Need help for a more private fence line
Comments (12)A nice invasive running bamboo would be the ticket to isolation. Where are you worried about it invading - your neighbor? When it invades your gravel areas, you cut out the running root, big deal. If you built a wall, you would have to maintain that, would you not? I am renting a house that is less than ten feet(3 m) from the highway right-of-way, but about another 20'(about 6 m) from the actual roadway, which is about 5' (150cm) above my first floor. As the road curves, it passes both first and second floor bathroom fulll-size windows, yeh. Bamboo to the rescue! We are saved by the lovely self-sustaining bamboo. No fertilizing, no watering, just an occasional clipping of its toenails, each spring. It doesn't soften the sound of the Harley's though. To keep the bamboo from crawling out of its crib, install a galvanized or aluminum edging that goes down 6-12'(15-30 cm) to contain these babies from escape. And let the neighbor go back to Dungeons & Dragons or Sesame Street for their entertainment....See MoreNeed help with fence line plantings!
Comments (1)I have a soft spot for natives. Have a look at the Gardening with Angus site. I'd consider correas or the new type of more compact bottle brushes. Beautiful colours available with long flowering periods....See MoreNeed help choosing a colour for a fence
Comments (7)The underside and edges of the concrete balconies in "Ironstone" or "Ticking". If you paint the balcony railings in the same colour or black, they will visually disappear and you will be able to see onto the balconies and inside the apartments. By painting the railings in light colours like white, whitish grey, or a light colour similar to the bricks, the street viewer's sight will be stopped at the railing. This will provide a modicum of privacy on the balconies. For the fence, an orange/ochre will tie-in with the apartment's brick colour. i.e. a warm grey with red or ochre tint in it. The pillar crowns and the capping bricks on the wall in Ironstone/Ticking. Or you could just paint the whole fence in Ironstone or Ticking. If graffiti is an issue in the area, dark colours may attract it. My inner city Perth front courtyard rendered brick fence is a burnt orange and has never been graffitied but the gas meter box which is painted Ironstone always gets targetted. To get an idea of the visual effect of colours, look at the two cars parked out the front. You tend to look "at" the white car on the left (a blocking colour), but you look "through" the dark car on the right and it tends to "disappear" from sight....See MoreNeed Help For Suggestions on Fence Railing Colour between Brick Pillar
Comments (6)A bit hard to know what to say here if it's only the fence colour you are wanting opinions on. I would definately go for black or dark charcoal for the fence, but I agree that it may not work with the house. The problem is the cream colour is very outdated. If you put a cream fence it will work better with the house as it is now, but then you are stuck with an outdated colour scheme. If it was me I would probably do a dark charcoal fence, and then slowly work on updating the colour scheme of the actual house - for example, the same charcoal for the garage doors, posts, colourbond fence, shed etc. But it would come down to budget, I guess....See MoreKaren Lee
