This year, we plan to build our house, and since patience is not really our strong suit (okay, which I think is understandable, because we are fulfilling our lifelong dream), we have already talked today about the garden fence and, of course, the gate as well.

The fence should primarily be an eye-catcher in front of the house and also durable and low-maintenance. We are not worried about the costs... What matters is that the quality and value for money are right.

We appreciate any tips!

Of course, it always depends on the design.
I think it’s a good option. Everyone has different tastes.
Even combined with wooden elements, in my opinion it creates a clean look.


Garden along a beige stone wall with a planting bed, sculpture, and lawn.

Garden with green lawn, bush, wooden fence with white base, and trees in the background.

Wooden fence with stone foundation at the edge of the garden, modern privacy screen fence.

Front garden of a house with wooden fences, stone pillars, steps, Buddha statue, mailbox.

Personally, I find these solid walls... all that's missing are cameras on top and barbed wire.

In my opinion, this impression (cameras, barbed wire, etc.) is also due to the height of the wall or fence.
If built at a height of 1 meter (3.3 feet), I don’t find it really bad.
When you see them in person, they actually look quite elegant.

Additionally, for example, wooden elements can be spaced apart so that the fence is not completely closed.
It depends on what you want (privacy screen or more open).

Gabions, 1.10m (3 ft 7 in) high, great; 2.10m (6 ft 11 in) Berlin Wall height.

I wouldn’t base my decisions on the neighbors but rather on what I like.
