Fence colour dilemma

Hi all
Due to have work on garden next week for my end terrace, and I’m having a new picket fence at the front and fence panels at the side.
I’m after colour opinions, front door is purbeck Stone f&b, and brickwork is reddish.
What colour (probably will use Cuprinol range ) do you think I should go for for fencing?
I’ve a shed at the back which is a very dark brown. Do dark colours recede, ie if fencing at back was dark would it make my garden larger looking. Obviously it would hide dirt more, or should I plump for colour similar to front door.
Any advice greatly appreciated!

HELP! Colour dilemma - what colour walls with a beech unit?
Comments (3)Might sound crazy but a subtle two tone might work not colour blocking but a gradual subtle shade diff a soft off white blue grey teal on top that will not fight against the very bright white window frames and keeping a small room light.. and then getting to a soft blue grey darker teal colour with a soft graded border. And consider painting the unit soft white with an all surface soft white mat or soft sheen paint. Pop up a large piece B&W family photo or a family picked piece of wall art or something wacky like a giant gold fish on a white background framed in a thin bright orange frame and job done...or look up dark snugs/dens with rich bold colours can work well if done correctly .. good luck.....See MoreGarden fence post dilemma
Comments (8)Agree with Oasys. Where wooden posts could rot is in the ground however, so make sure they are properly protected at ground level and the timber isn't actually touching the earth. Colour wise you could perhaps consider an ash-white exterior wood stain for the posts. I really like the colour if your panels....See MoreGarden space design dilemma + fence privacy
Comments (7)You need to know the orientation of your garden before you plant anything. Where do you get morning sun, where do you get evening sun? If you want to use the trellis you will have to put some tension wires along the wall to help your climber reach it, unless you grow something like ivy which will cling without support, but in the long term will undermine your wall. There are quick growing climbers and often younger plants take root quicker than larger ones, because the larger ones can resent being moved. Try not to be in too much of a hurry. Half the fun is in the doing and watching things grow....See MoreFence Panels and Stakes Colour Dilemma
Comments (18)Afternoon everybody. So here is the latest image of the garden. Slowly getting there. I have noticed a weird thing in that when rain water hits the patio, it collects in the areas marked with arrows. The areas collect water, dirt and leaves and looks unattractive on the eye. It's also important to note that the texture of the Indian Sandstone paving tiles has ridges or patterned wells in some of the tiles if that makes sense. The texture isn't flat smooth for every tile. Some tiles have a natural gap, which I believe collects the water and prevents it from running down and off. Is there anything I can do about this? As you can see from the image, the garden is bone dry on the whole but pretty horrible in the said/arrowed areas. Thanks for your support....See Morepeachypear
