Fencing clever

Fences are the obvious choice for defining you garden's boundaries, and there's a great range of fencing panels and posts available on the market.

But that's just one of dozens of different ways fences can transform your garden. Here are a few more:

Dividers: Create an air of mystery and make your garden seem larger than it really is by baffling the views
so you can't see it all at once: choose light, airy fences like high scalloped pickets.

Defining spaces: low fences are great for marking out areas like a vegetable patch. Choose from woven
willow hurdles, bamboo screening or log uprights.

Designer statements: sometimes fences are striking features in their own right. Horizontal slats are ultra-
modern, while low picket fences give a softer cottage garden look.

Screens: oil tanks and rubbish bins magically vanish behind fencing screens. You'll need a solid fence:
shadow box (two pickets behind each other) adds texture and plants grow up it easily.

Plant supports: trellis-style fences, either openwork or a shiplap panel topped with trellis, support your
plants and create a beautiful vertical backdrop.
