Why Is Green Mesh Fencing So Popular?
Blending Into the Environment
Much of the UK is made up of countryside, woodland, and natural landscapes. In these areas, fencing needs to define boundaries without interrupting the view.
Green fencing is ideal because it complements natural surroundings, helping fences sit subtly within the landscape rather than standing out. This makes them especially popular with councils, parks, rural sites, and properties looking to retain an unobtrusive appearance.
Everyday Use: Without Being Noticed
You probably walk or drive past green mesh fencing every day without realising it. That’s often intentional.
While mesh fencing can be powder coated in a range of colours, green remains the least visually dominant. Compared to brighter options such as blue or red, green is less distracting and blends more seamlessly into most outdoor settings. Landscapers, installers, and local authorities commonly choose it when they want fencing to do its job quietly.
The Disney “Go Away Green” Effect
If you’ve visited a Disney theme park, you may have noticed how much of the infrastructure fades into the background, if you noticed it at all. Disney Imagineer John Hench coined the term “Go Away Green”, referring to shades specifically designed to help structures disappear from guests’ attention.
Disney uses these tones for:
- Litter bins
- Lamp posts
- Staff buildings
- Smoking areas
- Fencing
- Utility spaces
The idea is simple: use a colour that blends so well into the environment that visitors focus on what truly matters.
Following this principle, many companies choose green mesh fencing to make certain areas, such as service yards, refuse points, or perimeter lines, less noticeable to the public.
