Backyard Makeover 101: Outdoor Rope Fence Ideas & Inspiration
Adding an outdoor rope fence to your space is a stylish and cost-effective way to mark off property lines, dress up the dock’s gangway, frame in a space, or accentuate hardscapes or landscapes filled with your favorite flowers or garden displays.
While many rope fences are purely for looks, there are some rope fence designs capable of giving your backyard or dock a completed look while keeping pets and kids in (or other things out!).
Today, we’ll show you some of our favorite outdoor rope fence ideas so you can start planning your backyard makeover with the perfect rope fence to tie it all together!
What Rope is Best for Outdoor Rope Fences?
Before we dive into your new outdoor rope fence ideas and inspiration, it helps to know what type of Rope is best for the job.
Synthetic Landscape Ropes like Twisted ProManila offer a natural-fiber look with unbeatable performance in outdoor weather. Made from polypropylene yarn, Twisted ProManila rope will maintain its strength, flexibility, quality, and longevity at a more affordable price versus natural Twisted Manila Rope.
If a natural fiber is necessary for your rope fence project, the Twisted Manila Rope is the best choice, thanks to its heavy-duty, all-purpose, weather-resistant nature. Similarly, Twisted Sisal Rope is another great natural fiber rope option. Regardless of the rope material you choose, outdoor rope fences tend to work best with rope thicknesses between 1”-2”.
