Are you tired of that bald or old fence in your garden? Now you can of course immediately buy a new modern fence, but pimping your old fence is much cheaper, more durable and actually more fun. Pimping a fence is not that difficult and you get a unique look with it.
After all, you really make it your own fence, unique in its kind and exactly to your taste. No inspiration? Don’t worry, we give you great ideas to pimp the fence!
pimping the fence; 13 creative ideas
1. Nice tan
The simplest way to pimp your fence is to use a paintbrush. Choose a color (or several colors) that makes you happy and simply paint your fence.
It becomes a beautiful whole if you apply a color theme in your garden and extend this to your fence. Realize that it is precisely that fence that has a major impact on the atmosphere of your garden because it covers a very large surface!
2. Plantenschutting
Do you have a fence with horizontal slats, with spaces in between? Then you can easily get started with balcony planters.
After all, you hang this up like this and if you vary in colour, size and different flowering plants, then there will be a beautiful piece of decor on your boundary.
Of course you can hang planters on any fence when pimping, but then you have to get started with other hanging techniques.
Hanging plants can also obscure the view of the fence itself, so that can also be a great idea. As an illustration, a piece of ‘hanging plant decor’, but you can also apply this to a fence. Or the technique with the balcony planters. How much you hang on it is of course entirely up to you!
But simply putting plants in the garden and letting them run along your fence is of course also possible. Climbing plants are ideal for this, such as ivy, climbing rose, jasmine, clematis, tendril or wisteria.
Pay attention to whether or not they can stand in the sun. If you offer the plants the desired living environment, they will do better. Many plants in the garden are not only beautiful, but of course you also help nature with them.
3. Plant bags
Plant bags also look great on your fence. You can read more about it in this blog about your own vegetable garden.
You can often buy them at a garden center where they are already filled with plants. Choose a plant bag with flowering plants in it that can get your approval and simply hang it up right away!
4. Lots of cans of tulips to pimp your fence
Another example of plants on your fence, but slightly different. Don’t use jars, but use cans! This looks fantastic with these spring flowers. Now just hope you don’t have to water it all yourself…
If you want to make it even more playful, you can give the cans all a different color.
5. Garden poster
You can also pimp your fence by hanging a nice, large garden poster. The bigger it is, the more influence it has on your garden atmosphere. You can simply take a photo on canvas and then opt for garden canvas.
So would you like to give a tropical touch to your garden? Then choose a poster of a bounty beach, for example. Are you crazy about the real Dutch polder life? Then cows are a great idea!
6. Hang boxes
You can also pimp your fence by hanging boxes. A requirement is that the fence itself is still in good condition, and not too rickety.
You can also use plants in the boxes, but the nice thing about the boxes is that you can also put completely different things in them. I wanted a Western atmosphere myself and put cowboy boots in a box.
In the example there are boxes filled with wood blocks. The combination with the green in between is great. But of course you could also put nice garden statues in it. Or do something fun like a bottle of wine with glasses.
You can also go for different types of boxes, which you try to arrange with each other as nicely as possible. Then you immediately get a completely different idea.
7. A vertical garden
Let your fence disappear behind all the plants. And then in such a way that there are no pots or containers to be seen, but really only plants. In this example, a trellis is used where the plants hang behind. You can see how to make this in this video. Fantastic to make such a garden for butterflies.
8. Pimping an overgrown fence
Maybe pimping isn’t quite the right word here, but I think this example of a fence is worth mentioning. How beautiful is this! Grass that grows against the fence!
To be honest, we have no idea how this was made, but to pimp your fence like this is really cool.
9. Pimp your fence for the dark
When it gets dark it is of course nice to have lights in the garden. You can hang it under your roof, but of course you can also use your fence for this.
You could hang beautiful lanterns with fake lights in them. Or you hang a light cord along your fence. But it can also be more creative. Hang old jam jars with tea lights in them! Make sure that the strings are very tight around the pots, otherwise it will of course fall to the ground.
You can also watch this video to see how to make a pendant (as you can do for plants).
10. Make branches rill
Do you have a lot of trees or shrubs and therefore enough pruning waste? Then you could also make a branch groove against the fence. Small birds will also feel very at home in such a twig!
If you would like to see, hear and help birds, then it is definitely a good idea. The wren and the robin are certainly happy with this. But also the hedge sparrow.
11. Paint a beautiful mandela to pimp your fence
It is of course most practical for this idea if the fence is somewhat ‘flat’.
You can actually just hang anything on your fence, but it is of course also very cool to paint such a beautiful mandela on it. Pimping your fence is then a piece of cake (there are stencils for sale for this) and you still have something special.
12. Pimp an empty outside wall instead of the fence
If you have an empty outside wall instead of a fence to pimp, then this is also a cool idea. You can also put it together yourself with some wooden beams.
13. A fun water course
Do you like funny details and being creative? Then this is probably something for you to place on your fence!
A nice waterway to drain the rainwater. You can let the water run into an old bucket just like here (and start a mini-pond in it), but you could also put a rain barrel at the bottom. Then you can use the rainwater to wash your windows or water the plants.
Or make it into something fun for the kids to play with!
13. Artistic fence
The above wonderful idea to pimp your fence immediately turns it into a work of art. Even with old corrugated iron.
Provide fun colors and other patterns. Of course you can also do this with other materials. And actually you could also think of different shapes. Let your creative mind run wild and give it your own personal twist!
