No. 23 Fences & Gates · Modern Farmhouse
Corten Metal and Timber Privacy Screen
Beside a white board-and-batten house, a steaming cedar hot tub rests on stone flagstones enclosed by a privacy screen of rusted corten metal and weathered timber slats alongside a gravel walkway.
Design notes
Modern farmhouse design keeps things honest: white board-and-batten or painted brick, black-framed windows and doors, standing-seam metal roofs, cedar posts and beams. Outside, that means gravel and bluestone rather than fancy paving, a big lawn, raised beds, a porch or pavilion with a fan, and simple furniture in black or natural wood. Lighting is gooseneck barn lights and warm string lights, never anything glossy.
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
