I do love black doors and garages - actually never thought of a fence. I did have a black painted wrought iron one when I owned a victorian cottage.
Love it - looks fab !
Hello Poorgirl,
Black fences certainly look sharp, but in terms of maintenance, it would probably be easier to stain your fence rather than paint it. You'll still have to re-coat it when it fades, but wood stains tend to last longer and wear a lot nicer than paint, which can flake.
Good luck on the fence, and let us know how it goes!

Here is a picture on House and Home that is black fencing. I put in black fencing but maybe just put in black paint or just fence. I think it looks pretty sharp myself!
