  1. These pictures give me a lot to think about as I try to decide what kind of fence I would like to put in my yard. Of these pictures, I think that I like the look of the bamboo fence the most. The look is plenty simple, but at the same time is very unique and, in my opinion, very classy.

  2. I like the marble fence and the mural. Some of these ideas would raise a lot of eyebrows (and trouble with zoning) in some neighborhoods.

  3. I was very much thrilled with all the artistic fence work done. The stone barrier fence has a long sustainable life span. Thank for the information it gives insight of how to think broadly and share the information to others.

  4. Wow, these are some really amazing fences! I absolutely love that chalkboard fence, especially since I have a few young children. I think that something like that would get them outside more often too!

  5. That marble fence and the mural one as well are so beautiful! I am a painter myself and I know that I would love to paint something like that on my fence. It would be nice to be able to just look out and see something that is so interesting to look at. I think that the marble idea would be really simple to do and would look so beautiful on those really sunny days. Thank you for sharing these really inspiring fence ideas!

  6. Good stuff, FarhanAhsan. Very clean and well organized. You’d be a fun neighbor.
