No. 34 Fences & Gates · Mid-Century Modern

White Timber Pool Fence and Gate

Outside a mid-century brick home, a low white pool fence with a matching gate encloses a concrete pool deck bordered by flagstone paving, yucca plants, and ornamental grasses under daylight.

Design notes

Mid-century modern design lines everything up with the house. Look for flat roofs and post-and-beam overhangs, walls of glass, breeze-block screens, terrazzo or large concrete pads with gravel joints, and a rectangular pool set square to the architecture. Planting is sculptural and sparse — agave, yucca, olive, citrus, a Mediterranean fan palm — and colour comes from a single accent: an orange door, turquoise water, a yellow umbrella.

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
