Fence Patterns

Last year I decided that I needed one post that included all of my shingle patterns so that they were easy to find. Recently I realized that I should do the same with all of my fence patterns. Until I started compiling the fence patterns for this post, I hadn’t realized I had made so many! Unlike with shingle patterns, there are unlimited variations of fence patterns. As I continue to add additional fence patterns, I suspect I will need a second post, but for now this file includes the 12 fence patterns I have published in my house patterns up until now, plus two additional picket fence patterns. Look at the PDF I include with the SVG file for a quick visual of the fence patterns available to you.

The SVG and PDF files include the fence pieces in S Scale (the size of the houses on this website.) However, fences can vary wildly in height, from lawn edging to 7 foot high fences (the maximum height in the county I live in.) Think about varying the sizes of the fences in your village if you want even more variety. If you need your fences in a different scale, refer to my post about How to Change the Scale of a Pattern.

Materials to Make Fences

My free Fence Patterns from the A Cottage in the Forest Library. Design #87. Get the password for free by filling out the form at the bottom of this page
Cardstock, Cardboard (Kraft Board), or Aluminum Can – your choice!
A Cutting Machine like a Cricut Maker or Cricut Explore.
OR a hand-held craft blade like an X-Acto knife or Cricut TrueControl Knife. I also have a hand-held knife called the Excel Knife. It is nice in that it uses the cheaper craft blades, but the blade doesn’t work its way loose like the blade in my X-Acto knife often does. You will also need a cutting mat or a glass media mat to cut on. You could also cut our your fences using good Craft Scissors. I bought these scissors back in 2014, use them every day, and they have stayed amazingly sharp.
