Creative, Colourful and Quirky Garden Fencing Across Teesside
Across Stockton on Tees, Middlesbrough, Darlington, County Durham and North Yorkshire, people are finding new and creative ways to make their garden fences stand out. Here are some of our favourite quirky garden fence ideas to inspire you.
A Piano Garden Fence
This has to be one of the most creative fence ideas ever. A piano fence is ideal for music lovers and brings a sense of rhythm and fun to the garden.
How to paint a piano fence
Start with a clean wooden fence, preferably one with vertical slats or panels. Sand it lightly to remove any dirt or flaking paint, then apply an outdoor wood primer. Once dry, use masking tape to mark out your piano keys. Paint the wider slats white and use black exterior wood paint for the shorter black keys. A satin or semi gloss finish gives a lovely sheen. When everything is dry, apply a clear outdoor sealer to protect it from the weather.
Recycled Plastic or Glass Bottle Fence
For those who enjoy recycling and eco friendly garden projects, this colourful fence made from old bottles is a great idea. The light shining through the bottles creates a beautiful glow on sunny days.
How to make a bottle fence
Collect a variety of bottles in different colours and sizes. Carefully drill or melt a small hole through the base of each one. Thread them onto sturdy garden wire or bamboo canes and secure the ends between posts or within a timber frame. The result is a bright, playful garden divider that catches the sunlight perfectly.
Hand Painted Quirky Fences
A hand painted fence adds personality and colour to any garden. This idea works beautifully in family gardens, nurseries and schools.
How to create a hand painted fence
Start with a smooth, clean fence and paint it with a pale outdoor base coat. Once dry, decorate it with exterior grade paints or stains. Add flowers, butterflies, animals or any design you like. Let the paint dry thoroughly, then apply a clear varnish or weatherproof sealer to keep the artwork looking fresh.
Colouring Pencil Fence
A fence painted like a row of giant colouring pencils is simple, cheerful and fun. It looks lovely in creative gardens or near play areas.
How to make a colouring pencil fence
Use timber posts and cut the tops to a point to create a pencil shape. Sand the tips smooth and paint each post in a different colour using outdoor wood paint. Add a thin black line near the top of each post for detail. Finish with a clear protective coating.
Simple Colourful Garden Fences
A bright, colourful fence is one of the easiest ways to lift your garden’s look. You can paint each panel a different colour or create your own pattern.
How to create a colourful fence
Clean and sand your fence first, then paint it in your chosen shades using quality exterior wood paint. Bright blues, yellows, greens and reds all work beautifully together. Once dry, seal it with a protective outdoor coating to make the colours last.
Stay Safe and Enjoy Being Creative
Whatever design you decide to try, always make sure your fencing is properly secured and weatherproofed. Take your time, use good quality materials and enjoy experimenting with colour and texture.
