1. Stone base with metal bars

Stone and steel sheets is a perfect combination that can look amazing and at the same time provide one of the highest levels of security. If you also opt for the see-through feature of the metal bars, you can highlight the exterior design of your home. If you still feel unsafe, you can add a horizontal steel bar that would enhance protection features without blocking house façade.

2. Grill in unusual patterns

Metal grills have been used by fence contractors since the beginning of the previous century. But they look dull without some additional design. To make them look appealing you can move away from traditional horizontal strips to irregular and even chaotic patterns. Use different materials, mix grills with bricks and even coated wood to create a sophisticated exterior boundary.

6. Green boundary

Green boundaries always look amazing and add warmth to the home’s design. The only “headache” with them is to ensure that the bushes are properly trimmed and taken care of. If you love countryside style then with a green fence you can transform your modern city house into a little island of the countryside. Add some trail vines or creepers along a metal fence or just grow ivy on a traditional stone wall in order to get a natural and effective boundary.
