Fences are the poor man's wall: they might not prevent someone from trespassing, but they'll certainly imply that you would rather that they didn't. Or as Robert Frost put it in his poem, “Mending Wall,” "Good fences make good neighbours." But does that mean you can become a better neighbour by making a better fence? Maybe!
Bored Panda has put together this list of fantastic fences to inspire you, dear neighbours, to be even better. Have a fence but no neighbour on the other side? Put a bird on it, and watch potential neighbours flock to set up shop next door! Or, if a bird doesn't do the trick, then check out some of these radical fences below. Vote on your favourite, or upload pictures of your own fencing. (h/t)

These are all cute!!! Although I hoped to find at least one picture of the fences turned up into coloured pencils, that I saw in a couple of places. Looks so cute. Artsy, but non-pretentious, and childlike.
Wonderful ideas! These people did take their backyard fence to the next level! Will check with a local fencing company, see if they can do it themselves.
So many clever and wonderful ideas. Thrilled that mine was included. Here is a better shot of the rustic HOPE fence. hope-fence...1db034.jpg
