I love salvage/repurposed

But this is like a fancy hobo fence, right? Or am I missing something I'll get later like succulent landscaping or cultivated meadows?

I would feel too boxed in with that surrounding a whole deck, but I think it's pretty cool, and would do it for one area. Of course, I have an old wooden play set ladder behind my garden, waiting for the morning glories to climb it. I also have a green trellis I picked up from Freecycle to add back there so something else can climb.

I think it has potential to be cool but my neighbors would hate to look at the backside of that. Especially since in our village the "nice" side of the fence must be on the outside.

Nicole Curtis on Rehad Addict did one of these types of fences and I liked it much better. I can't seem to find a photo but it was on the "dollar house" backyard.
