Thread: which fence design looks better ?

I like the white one. Matches the trimming on your house. Natural timber (I'm sad to say) seems to distract from the appearance of the house.

i agree with yor wife.

p.s. that means i am right.

ta mate. good point. But the wife likes that one too. ( you supposed to say you like the timber look geeeeeez)

suppose I wanted to do something a bit different. so many white picket fences around. always looked too bright to me. anyway

how'd you work out my wife likes the white pickets ?

The white one Jake, the white one.

But I'd talk to the bloke who put it up, he made a balls-up of a job. And it looks like you have an upside down unexploded ordinance outside your place too.

Put the fence up, if it doesn't look good then paint it.

Blokes Law #1 - women like painted pickets because they don't have to paint them .

Yeah, go the white.

Sorry Jake, but my vote is also for the white one.

I vote white too

Definitely NOT the natural timber.

What about a black picket fence? Seriously, black looks great on a fence. Looks like it would suit your house too though it is a bit hard to see the colour scheme.

I'd be painting it green to match the house, and getting that bomb removed.

Some of the neighbours put those up about 10 years ago. They looked odd while being built but pretty much as soon as they were done they looked fine. One house I think is white the other some sort of camel colour, another green. The white seems to work with any colour house, but maybe a pale green would be ok ?

Most of the other fences are post and rail wire. The pickets definitely pretty up a place.

How about paint it white on the outside and leave a nice timber finish on the inside . Your happy and she's jake .

I quite liked the first pic as like one of the others mentioned, makes the house stand out more. Im a fan of heritage colours so would be doing something with cream and dark green for the posts and a hint of red on the posts as well. bit hard to see the colours of the house on the pics but Id try and capture some of that colour but maybe deeper in the posts and the rest of the fence a lighter colour.
