100 best ideas: fences and barriers for a private house in the photo

Any homeowner understands that protecting his territory, at least conditionally, is a mandatory attribute of private home ownership. A fence is responsible for protecting the site from prying eyes, uninvited visitors and simply decorating the landscape. Depending on where the private house is located - in a noisy city or beyond, the fence can perform various functions and have different options for height, construction, design, method of manufacture and installation.

When planning the installation of a fence around the perimeter of the site, it is important to consider some aspects:

the location of a private home ownership (in a city, near a noisy road, the building will need a more deaf and high fence, which can protect the owners not only from unsolicited guests and small animals, but also from noise, dust of city roads);
the size of the home ownership (there is an unwritten rule that it is better not to erect even a high fence above the first floor of a private house);
the type and style of the main building - a private house or a cottage, a mansion (the fence forms a general idea of the image of the entire architectural ensemble and it would be better if its design is in harmony with the main building and the landscape design of the courtyard);
features of the local landscape (the presence of groundwater and cavities in the soil, hilly and other features of the territory);
financial budget for the construction of the fence (the choice of material for your fence will largely depend on this);
relations with neighbors (not the last important aspect for choosing the type of fence);
the purpose for which you plan to build a fence, hedge, or a symbol for the boundaries of your site.

Before proceeding with the choice of building material and design of the fence for your site, decide why you need it:

marking the boundaries of the yard;
protection from visitors, including animals;
protection from dust and noise;
a screen from prying eyes (respect for privacy and some isolation);
basis for future hedges;
decorative function, decoration of landscape design.

Currently, the choice of materials for the manufacture of fences of various models is very wide, the most popular include the following:

wooden;
stone;
brick;
vinyl (frost resistant);
metal forged and mesh;
concrete
from polymeric materials
from slate and corrugated board.

My home is my castle

If the main purpose of the construction of the fence will be protection from people, animals and the protection of the inaccessibility and privacy of the home, then it is better to give preference to stone, brick, reinforced concrete or combined fences of impressive sizes.

Considering the option among the proposed solid fences, not unimportant factors will be the cost of material, work and the complexity of the construction of the fence.

For example, a fence completely erected from stone will have an incredibly attractive aesthetically pleasing appearance, it will last not decades, but decades and will perfectly harmonize with the masonry of the building itself or its foundation. But the price category of the source material for construction is high and the construction work is considered quite complicated, you cannot do without the services of professionals, unless you have experience as a bricklayer. As a result, a stone fence may be the most expensive option. But it all depends on the length of the fence. For small sections of urban private houses, a similar model of fencing is quite acceptable in terms of price-quality ratio.

Somewhat cheaper and easier from the point of view of installation, a brick fence can do. This sufficiently strong and durable fence will look attractive if the main building is laid out with the same material. In addition, a brick fence can be decorated - use material of various shades, decorate the openings for gates or gates with arches, small columns or turrets. There is no limit to imagination, weight is limited only by the territory of the yard and your financial capabilities.

As for reinforced concrete structures, this is the most affordable option for a reliable fence that will hide your home from prying eyes. In our country, such fences have gained considerable popularity not only because of affordable prices, but also the ability to quickly get a fence of any height and shape. Many companies offer a wide selection of methods for casting such fences for any taste preferences of homeowners. You yourself can create an individual style of not only your fence, but also the appearance of the entire site, because the fence is an important element of the architectural ensemble of your homeownership.

By combining various materials for the manufacture of capital fencing of the site, you can achieve not only high strength, reliability and durability of the structure, but also a unique appearance that will increase the level of originality and creativity of your home along with the site.

By combining concrete blocks and metal profiles in the construction of the fence, you can create a truly reliable and durable structure that will protect your home from all types of uninvited intrusions. When painting corrugated board in a shade suitable for concrete masonry, you can also achieve an aesthetically attractive appearance of the fence.

Metal fences and combined structures

The next ones in the price range, as well as in terms of reliability and popularity, are capital fences made of metal structures, as well as metal profiles or corrugated boards. Such models by a fence can either be mounted from forged elements, or composed of profile metal sheets on a frame of similar material. If such a fence is placed on a stone foundation, then its design will not only last longer, but will also be more durable, reliable.

Forged fences are strong and reliable, but because of their "transparency" can not protect your home from prying eyes. Unless you plan to plant climbing plants near the fence and subsequently get a combined hedge with live plantings.

Mesh metal fencing looks great and lasts longer if placed on a concrete or reinforced concrete base. If the high foundation is faced with tiles, plastic or other material in tone with metal structures, you can get a very interesting image of the fence, which will serve you for many years.

The metal fence has a much higher level of privacy protection. Such a fence will provide completely deaf isolation of your home ownership. But there are also disadvantages to such hedges - in terms of reliability and durability, such a fence significantly loses to stone and brick structures. The fact is that metal sheets are subject to deformation under constant mechanical stress (which is extremely difficult to avoid). Scratches and chips can cause rust, which significantly reduces the life of the structure.

A high fence with a metal frame and polycarbonate inserts will not only protect your home from prying eyes and visitors, but will also become a modern decoration of the site, strikingly distinguishing it from its neighbors along the street.

A fairly reliable design of metal columns and the space between them filled with wooden boards will initially look like. The last trend in the organization of landscape design is considered to be living walls, hedges, panels of flowers and evergreens. The image of your fence will be unique, unique and creative when using live panels in between fences.

Wooden fences are unrivaled

Not so long ago, wooden fences were almost the only affordable way to protect our territory for our compatriots. After all, wood is a widely available material, relatively inexpensive, easy to assemble and process. In addition, the tree can be decorated in various ways, covered with paint or varnish and not worry about the environmental friendliness of the source material.

Wooden fences are inferior in durability and strength to stone, concrete and brick models, but they are also cheaper. You can erect a wooden fence from planks, a fence, racks, stakes, branches, the so-called "round timber" and other lumber.

Depending on which particular type of wood you are applying, you can get both a high capital fence and a small fence, wattle fence or a picket fence. It all depends on the appearance of your home and landscape design on the site and the result that you expect from a wooden structure.

Contrary to popular belief, wooden fences harmoniously look not only outside the city, but also as a way of protecting the urban private sector, especially if there is a stone, concrete or brick foundation under the wooden fence.

The foundation of combined fences can be made of various materials, but in any case it will look more aesthetically pleasing if it is plastered and painted in a tone that will be combined with the building’s facade or landscape design elements of a personal plot or small backyard.

Depending on how you arrange the picket fence - vertically, horizontally or by combining the location of the boards, you can get different images of your fence. Low fences in a similar design can serve for zoning the space already inside the yard.

If the fence material is also used in the interior arrangement of the courtyard landscape design, for example, as a basis for a gazebo, benches, benches or a platform, then an incredibly harmonious, finished image of an architectural ensemble can result.

You can combine a wooden version of the fence with various synthetic materials, such as polycarbonate sheets. The modern and interesting image of the fence will not be inferior in strength and reliability to the usual wooden fence, but it will add uniqueness to your site.

Such designs of wooden fences will not protect your homeownership from prying eyes, but they will play a 100% decorative role. The unique design of the fence can not only decorate the site, but also raise the status of the entire architectural ensemble of your home.

As a rule, a fence made of natural wood is not painted to preserve the natural shade of wood. To extend the life of your wooden fence, it is necessary to cover the fence or boards with special varnish for outdoor structures and update the coating every 1.5-2 years.

There are many options for materials for the manufacture of fences, as well as methods for combining them and decorating structures. With such a large assortment of options, a homeowner with any size of wallet and taste preferences will be able to choose his model of fence for the fence of the yard or infield.
