Getting Creative with Chain-link Fencing
How to Be Creative with Your Chain-link Fence in Surrey BC
Earlier this month we published an article on “How to Think Smart When Installing a Fence in Surrey BC.” Our first recommendation to thinking smart involves the help of Mother Nature. This going-green option will not only save you money on installing a cheaper variation of fencing, but can also provide a creative outlet for you to show off your beautiful garden! This article will provide you with some more tips on how to work with Mother Nature and be creative with your chain-link fence.
DIY for Covering Chain-Link Fences
Covering chain-link fences with plants has become a popular option for the do-it-yourselfer. You can find dozens of ideas (like this one) on the Internet with a simple search, or come up with something unique on your own – the possibilities are endless!
Creative Fencing Considerations:
1) Do you want to introduce some colour into your garden, or do you prefer uniform green? This will help you narrow your choices down to either flowering or foliage vines.
2) Next, what degree of maintenance are you looking to put in? An evergreen vine will require the least amount of gardening time and will stay green year-round, but a deciduous vine (where the leaves will fall off at maturity) will yield brilliant colours in the autumn season and can arguably save costs on watering and prove healthier in the long run. Amongst the deciduous types, you should also take into consideration the difference between annual and perennial vines. Annuals will return year upon year, whereas perennials have only one life and will not return after the winter.
3) We recommend going to one of Surrey’s many garden shops and asking your local garden professional on what kind of plant will suite your fencing needs best. With the growing vibrancy of the beautiful City of Surrey underway, don’t let your yard be the break in the chain!
