Creative Alternative Uses For FencingOf course, everyone thinks of fences as bordering a property or section to cordon off an area and provide privacy, etc. But there are so many other uses of fencing that don’t just have to be used along the perimeter of your yard. Call the fencing experts at Twin Cities Fence to discuss any of these installations or discuss your next fencing project.

Garden borders: Chain-link fences and several specialty type fences become excellent ideas for bordering a garden area in order to keep unwanted wildlife from eating, perhaps literally, the fruits of your labor. Fences are much more stable than the standard post and netting that is installed as a DIY project. Fences can include gates and storage areas for wheelbarrows, tools, or even a composting area. The ideas are endless!

Garden trellis: A section of chain-link fencing or aluminum fencing can provide the perfect backdrop for a growing vine in the garden that needs support. Tomatoes, cucumbers, grapes, and many flowering vines can all benefit from this application. Throw out the stakes and twine. Use a section of fencing!

Balcony-level security or privacy: Perhaps you have a second-floor balcony or patio and need to ensure that the edges are safe. Consider fencing sections. What about in a duplex or apartment setting, where privacy is desired? A section of wooden privacy fencing is the perfect solution. The slats also allow for planters and planting boxes. The fence section then becomes extremely functional!

Walkway or driveway border: Driveways or long walkways and trails are best lined with a split rail fence. This helps to define the path, while providing a sense of security for those traveling the paths. As Minnesota gets buried in snow, the fencing now becomes about the only way to identify where the path or drive exists!

Corner fences: There are several spots where a corner fence is ideal. This includes only the installation of two or four sections of fencing that identify a corner. This can be nice at the corner of the property where you want to create visual impact. Two sections of privacy fencing can create a corner and provide nice privacy around a spa, hot tub, or patio.

I had a great experience with Twin Cities Fence. There was a delay with my installation start date, but once they started, they did an excellent job. Maynard and Jake were super friendly and did a great job!

I hired TCF for the demo and replacement of my 6 foot cedar fence of my house in Minneapolis. From the time of the first quote appointment until project completion, I only experienced polite, competent interactions with every member of the team. The quote was specific and included itemized options for cost transparency. And, they didn’t oversell, and were respectful of my decisions. Though start date was delayed by two days, they kept it to a two day project, did beautiful work (that will clearly last), and were super respectful of my space. These are nice people, I would hire them again!

Your installers were professional and hard working. Within one day they removed my old fence and installed my new fence. I was out of town so they kept me informed during the construction process. My neighbor who watched the fence being built said they were friendly and nice guys. Thanks! We love our new fence!!!!

Used TCF twice now. Both times there were actually able to move up install date and beat the competition. They also did a great job.
