Fences are the poor man's wall: they might not prevent someone from trespassing, but they'll certainly imply that you would rather that they didn't. Or as Robert Frost put it in his poem, “Mending Wall,” "Good fences make good neighbours." But does that mean you can become a better neighbour by making a better fence? Maybe!

Bored Panda has put together this list of fantastic fences to inspire you, dear neighbours, to be even better. Have a fence but no neighbour on the other side? Put a bird on it, and watch potential neighbours flock to set up shop next door! Or, if a bird doesn't do the trick, then check out some of these radical fences below. Vote on your favourite, or upload pictures of your own fencing. (h/t)

Oh I so love this!! All these Sedums of various species growing in squarish angular boxes - a stark contrast between the organic living things and the non-living wooden boxes housing them

This is fantastic! I wish we'd thought of this when our kids were young.
