Fence

Exquisite!

Very nice work, that is a nice detail to add.

Can you show step-by-step how you made the fence? Thank you.

Charles, I do not have current pics of the process but I need to make a small fence this weekend so I will take more photos and post sometime then.

I also will be anxiously waiting to see your process. Can you give us some advance info regarding what materials are required along with any assembly tools?

I use aluminum window screen from HD. Be sure to look closely at the pattern because there are two different screen patterns. The simple square checkerboard like the one I use and a irregular pattern with more of a rounded look. I am in the automotive repair business and have found that the red little straws on our brake clean cans and carb cleaner cans are the perfect O.D., just like the straws on a WD40 can. If you can't get your Hans on those anything that is .0625" (1/16th") will work fine. I stand the poles upright in some foam and spray them with a couple coats of Rust-Oleum Bright Coat metallic finish silver. To get the correct diamond shape "chain link" look I use painters tape and lay a strip on the window screen at a 45 degree angle to the squares. I use three different size tapes which coincidently workout to three fence heights. 1inch for 4' fence ( houses and neighborhoods), 1.5inch for 6' fence (businesses and such) and 2'tape for 8' fences (industrial areas). I got the screen along the outline of the tape. Some of the little wires may get bent or moved but you can use picks to straighten them up later. I leave the painters tape on the screen while I glue the post on. 3 little dabs of your favorite clear drying glue on the post evenly spaced for the height of the fence. Tape the post to the screen and weigh down till dry. After the glue is dry you can remove all the tape( but careful the screen is pretty fragile the smaller you are working with). I found some wire at my work that is about a 12ga stranded wire with aluminum strands to use for the fence ties. You can probably find some wire like this at your local home store. I strip all the insulation off and cut just a single wire strand. I use this wire strand to thread through the fence around the post and twist it just like a real fence. That's about it. After all that just trim the bottoms of the post to length and place inside holes on your sub structure. You can weather it to give it a little age or maybe weather all but a few sections to look like a fence repair was made. If you want you can also leave about 3/8ths of the post abound the screen to attach "razor wire" to. I will be doing a razor wire fence this weekend so I will show that process also. Hope all this helps along with the photos this weekend. David
