Since late summer is such a hot time of year, maybe you could spruce up your residential fences with some fence-friendly vines. Here’s some advice on how to get it done!
One way to make your residential fence more attractive is to decorate it. Whether you want to do so with art created by your family or something a bit more unconventional, the choice is up to you. Since late summer is such a hot time of year, maybe you could spruce up your residential fences with some fence-friendly vines. Here’s some advice on how to get it done!
On Wooden Fences
When you are adorning wooden fences, you’ll have to be careful when choosing the right vine. Annual, herbaceous non-woody vines are your best bet. Some suggestions we have for you include morning glory, moonflower, sweet pea, and climbing nasturtium. They’re airier plants, which means less moisture buildup, and bloom into beautiful flowers that can liven up your summer garden as it bursts back into life as well.
On Vinyl Fences
Vinyl fences are much more durable than wooden fences. That means you won’t have to worry about vines pulling your fence down to the ground. Try climbing vines like coral honeysuckle and clematis. These perennial vines climb easily, can give you plenty of coverage on a quick turnaround, and reach the top of the fence inside one growing season.
On Aluminum Fences
Now, let’s talk about aluminum residential fences. These fences are also highly durable, much like their vinyl counterparts. The open-lattice framework is a great backdrop, too. Experiment with wisteria, climbing hydrangea, rambling roses, and even grapevines. You will see full coverage after a few growing seasons, with wonderful color and aromas appearing as well. Plus, you can use the thorny bougainvillea as a deterrent against potential intruders who might want to hop over your residential fence and barge into your yard.
Additional Advice
Please keep in mind that woody vines and invasive species are not good for residential fences and as such, should not be invited anywhere near your landscape or garden. You can also take the time to visit plant nurseries to see what options are available along with tips on how to corral vines and keep them under control.
