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. Although it may be perceived as traditional or rustic, a wood fence can also look very modern. It all has to do with the design.

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. For example, instead of placing the wood boards vertically try thinking horizontally. You can either create a very compact design for the fence or you can create chic patterns. If you prefer something more exotic, choose a wood that reflects that such as bamboo or some other type.

There are numerous options to choose from when deciding on a design for a modern wood fence. And just because you’ve chosen to use wood doesn’t mean that other materials are out of the question. You can try a combination of materials and use wood and concrete for example. You’ll have a sturdy and durable fence with a simple and stylish design.
