Fancy Fences

Surf Board Fence

 
After yesterday's post about upcycled bottle fences I was inspired to do some more research into other eclectic fences that anyone can make. If you feel like a project then put on that thinking cap and decide what your fence will be made of, you could get away with almost any item these days. When I finally have a propper house with a nice garden, I will be collecting doors to make that gorgeous door fence!

Using What You Have - Bottle Fence

Today a reader contacted me in regards to a thrifty project she is doing at the moment, the bottle fence! Julie emailed me to tell me all about this on going project that her and her husband are doing in their spare time, to bring colour and life to their front fence which was in a very sad condition. Due to the fence being directly next to a salt water pool the metal posts supporting the fence had rusted and deteriorated. Instead of tearing the entire fence down Julie decided to keep the existing brick work and build on to it using bottles that they already had to create an eclectic stained glass effect. From there they intend to build on to it again using reclaimed wood or rustic old doors. See their project below and in the future we will share with you their finished project!

If Julies project has struck your interest then hurry up, put on your shoes and run out to your recycling bin. Quickly salvage any glass bottles that you didnt need before, because you need them now! Choose your colour theme and run with it. If you arent a big drinker why not ask your neighbours, family or friends to save their bottles for you? If you are a big drink well get drinking! This project and give a mosiac effect or can be made into a pattern of your choice. Below are some images I have found to give you some more inspiration! These pictures even include this technique being used indoors in bathrooms and also in a retail setting.
