10 easiest ways to decorate an ugly fence

Plant boxes

Ordinary wooden boxes will be a great accent in the design of the site, and a dark brown or gray fence will turn into a perfect contrasting background. Strong fruit boxes can be used as shelves for pots, and long ones 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 side by side in a vertical garden. You can plant unpretentious plants in pallets, as well as useful greens - lettuce, arugula, parsley, borago, dill.

Flowerpot with flowers

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

The pots are easy to replace with colored tin cans, old watering cans or buckets: they can be nailed to old planks and new annuals can be planted every season.

Climbing plants

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

Suitable for euonymus with leaves reddening towards autumn, grapes that can bear fruit, viburnum, as well as luxurious park roses that do not require special care.

Coniferous hedge

Tui, cypresses, spruces, yews and junipers with a dense decorative crown significantly ennoble the country fence.

Thuja look most impressive, which grow up to 6 meters, do not burn in the sun, do not drop foliage and keep their shape.

3D Stickers

For a fence made of corrugated board, a special photo grid is produced, which hides the flaws of the old structure, allowing it to be transformed quickly and at a relatively low cost. Manufacturers claim that these stickers have a lifespan of more than 5 years.

Painting

You can decorate the fence without the involvement of professionals, that is, with your own hands. For beginners, it is better to use a stencil, and for those who are familiar with brushes and paints, an artistic technique. Before drawing, the boards should be sanded, impregnated with an anti-rotting solution and covered with a primer. For decoration, acrylic, alkyd or oil paints for wood are selected, and at the end of the work, a protective varnish is applied.

Old things

Having rummaged in the attic, it is easy to find previously useless treasures, which, with due diligence, will become the highlight of the summer cottage and hide an ugly fence. Installations with garden tools, tools and mailboxes will definitely make you smile!

Decorative elements

Or you can create a decor specifically for decorating an old hedge and make an aesthetic composition of objects that decorate not only country houses, but also the interiors of city apartments.

Windows, doors, mirrors

Window frames, old doors with glass inserts and worn-out mirrors can make an unattractive fence a work of art, and reflective surfaces give it a special mystery. It is better if the wooden parts are painted in a rich or just a contrasting color.

Even when you save money and time, the most boring fence can become special - you just need to be smart.
