Fences are a vital part of every garden. Giving you your own outdoor area, sectioned off, as well as keeping unwanted visitors out of your area. But what colour should fences be painted?

For starters, if you ware wanting to keep your fences following the natural outdoor theme of your garden, we would recommend you paint them either green or brown. This will help them to flow with the rest of your natural garden, and not be too over the top.

However, if you are after something different, people are leaning towards painting their fences grey. Due to this not being too bright, yet not the general colour you would see fences.

Some people are also choosing to decorate their fences. One of the most popular choices is to have flowers which can grow up your fence. Other families with children are choosing to decorate with activities for them, such as chalkboards or water pipes.
