depends on how long the fence is, hops will get out of control if not tended to. |

Perhaps this should be cross posted on the decorating your fence thread?

My uncle poured concrete under the fence, about six inches on each side. It saves grass and weeds from growing up in the fence. You can move and weed eater the concrete and always have a neat fence free of weeds growing up in it.
Do like they do in PHoenix. put up a concrete block fence |

If you want people to keep their distance, just pick up road kill, preferably flat & dry, then hang it on the fence. |

Looks like that venison hop was out of control...
I appreciate the ideas! Grumps, interesting idea, dunno how the neighborhood assn. would appreciate that.
BTW, now I wonder what kind of sick fzzck thought that above pic had to be taken... prolly like me.
I've got an infamous squirrel post-mortem photo I once took on the wall inside the Shed- my old boss says that's the most remarked upon pic there.
Once Spring gets here, I'll probably roller it all black, and see what grows well and pretty after that.
Keep 'em coming, though! |

I would also recommend using a paint such as Sherwin Williams DTM (Direct To Metal). It's formulated to apply, as the name implies, directly to a metal surface without the need for primer. One down side of this paint IIRC is that you will need paint thinner to clean up with. It's been quite a few years since I've used any of this stuff, so I'm not 100% sure on the clean up. |
