When it comes to enhancing the beauty and functionality of your outdoor space, lighting can make all the difference. At Rugged Fence, we believe that a well-designed fence is more than just a boundary—it’s a canvas waiting for the perfect illumination. Incorporating lighting into your fence not only elevates its aesthetic appeal but also adds a layer of safety and security to your property. In this blog, we’ll explore ways to integrate lighting into your fence, showcasing how this combination can transform your outdoor area into a stunning, well-lit haven.
Benefits of Fence Lighting
Illuminate: The obvious benefit of fence lighting is making that area more visible! At night, it can often be too dark to see the driveway while pulling into your garage or the steps leading up to your front door. Either way, fence lighting can help illuminate your residence and make it easier to navigate the outside of your home.
Beautify: Fence lighting is one of the best ways to create your ideal ambiance for either your backyard, front yard, or both! Depending on the lighting you use, you can make your outside space feel warm and cozy or bright and lively.
Secure: Have you ever turned on your home’s lights when you are gone for the night so a passersby believes you are at home? Well, fence lighting can do the same thing. Depending on the type of lighting you get, you can time your fence lights to always turn on at night to show that someone is currently in your home, even when you aren’t, to prevent burglaries or break-ins.
Types of Fence Lighting
Different fence lighting gives your space a different feel or is designed to match a certain fence style. We’ve listed five different fence lighting options that you can employ for your fencing!
Spotlights
Placing spotlights on the ground upwards toward your fence is one way to give your fence a grand feel while also extensively illuminating it, giving it an uplight effect.
Floodlights
Place floodlights at the base of your fence and point them away from it either slightly downwards or horizontally to light up patios and driveways!
String Lights
String lights are versatile for any fence but work great for backyards looking to have that warm bistro feel. You can either use string lights along your fencing or string them across the backyard so you get overhead lighting.
Garden Lights
Garden lights are often pretty unique in their design, with some mimicking flowers or portraying creative, colorful designs on the ground. You can use garden lights at the base of your garden fence to liven up your garden at night or stick them in your lawn to illuminate a pathway.
Bollard Lights
If your fence has posts, you can place bollard lights on top of them. They are great for a classy, elegant look. They usually look like lanterns or circular bulbs.
With each of these fence lighting types, you can experiment, such as using fewer lights or softer lights to create a soothing ambiance. But overall, be as creative or simplistic as you like to match your fence lighting with the vibe of your home and family!
