Tips for Transforming Your Security Steel Fencing into A Statement Piece in Your Yard

Posted on

If you want to keep your loved ones safe and protect your valuables from theft, you likely are contemplating the installation of security fencing around the perimeter of your property. The right security fencing will not only keep intruders at bay, but you can also use this structure to elevate the privacy of your property too. Steel supplies are the leading option for security fencing, and since this material is highly customisable, you can easily give your fence character, which will give it a decorative quality. Check out the following tips for transforming your security steel fencing into a statement piece in your yard.

Choose art deco as your preferred style

The main reason why many homeowners do not associate steel fencing with increased aesthetic value for their property is that these fences are usually not designed with any particular style in mind. Hence, you end up looking like you have simply put up barriers around your home rather than integrating fencing that will contribute to the visual appeal of your yard. To ensure that this happens, you should have a style in mind when planning for steel fencing installation and one solution that works for many properties is an art deco vibe.

The art deco style is characterised by lines and geometric shapes, so lean toward a contemporary design for your fencing. Smooth lines can help add visual interest without you having to sacrifice any privacy. Additionally, consider creating triangles or other shapes directly on the surface of the fencing with other metal supplies, for example, aluminium, that are weather-resistant.

Nurture a vertical garden

One thing you likely never think of correlating with steel security fencing is flowers or plants. Yet, these are exactly what could help with softening the appearance of this type of fence. Vertical gardens are popular across Australia. And although they are usually associated with the indoors or a focal wall at the exterior of the home, this does not mean that they will not translate well on fencing.

However, do not resort to the traditional appearance of climbing plants. Instead, think of out-of-the-box ways to add foliage and colour to the fence. One way of doing this would be by having planters built directly onto the steel fence. Brightly coloured planters can help with adding a pop of colour to this structure whereas the greenery can come from the vegetation inside.
