As they say, privacy fences make for good neighbors. Plenty of materials can be used to divide your yard from your neighbor’s, and we’ve looked at quite a few: vinyl, straw bale, and bamboo. But how about concrete?

You might think concrete would make for an ugly residential fence (though maybe a good traffic noise barrier), but artists that specialize in working with this flexible material can make some pretty cool things.

This concrete fence, with its mountain range backdrop, was made by Seattle-based Artisan Finishes. Not only is it an effective privacy barrier, but it looks like it belongs with the area’s nearby Cascade Mountains.
