The little black fence is our new must-have accessory for curb appeal. We’ve long been admirers of the clean, simple lines of hog wire fences, so it’s only natural that we’ve fallen hard for the dark elegance of black wire fencing.
Did we mention that black wire fences are easy on the budget? Whether you buy standalone panels or 150-foot-long rolls, you can expect to pay less than for a typical picket, panel, or woven fence.
How best to describe the black wire fence of your dreams? Whether you call it cattle fencing, wire mesh, hog wire, or just plain stylish, here are 10 options to consider.
