Ever noticed how a fence can completely change the way a house feels? It sets the boundaries, defines the space, and gives everything inside a sense of purpose. For farmhouses, this is even more important.
But not all fences fit every farmhouse. Whether you’re raising animals, tending to a garden, or just enjoying your morning coffee on the porch, the right fence makes all the difference.
Let’s take a look at different farmhouse styles and the fences that suit them best.
Farm-Style Fence
Ideal for: Horse owners, animal lovers, and anyone who needs a functional yet attractive property divider.
For homes with horses, livestock, or large open fields, the fence is a necessity. It needs to keep animals safe, and still look good while doing it. A farm-style fence is the classic choice. Typically made of sturdy wooden posts with horizontal rails, it keeps animals contained while allowing definition and visibility across the property. It’s a strong and practical choice, and can be customized with wire mesh if smaller animals (like dogs or goats) need to be kept inside.
SimTek Composite Fence
Ideal for: Homeowners who value complete privacy and want a durable, stylish solution.
Some farmhouses aren’t about animals or big front yards. Instead, they become your secluded retreat and for that you have a SimTek composite fence that offers full privacy with a stylish, stone-like appearance. Unlike traditional wood, it won’t warp, crack, or need repainting. It completely blocks out outside noise, making it perfect for homeowners who want their own little escape from the world.
White Vinyl Picket Fence
Ideal for: Families, garden lovers, and anyone who wants a picture-perfect, easy-to-maintain fence.
If you are thinking of big front porches, rocking chairs, and homemade pies, then you also need a fence that feels just as welcoming. A white vinyl picket fence is the dream for the classic American Farmhouse. It defines the property without blocking out the world, letting in just enough visibility while maintaining a sense of structure. Unlike traditional wooden picket fences, vinyl is low-maintenance and doesn’t need repainting every few years. It’s perfect for homes with beautifully landscaped gardens, kids running around the yard, and neighbors who like to stop by for a chat.
Cannonball Wood Fence
Ideal for: Homeowners who love the natural, weathered look and want a sturdy, privacy-friendly fence.
A cannonball wood fence is perfect for rustic farmhouses that are all about character. Exposed wood beams, stone fireplaces, and a mix of old and new give them a cozy, lived-in feel. The wood’s natural grain and color variations add warmth and texture, making it a perfect match for homes with lots of greenery and open space. You would love it if you want privacy, and especially if you enjoy backyard bonfires and farm animals roaming the property.
