Fence color

6 years ago

What a dynamic outdoor space! Did the fence come in that color? If so, what is the material, color and source? Alternately, did you paint it? What is the color? Is this wood or vinyl? Many many thanks!

- Hi. Thanks! Originally, we wanted to build a new wood fence, but due to budget constraints, we had to make do with the existing vinyl fence installed by the original builder. It used to be a bland, glossy beige... so we found a Sherwin Williams "vinyl safe" paint and had them mix it to match a dark Farrow & Ball color called “Railings”. It's more blue than black, and is a softer alternative to black which is particularly suited to the ironwork it takes its name from. It provides an ideal backdrop for the greenery and other yard details we expect to grow even wilder with time...

Great - I was hoping that this was painted. We've inherited a vinyl fence that has to do for now, and I thought about painting it. I love love love this color you've chosen. Do you know how the paint is holding up? Vinyl is bad enough, but peeling vinyl....!

Many thanks for your response! I love the whole project!

I agree with Amanda and RWalton: Definitely black but I too question your use of a picket fence with a 60's cream brick - it will never read as 'right'. A paling fence, a metal slat fence, a combination of the two; but not pickets - they are from a totally different era.

Thanks everyone for your comments. Here is an example of the steel blades we are thinking of. I think monument (as per house) would look good and as the blades are narrow, won’t look too overpowering. I think the greenery of the garden will pop against the monument. The timber-look cladding is Decowood in chestnut colour. I want to limit this cladding to top leftcwyadrant if the

Your correct , the colours that you have painted do not compliment your home. If you want to use the tranquil retreat, and make your home more 'modern', I suggest repainting all the red trim on your home and fencing in a charcoal colorbond paint. Look at your neighbours roof in the photo. This compliments the fence colours more than the burgundy. If not happy, with changing your home, yes repaint all fencing and wall in classic cream.

PLEASE do not laugh at my sketch skills... it is the first time using it and am just trying to picture colours together :) so here is a pic of my house. On the left i have added the white fence and on the right it is the surfmist. I thought to go white slats on top of surfmist and a full white slat gate on the left because the white will match the pure white wall and aluminium and the surfmist part of the fence will match the garage door, that way it all ties in. What do you think?

Hi. I just checked in with the homeowner, and she says that the vinyl paint is good. No peeling. Best of luck with your fence face-lift, and thanks for the project love!
