A fence has a street-facing side and a house-facing side. The first more often appears in photos, the second accompanies everyday use of the property. Metal fence pickets are worth choosing with both perspectives in mind. From the garden side, crossbars, connections and the rear surfaces of the profile appear. They do not have to look identical to the front, but they should form an orderly whole. Keeping to one colour principle and a similar finish for all connections helps. The structure is then legible, even if it remains visible. A good design does not end with the colour of the most representative side. Check the view from windows, the terrace and the most frequently used path. At these points the fence may occupy a large part of the field of view. Note which crossbars will run at eye level. It is not about removing necessary supports. It is about consciously planning their colour and their relationship to the rhythm of the pickets. The internal view also deserves a design.
