In choosing a design for your fence, it is a good idea to take into consideration the architectural style of your home. The design of the fence should complement the architectural style of the house be it Victorian, Federation, Georgian or Contemporary.

If you find matching your fence’s design and your home’s architectural style difficult, you might consider colour matching instead. You can choose a rather simple and unbiased design and use colours that are used in your house. You can match it with the colour of your roof or your window, for example.

You can even experiment and try to find colours that would suit your garden theme or the colours present in your garden and lawn. Of course, that would be a bit tricky as you might have to make the colour theme of your garden constant all throughout – planting the very same kind of plants or considering alternatives of the same colour. Otherwise, you might have to spend more money trying to redo and repaint your fences to match your garden. The last and probably one of the most important things to consider in designing your fence is the type of material to be used. Some materials may not be cut out for certain designs and vice versa. It is best to contact fencing companies for expert advice when it comes to appropriate types of materials to be used. Smarter Fencing even offers perimeter security type of fencing which can protect you and your family from intruders.
