How to Draw a Vinyl Fence
A fence is not only an entrance to your lawn or home but it also beautifies your landscape. Garden gates made of vinyl are durable, easy to install, and inexpensive. Drawing a vinyl fence helps you visualize and define the perimeter of the fence on your property. Look at photos in books, magazines, or the Internet to get ideas on how to draw one.
Materials
- Sketch Book
- Colored Pencils
- Eraser
- Ruler
- Tape Measure
Instructions
- Use your tape measure to measure your property so that you will know how much fencing you will need. This will help you to know the proportions for your sketch.
- Call 811 to inquire about underground cables in your yard. Always call before you dig.
- Draw out a rough sketch of the fence on a piece of paper using the drawing pencil. You can make this rough sketch by first marking the fences upper and lower ridges, highlighting specific post areas.
- Research the standard poles and fence pieces so your sketch will reflect accurate measurements of the pieces sold at your local home improvement retailer.
- Sketch a clear outline of the fence so that you can use this you can refer to later on.
- Add inner details to the drawing by making marks that you want to stand out such as the position of the panels or pole crowns. Include patterns but make sure that you do not shade your drawing and that you follow the outline so that the drawing retains proportion.
- Add extra decorative details and color if desired. Use your sketch as a guide as you build your fence.
