Since April we've been prepping the school garden area. All that was needed was a new fence to replace the old one which was born eighteen years ago.
We've looked around on the internet but only found the same curve being used repetitively, or flipping and flopping the curve alternatively.
We wanted a fence that is unique.
A fence to run a hand along.
Not steeple topped pickets.
Not flat topped boards.
A fence that would not restrict the view of a person, young or old, ... too short to see over.
Eight panels: Two days per panel to build.

Good fences make good neighbors. This garden fence is a work of art by a very creative craftsman. Well done!
Thank you for choosing wood to both build and build creatively with. If I see one more plastic picket fence I am going to heave.
That is a beautiful and inspirational fence. Plus good construction advice.
