A DIY fence like you have never seen before. You gotta go to Carrboro in NC to see this beauty. Artistic and practical.
Fences serve as a barrier between your house and the next one, as well as the street. A fence is useful for privacy as well as safety.
But a fence also can be a significant design element that elevates your home from ordinary to stand-out greatness. DIY fence design styles range from classic, to modern minimalist, to rural and simple, to eclectic, bohemian and artsy. Pick the style that suits your taste as well as the style of your home.

This particularly cool, recycled DIY fence does not come with a manual, however, there are however plenty of YouTube tutorials on fence making from which to borrow the design ideas needed to pull this one off on your own.
Start collecting’ ‘stuff’ would be step #1.

DIY Fence Making Instructions
I thought to give you some tips and hints on how to make fences, however, these folks at the lumberyard (millardlumber.com/HowTo/fence/fence.htm) really know best. Let them advise you. Here are their hips and hints on how to make a really good fence – or rather, they are good step-by-step how-to instructions:
1. Space the fence posts,
2. Set the fence posts, and
3. Add rails to the posts ~ exactly what you’ll need to make the fence above.
Not for beginners, but not that hard either.

That is a great fence. I can just see it next to my shed or as a divider between neighbors.
I love that fence. So different. Have a great day.
That is the coolest fence I’ve ever seen!!! :)
I live 45 minutes from Carrboro and will check this fence out next time I am that way. I would love to try this as the base for my old needs to be torn down deck!
This is a beautiful focal piece! Thank you for the inspiration.
This fence is awesome!!! I wish we were handier in our place. hahaha! My husband and I are rest cooks, but not really handy! I need my whole back fence de-done and this would look awesome.
This looks just like the fence on the cartoon Puppy Dog Pals! My Husband played the cartoon for my Grandson and hit pause so I could see it and that he was going to build That Fence! I adore it!
We live very close to Carrboro — is there any way to get the street address?
Hi Jen
Apparently, Carrboro is really artistic and there are quite a few fences like this. Since it’s small, I’d say go for a drive and have a look around. If you take the URL of my website with the picture along on your phone, I’m sure you can ask a local to point you to the right home. There is no guarantee that it’s still up, but it probably is as the panels I am showing at FineCraftGuild is part of a bigger fence.
btw. if you do go there to look at fences, can you please make photos and share these for me so I can add them to this blog post for others to enjoy as well. Thanks so much in advance!
Cheers,
Rose
