At first...it sorta looked like just an old fence...
in need of repairs.....
but the fence posts...
everyone was different...
Hubby could of taken pictures of every post..
He is a wood man...
I don't think we have every seen a fence with so much character..
It would be interesting putting those posts in the ground. I imagine the holes would have been hand dug, or drilled. Work!
ReplyDeleteoh, i very much like it! 5 strands ain't too shabby either. :)
ReplyDeleteooohhhh it's a very cool fence. most folks probably just drive right by, and don't even notice how unique it is. i don't know anything about strands....apparently that's good ;)))
ReplyDeleteI love those homemade fence posts...Great shots!
ReplyDeleteThere are still a lot of those fences like that in the countryside around here. Great shots.
ReplyDeleteI had never seen one like that before... but I guess they are or where fairly common!
Deletelove seeing this! thank you. I would never think about looking that closely...but I will now!
ReplyDeleteWell we were biking...and the bike path was right beside the fence... to tell you the truth... I might not of noticed...but hubby did:)...
DeleteI love all the different fence posts. So unique.
ReplyDeletethat is a cool fence..I love the wood..
ReplyDeleteThe fourth shot is my favorite but I also like the post in the fifth shot.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if it was planned that way or a case of using what was on hand.
What a unique find Bev!
In answer to your question on mine if using tree trunks was normal for fencing. Yes, especially locust tree posts because they tend to last a long while. When you are clearing land for farming it's just as easy to use the cut down trees rather than buying ready made posts or it was for the fence I posted. Today the metal rods are in much greater use.
a really unique fence! :)
ReplyDeleteA great find!
ReplyDeletethis is a great one!
ReplyDeleteWhoever made that fence used all the wood he had available.
ReplyDeleteLots of character.
very unique n resourceful!
ReplyDeleteThese are great views...love them all.
ReplyDeletethat blue sky is just gorgeous. what a view. (:
ReplyDeleteThose posts are perfection, the wood is wonderful and the views are great.
ReplyDeleteCalling by as another Friday Fence participant, it certainly has plenty of character!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like this old wire fence has stood the test of time and pasted. Lovely shots, Bev.
ReplyDeleteI too, love to take pics of old fences. Gotta craving to get on the road and find some of those old posts!! Fun post. Enjoyed it!!
ReplyDeleteNow that's the way to build a fence! :-)
ReplyDeleteThe person who built the fence made use of what was at hand...I love that! It does have some wonderful character!
ReplyDeleteI would say that even fences have souls.
ReplyDeleteOld Stone Fence
Now that is a cool fence. What an original idea - I've not seen anything like that before. I wonder if it will start a new trend :))
ReplyDeleteThis is one of the fascinating things about old fences it seems. Everything is put to use--or saved for later use. What it looks like doesn't really matter. But, is it functional? Like to think that these fences say a lot about the people who own them.
