Decorative Wire Mesh Fence Accessories
2/29/2012
One way to add some privacy to your outdoor spaces is to put up a fence. But although wire mesh fences serve this purpose well, they can be rather visually boring. So get creative and break up the monotony with a few decorative fence accessories. * Odds and Ends * Beautiful Lights * Plants and Flowers * Decorative Bamboo
Make an accent out of whatever strikes your fancy. The possibilities for what to mount or hang on your mesh fences are endless: wind chimes, wall fountains, doors, iron grates, ship's porthole windows, baskets, driftwood, wreaths, wall sconces or copper, stone or wood carvings.
Firstly, mount a shelf on the fence, just one to hold several candle holders, or one shelf every few feet, or whatever works best on your wire mesh fence. Punch holes in cleaned, empty tin cans or soup cans, place a candle inside, set them on the shelves and light them. The twinkling, flickering lights created by these low-priced luminaries provide interest and atmosphere to an outdoor space. This idea is not only pretty but also simple and inexpensive.
Bring your fence to life by dressing it up with plants and flowers. Hang lattice panels and train climbing roses to grow over them. Or mount some shelves on which to place flowerpots. Put up some planter boxes full of bright greenery and colorful blooms. Attach hooks for hanging plants. Be sure the colors of the leaves and flowers of the plants you select match or complement the colors of your outdoor space.
Use a decorated bamboo panel as a mesh fence accessory. Bamboo fence panels are lightweight and inexpensive, and the wood holds up well to exterior use. You can cut designs or patterns into the panel. Or paint it bold colors, or just treat it with a glossy coat of clear.
