Help pls! Boundary/fence responsibility?
Comments (2)Agree with the above we live in a detached property. And found it in our deed that we actually shared equal responsibility for all three sides eek! luckily we have good neighbours we like their privacy....See MoreHelp - can't decide on fence paint colour
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 MoreUgly High garden Fencing-Help needed!
Comments (10)I really like the retaining wall too. I think perhaps painting the fence and the posts and gravel board a stone colour, rather like the wall may work. Of course one of the best things would be to plant in front of it. Things like Photinia, Viburnum tinus, Ceanothus and Choisya are all evergreen and pretty easy to grow. None need much tending except pruning if they get too big. Or you could grow some climbers. Ivy gets a bad rap but it is evergreen and will create a green wall. Things like Honeysuckle, Clematis, Roses and Star Jasmine add colour and fragrance but they will need something to climb up such as wires or trellis....See Moreembzop
