How to Decorate Vinyl Fence

In a yard full of beauty, you need a vinyl picket fence to set privacy boundaries. But a beautiful yard with a monotonous vinyl picket fence will destroy the overall beauty, so we need to decorate the picket vinyl fence to make the overall layout better.

Pay attention to privacy

Another purpose of decoration is to ensure adequate privacy. We can hide the vinyl picket fencing through plants. Install the planter or basket directly on the wood. Many pots are made from flat sides or side hooks for vertical installation. Window boxes are also a good choice because they usually have hooks so you can hang them on the vinyl picket fence without having to paste them permanently. When you grow to a certain growth period, the vinyl picket fence is completely covered, and privacy can be guaranteed.

Make use of its flexibility

• Go Green with Vines

Plant perennial or annual vines beside or in front of your picket vinyl fence, and train them to climb up and over the vinyl picket fencing or to spread out along the face of the planks. This will take time, but within two growing seasons your vines will nearly double in size. Although many vines will not scale a wooden vinyl picket fence, there are a few easy ways to get vertical growth.

• Let the Moss Grow

An easy way to cover or dress up a shady vinyl picket fence without messing with pots or soil is to spray it with a moss mixture. With a little time and moisture, the moss will germinate and grow right on the wood. All you need is two handfuls of fresh moss (from a nursery or just picked from your yard or the woods), two cups of buttermilk, and two cups of water. Get an old blender and mix up these ingredients. Then, grab a hose and give your picket vinyl fence a nice rinse. Pour your‘moss milkshake’ into a spray bottle and spray it on the moist planks, or use a paintbrush and paint it on. To get creative, paint it on in words or pictures. Keep the vinyl picket fencing damp by giving it a light spray from the hose once a week, twice in drought conditions, and watch your moss grow!

Decide themes in advance

• Give It Color

A fresh coat of paint is an easy way to revitalize a boring fence. When choosing a color, think about what will highlight your landscape. If you have mostly greens and browns in your yard, pick something with a pop of color such as bright yellow or turquoise. If your garden is already colorful, go for something neutral but eye-catching like moss green, charcoal, or a rusty red.

If you like a more natural and rustic look, think about using a wood stain, which will bring out the natural luster and pattern of the wood itself. It highlights the earth tones, making them richer, deeper, and brighter.

• Make a Pattern

If you really want something eye-popping, consider painting a pattern instead of a solid color. This can be as easy as painting the planks in alternating colors. For a pattern like thick zigzag lines, houndstooth, or paisley, do a quick internet search for wall painting stencils. These come in every shape and size and are as easy to use on a vinyl picket fencing as they are on a wall. Prices range from around $20 to $60. To use them, simply put down a fresh coat of neutral paint, wait for it to dry, and then paint over your stencil in the color of your choosing for an instant "Wow!"

• Paint a Picture

Murals are certainly more involved and time-consuming, but you come away with a one-of-a-kind piece of art right in your own yard. Not artistic? Search for a local muralist in your area. Many are reasonable on price and, depending on the size of the fence, can have the piece done in one or two afternoons. Themes are unlimited and can include personal aspects like a favorite scene from a family trip, an important quote, a favorite book cover, or a dream destination. They can also be totally abstract.

Decorate with plants

• Flower basket

Hang the basket or box around the fence and use bright flowers. You can use any type of container for this item as long as you have a drain at the bottom of the hole. Add some hanging plants to it to achieve a waterfall effect.

• Climbing plants and flowers

Use a rope to tie one end to the stake on the ground and the other end to the top of the picket vinyl fence. You can hang up and down, or you can hang up and down. Plant climbing flowers such as morning light, clematis and ivy will grow the rope and cover your wooden fence to a spectacular color.

• Year round wreath

Hang a few garlands around your wooden fence and last for a year in most climates, such as vines. Let them maintain a natural look, or add flowers and vines to add color. You can even decorate them by adding different colors of bows, spring flowers, hearts, battery-powered lights or pine wood.

Decorate with extra materials in garage

Maybe you will leave the material when you decorate the fence, don't throw it away, it can be used to decorate the garage. After all, the garage is also part of your yard. The same style or materials will make your yard look more holistic, so that your decoration will do more with less.

You can place potted green plants at the garage door and use the same color garage door as your vinyl fence. This is the method most people will use. Or you can lead the green vine on the vinyl picket fence to the top of the garage door and let it grow along the edge of the garage door to become the green arch of your garage. This will make your yard more interesting and warm.

Don't let the vinyl picket fence be a barrier-free tool that protects your yard while ensuring beauty. Through the above methods and subjects, you can also adjust according to your own preferences, and finally achieve the results you want.
