If your fence feels a little plain, outdoor metal art is one of the easiest ways to give it personality and charm. Whether you love native New Zealand birds, coastal vibes, or minimalist modern design, adding metal art to your fence transforms your outdoor space into something special — durable, low-maintenance, and timeless.
Here are 10 inspiring fence art ideas featuring NZ-made designs by LisaSarah Steel Designs.
Celebrate Aotearoa’s wildlife with Corten steel or black steel bird art. The Tui & Flax Wall Art or Flying Fantail on Koru make striking centrepieces on timber or concrete fences.
Bring a seaside feel to your backyard with nautical designs. Try The Beach House Corten Sign or the To Gin or Not to Gin sign for a relaxed coastal aesthetic.
Mix sizes and shapes to create a multi-dimensional fence feature. Combine round wall art like the large corten wave with simple pieces such as the Bird in Flight.
For a sleek, functional look, combine your fence art with a house number panel from LisaSarah’s Address Collection. Powder-coated finishes ensure they withstand NZ’s changing weather.
Extend your fence design into the garden. The Koru Corten Steel Garden Sculpture Set adds a sculptural flow that complements contemporary or natural fences.
Inspire or make guests smile with statement signs such as Would Marry Again or The She Shed Corten. Text art adds personality and charm to any fence.
Combine rusted Corten tones with deep matte black pieces for contrast. This pairing works beautifully against neutral fence colours and helps key features pop.
Practical can be beautiful too. The Kereru Outdoor Wall Hook offers a clever way to hang garden tools or decor while adding sculptural flair.
Add movement and interest to garden beds near your fence. The NZ Corten Kiwi, Fantail & Tui Stakes Set complements fence-mounted art and ties the whole space together.
Rotate pieces through the year — swap coastal art in summer for native flora designs in winter. All LisaSarah metal art is UV-resistant and made for NZ’s outdoor conditions.
LisaSarah’s art is made from high-quality Corten and powder-coated steel, crafted locally in New Zealand. Unlike wood or canvas, metal art won’t warp or fade, making it ideal for outdoor fences, patios, and garden walls.
Choosing NZ-made outdoor metal wall art supports local design and ensures your space feels uniquely Kiwi — inspired by the coast, bush, and lifestyle we love.
From contemporary statements to classic native designs, outdoor metal art NZ homeowners love is all about personal style and durability.
