What are the special characteristics of small gardens and allotments?

In a small garden, every square metre is precious. Efficient space design means more than just filling every corner; it means making it visually appealing and functional. Typical challenges to overcome include:

Limited space for plants, seating areas, tools, and paths
The need for clear structure while avoiding overcrowding
Desired privacy despite proximity to neighbours
The wish for visual expansion and a harmonious garden ambience

Successful small garden design takes these aspects into account and integrates architectural elements like fences to structure the garden and create cosy areas. The right combination of materials, plants, and privacy screening determines the overall effect and can make your garden appear larger than it actually is.

The right fence for small gardens: Setting boundaries with style

A carefully selected small garden fence is more than just a simple boundary. It adds character to the garden, protects against prying eyes, and sets aesthetic accents. Several factors play a role here:

Defining space with style: Metal, wood, or wrought iron fences border the garden and provide structure without making it feel enclosed. Opt for a subtle design and light colours so the fence doesn't "overwhelm" the small space visually.
Harmony with planting: Fences can be ideally integrated into the garden design, serving as a support for climbing plants and offering scope for creative ideas. In this way, the fence merges with the natural surroundings.
Longevity & ease of maintenance: High-quality materials, such as powder-coated metal fences from ELEO, are characterised by weather resistance and minimal maintenance requirements. For long-lasting enjoyment!
