No. 41 Fences & Gates · Coastal
Cedar and Hog Wire Garden Fence
Enclosed by dune grass near a shingled house, this cedar garden fence features hog wire panels, a matching latching gate, and raised wooden planter boxes filled with herbs and blooming perennials.
Design notes
Coastal design lets the light do the work. Look for weathered cedar shingle and white trim, bleached or grey decking, cable or rope railings, and a palette of sand, driftwood and sea-glass. Planting is grasses, hydrangeas, beach roses and anything that tolerates salt and wind; furniture is teak or wicker with white cushions. Keep surfaces matte and colours pale, and the mood stays breezy even miles from the shore.
What to look for
- Height, and whether the top is capped or open
- Which side faces out and how posts are spaced
- Planting on both sides so the fence reads as a hedge line
