One side is a pink brick wall I wonder if a pink fence would match blend in or a contrast colour like green? The shed woukd be painted as well. Thanks for your help.

Comments (24)Just remembered I promised to post an update once the fence was finished. Here it is. Excuse the state of the bushes etc, they need a bit of tidying up, and a few more shrubs / trees / plants addes, plus I made the mistake of letting my father in law loose with the loppers on the hedge in the corner - never again! Happy enough with the fence colour though, thanks for all your help....See MoreHelp need on what colours to paint fence
Comments (5)If you are set on painting then go with a contrasting colour to the paving, a darker tone of grey for the horizontal slats. As for paint I would choose the Valspa decking paint from B&Q as this is much better wearing and seems to have a better coverage than fencing paints. Also this being designed for decks it does not need as much repainting as fence paint and to some degree be washed down. As for the fence around the lawn area it depends if you are planting around the borders or not. Whatever you do there the fence will go green under the overhanging foliage and will need to be cleaned on a regular basis. If it was me I would be tempted to leave it to weather naturally as once you start painting a fence, you will always be painting it to keep it looking good....See MoreWhat colour should I paint this fence ?
Comments (8)Hi Roxy. Lovely big garden to work with! I'm no professional except trying to remodel my own garden and have two boys myself so know where you're at! Found a couple of pics with dark green fence, I think its a nice colour although maybe not as modern as dark grey. I've just painted my side fence dark grey and its really made the flowers (love white flowers) pop as would any dark colour. Like the blackboard idea too, here, a can of blackboard paint is fairly inexpensive and you could attach a piece of painted ply to the fence to have the option of removing later/ when the boys grow up a bit. Another idea is add decking to your garden, my boys would have loved this sandpit a few years ago! It all depends how much money you have to work with (as do most things in this life).. I have plenty of great ideas but not necessarily the budget to match!!...See MoreWhat colour should we paint the walls and fence?
Comments (7)Personally I’d stick with white planters and go for a very dark fence. I’d go for low maintenance plants like grasses, hebes and box balls and plant a few alliums or verbena for pops of colour....See MoreTeresa Connolly
