No. 15 Fences & Gates · Modern Farmhouse
Hog Wire Garden Fence with Gate
A timber garden fence inset with hog wire panels and a cross-buck gate encloses gravel paths and cedar raised beds filled with vegetable plants outside a white board-and-batten house.
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
