There are all sorts of things you can do to liven your picket fence!
A picket fence is a classic feature that gives a house that homey look and feel. It not only encloses your home and separates your property from your neighbors, it often completes the look of your outdoor living space and complements many landscape designs. As all your outdoor elements are exposed to the elements, your fence will also begin to wear the marks of weather and time. Liven up the look and extend the life of your fence with these helpful tips.
Repair
Once you go out and examine your picket fence, you may identify spots that require your attention. You may notice some chips or blisters in the wood, or even rotten sections. Before you spruce up the look of your fence, it’s important to ensure the integrity of its structure. Wipe down and wash your fence, then focus on any rotting, sagging, or other damage. Cut out and replace badly damaged panels, sand down other chips, or fill gaps in the ground that could be causing your fence to appear uneven. It is best to catch these kinds of issues early and then address them immediately. You don’t want a problem to progress.
Paint
Painting or staining your fence could be a fun and simple project to liven up its appearance. Choose a design concept and color story that will complement your home and landscape design. Go classic white or include colors that will add a unique atmosphere to your neighborhood. Keep in mind that the type of paint you choose could also help protect your fence from the elements and extend its life.
Plant
Exercise your green thumb to liven up the look of your picket fence. Adding plant elements would help your fence more seamlessly blend in with the other plant and flower features on your property. Flower beds along the ground or even climbing vines add color and enhance the look of your fence with elegance and beauty.
