Posted: 13 Oct 2015 08:21 PM PDT For special fence installation, specially of cedar fence materials, Salem home owners can turn for the historic Deepwood Estate for inspiration. Salem’s Deepwood Estate will be the only position the place the general manifeste can see the handiwork of Lord & Schryver, the nationally recognized first female landscape architecture firm in the Pacific Northwest. The design of Deepwood Estate incorporates both natural and man-made fence elements. When it comes to garden fencing, there are quite a number of products and several styles to choose from. You however need to identify the supplies and style that go hand in hand with your preference and tastes. Besides this you should also consider the budget that you are willing to work with in order not to overspend. It is very easy to let the costs get out of control, particularly if you are new to fencing and don’t take the time to compare quotes from a variety of local specialists. The location of the fence is an important thing to consider, even before you start setting it up. You should carefully scrutinize the area in order to establish its size. This will help you decide on the quantity of products needed for the construction of the fence. Buying less than adequate materials is costly in term of time while buying more than what is needed might lead to unnecessary loses. You also need to decide on the shape of your fence. You are free to choose whatever shape you want including oval, triangle and round. These shapes are a break from the conventional square and rectangle shapes. If you want to add a wonderful country touch to your garden, building a country style fence is not as difficult, or as expensive as it might seem. Here at The Garden Glove, we wanted to add a gothic picket style for the front garden. However, purchasing and installing 150 feet of picket fencing was NOT in the budget. So we chose to add just two sections of fencing into the corners of the front drive as accents. We also used inexpensive supplies to create the fence. Using the low cost materials and keeping the amount of fencing small but in a focal point area kept costs way down. Wooden fences include hardwood and softwood, but sometimes the term “wooden” can stand for material that simply has the look and feel of wood – namely vinyl. Vinyl fencing should seriously be considered. While it’s a little more expensive up front, its maintenance costs are negligible, since it doesn’t chip, fade, rot, or become infested with bugs. It has a similar appearance and grain pattern to wood, but doesn’t need to be replaced. The post Garden Fencing Ideas appeared first on Design And Landscaping Ideas. |
