Equestrian or Horse Fence – Stylish and Practical

A stylish, vinyl Equestrian fence, also known as a vinyl horse fence isn’t just for barnyards. In fact, the horse fencing is a very vintage, yet fashionable style. It is a common theme in the suburbs and is considered the “open concept” of yards. A vinyl horse fence is the perfect “perimeter fence” because it frames a lot so well. It keeps your lot completely open visually and allows maximum airflow, but it is still tall enough to keep animals out. Also, it doesn’t cut your lot off or create the closed-off, secluded feel either. Aesthetically, the Equestrian fencing style is probably the most unique. It is also appealing in a variety of ways. A common theme, especially in a more suburban area, is to use horse fencing, or the “slat look” in the front yard. Often times homeowners will put a small section of horse fence at the corner of a garden to frame it while letting the end pieces fall into the ground. It acts as a structure for climbing plants and also is tall enough to discourage deer from destroying your foliage. Being slatted, it still permits plenty of water, sunlight and airflow to access plants.

Fresh Ideas Using a Vinyl Horse Fence

If you need a little more seclusion, yet like the design of horse fencing, try modifying the equestrian look. Surround your garden with a horse fence perimeter and attach chicken wire to the outside of the posts to create a solid background. This will keep the open air flow that your garden needs and also allow to your garden to retain its charm. The chicken wire will keep smaller animals or children from sneaking through the slats and destroying your plants. If you need a high-class, elegant structure for your yard and still want an equestrian design, try an alternative to wood or vinyl fencing. Some builders will use stone slats instead of the traditional wooden or vinyl posts. This makes a solid structure, similar to privacy fencing. It also makes attaching your slats more secure and more eye-catching to others as stone and metal are extremely popular trends.
