69 People Who Took Their Backyard Fences To Another Level
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)

Tree Mural Fence Decor
Roy Campbell 5 years ago
I have zero artistic talent ! Is this a stencil ? Where can I find it ? Or similar ?
Glynis Lailann 9 years ago
One could enhance this fence by painting birdies on some of the pinnacles - just an idea.

Instead of the black dots, I would have drilled and incerted the colored marbles?

My mum has a vivid Lime green window on her back fence. It looks fabulous.

The sheer disorganisation of things appeals to me here. you should see my apartment to understand this? I do however wish there was a surreal image, or highly unlikely view painted on th fence behind the window!

We had this very territorial Blue tit in our garden once. It was fighting his own reflexion in the mirror. ;)

John Nathan Neil Dion 9 years ago
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

These are all cute!!! Although I hoped to find at least one picture of the fences turned up into coloured pencils, that I saw in a couple of places. Looks so cute. Artsy, but non-pretentious, and childlike.
Barnet Fencing 4 years ago
Wonderful ideas! These people did take their backyard fence to the next level! Will check with a local fencing company, see if they can do it themselves.
DL Wood 8 years ago
So many clever and wonderful ideas. Thrilled that mine was included. Here is a better shot of the rustic HOPE fence. hope-fence...1db034.jpg
