drawings are laid out. You can supplement this with pots of plants, a ready-made pattern on the fence, and so on.

Types of fence decoration

The most popular decoration of the fence with plants. There are 2 options here:

The first decor option is used to design any fences. Both chain-link mesh and other fences can withstand whips of ivy, honeysuckle, and hops. If you plant a climbing rose near a chain-link mesh, additional reinforcement will be required. The advantage of these plants is that they are perennials. Therefore, there is no need to engage in annual plantings. Annual climbing plants (peas, morning glory) quickly tighten the fence, but next year you will need to plant again.

The second option involves attaching boxes of various shapes with lush flowering plants to the surface of the fence.

Stone or brick fence can be decorated with moss. The result is a structure that resembles ancient ruins. This design requires special masonry with gaps where soil could be poured and moss attached.

Applications made of plastic or disks look original. It can be fairy tale characters, floral or animalistic compositions. The monumentality of any design will be given by natural stones, which can be overlaid with a concrete base.

centimeters.
