Coloured garden fences

Ours us a pale sage green. Its a new house and garden so we wanted to the fences before we grew what we hope to be a lot of shrubs and small trees which would look good against a pale colour. We planned to paint it a pale grey but the green was half price and we couldn't resist the bargain.

Ours was supposed to be Autumn Gold, I think - but it looks orange to me. Neither my DH or I can be bothered to change it, even though it looks ghastly.

Fence looks great Merlotgran. Exactly what I’m looking for.
Thanks for the tip Ellianne, I’ll try to find that programme tomorrow.

No fence now but my last house, over looked by other brick houses was much improved when we painted the fence Forest Green. The contrast in colour brought the eye back into the garden.
My OH used to spray it but like you Nonogran, wasn't confident to spray. But what a job! Went on and on and .....!
Happy not to have that job any more.

If you can look back at "Your garden made perfect" episodes, there was one this month in a disabled lady's garden that explained all about choosing black fences.

We painted the garden furniture a sort of soft sage green. If it wasn’t so expensive we’d have painted our brown fence the same colour.

My shed is green but my fencing is dark brown. It was green previously but I wanted a change.

A neighbour 2 doors away have painted their fencing and shed a silver-grey and it looks lovely.

No it doesn't, Peasblossom because it's a south facing fence. Green foliage looks cooler against it during the summer.

Wood-colour here - I wouldn’t say no to a natural looking green though.
I wouldn’t want anything else, especially not black - I loathe anything black in the garden.

Does it make the garden a bit gloomy merlotgran? I do quite fancy a dark grey but it’s not a big garden, but not a small patio one either.

My fence won’t be covered in climbing plants as I’m trying to cut down on the work.

At the moment it’s three different shades of brown as I’ve had to have it replaced bit by bit over the last couple of years.

I don’t want to hijack the thread but I really need some help?

Urban Slate (dark grey). It makes a great background to plants in large pots.

Any chance of photos to help those of us who can’t decide.
I’d especially like to see the black BBevan as that’s what I’m thinking of as a nice backdrop to many shades of green.

Well the fences are fence coloured, but we painted a rendered wall lilac, I’m thinking of buying some matching garden furniture.

Mine is Cream and is made of steel, so no upkeep required, and I love it.

Black. All fences, oil tank screen and sheds Matt black.

Yesterday and today (and likely the rest of this week) I have been painting my fence Golden Harvest! Gosh it's hard work but my chap who would usually do it is elsewhere in the UK & I'm not confident enough to use the sprayer! Previously it was a Red Cedar kind of colour which was very strong and which I never liked. The new colour is softer. I regret I don't have the courage to go blue or green!
My new shed arrives on Thursday which will probably be painted blue and white in a few weeks, after I've had a rest!

Oops guilty pang here, new fencing erected in the autumn, it’s treated, but not painted/stained yet.

Brown and boring as is all the garden furniture. I'm going to try to persuade DH to paint it blue this year.

Azure blue. It came up darker than I expected, but looks quite classy

Ours is wood coloured-we kept it the way it was when we moved in, give or take a slight variation in the treatment shades.

*blue-grey (autocorrect!)

Mine is natural wood colour.
My neighbours have painted their side and (of course) here and there the paint us seeping through.
Very annoying.

My daughter in law painted theirs two shades of blue-gray.
Not my choice.

I'm quite happy with natural but aged wood which I creosote annually.

Green. Though I'm thinking about casting caution to the wind and painting it blue to match the benches.

Mid green, makes the garden look bigger
