Modern Fence

One simple way to create a modern fence is to run the boards horizontally rather than vertically. In this case, the boards are varying widths and have a slight gap between them. This creates a subtle pattern that draws the eye without dominating the landscape. A very simple pergola over the gate marks the entrance to this property.

Metal Fence

Metals are the fastest growing of all fencing types due to the recent surge of interest in modern architecture. Tubular aluminum and steel has long been used for security and pool fencing, but landscape architects are discovering metal panels of all kinds make long lasting extensions of the architecture and its industrial material choices.

The primary innovation that has caused tubular metal fencing to grow in popularity is powder coating. Former coatings did not last, and staining of pavement due to rust from aging fences was a real problem. Aluminum was the only alternative but prices were higher for this material. With the widespread use of powder coating, tubular steel has become affordable, visually diverse and widely available.

Chain Link Fence

Chain link fences will never win a beauty contest, but when they are needed, no other fence type will suffice. The strength, longevity and adaptability of chain link, and its value to sports courts and home security make this fence one of the most common today. To respond to new needs and to make chain link more visually appealing, there are some useful adaptations that fit right in with residential projects.
