A wood fence used to be the only type of fence one could build for their home but now there are so many options and choices of materials that wood has become just one of the things you can opt for.

To make a fence look modern you have to think out of the box and to distance yourself from the usual designs that come to mind.

If you prefer something more exotic, choose a wood that reflects that such as bamboo or some other type.
