Garden Fencing Ideas With Redwood Palings That Have Taken Flight

William Heistand
by William Heistand
Fencing is a necessary inconvenience to a landscape design. I would prefer to border a property with plantings, a few boulders, or a low free stacked stone wall. Yet, we need our privacy, protect our yards and gardens, or simply screen a utility area.
A stylized egret shape cut atop redwood fencing palings has added an entertaining "not fenced in" charm to a variety of my fencing assignments. Because no two palings are alike, the one shape can be flipped, patterned and arranged in endless ways. These options and choices have made what at first seemed to be a task of inconvenience one to enjoy.

    Simply amazing idea! I like the selection of wood. Wood and the design it has given on the top of every fence panel is looking so natural and good. It is enhancing the house exteriors and also improving the security of this house. Lovely!
