It's true that good fences make good neighbors, as Robert Frost once wrote in his poem "Mending Wall." Fences provide both a visual and physical barrier between you and the rest of the world. Sometimes you need to implement some garden fence ideas to contain pets or keep the bunnies out of your lettuce patch. You may want a fence to give you some privacy so you can sit on your patio and enjoy a cup of coffee without feeling the gaze of onlookers.

Decorative fences add a splash of style to highlight a part of your gorgeous landscaping ideas or accent a planting bed. When choosing a fence, consider the style of your house and garden. For example, a traditional picket fence looks great with a cottage-style house. One with horizontal pickets would complement an Arts and Crafts-style home. That being said, picking out a fence is truly all about what you like, because it's a personal style statement as well as a functional part of your yard. Many fence ideas also fall under the DIY category, so you can save money if you can construct it.

To help you get started, take a look at these awesome garden fence ideas, perfect for any outdoor space.
