Yard Ornamental Combination Fencing

This highly decorative yard ornament resides behind the home of one of our City Councilmen in Lamar, Colorado. His rendition of combination fencing, half redwood and half galvanized woven wire forms the perfect niche for displaying this decoratively painted wagon, formerly known as the back end of a truck, stacked with wood and extemporaneous yard clutter. Figuratively speaking, the clutter beneath the trailer and to the side could be considered anchor decor?

A rain splattered camera lens indicates moisture is on the way... Those well trimmed fence growing weeds could be three feet high by morning! Wonder if he'll be getting a door hanger that says "Notice and Order"?

Tisk, Tisk, Ole Tom can't Get a Break!

Even with the influence of neighbors hosting a soldier point row of crooked fiberglass point fencing, these throwbacks to the days of slavery are still hanging onto their unpainted wooden pickets. Don't suppose those were recycled slabs of wood from a few wooden pallets salvaged from the dump, now? Maybe Tom Sawyer will come along and paint this one?

Once again the use of naturally, home grown weeds displays the originality and dedication to saving ecological sanity on the home front. These residents of Lamar, Colorado hold nothing back to maintain their small footprint of damage on natures gentle surroundings.

This dumpster seems a natural resident of the weed patch, under used by the inhabitants of the home beyond the fence, and perhaps, not used at all in a great while. He looks comfy enough leaning up against the fence swinging in the winds of southeastern Colorado.

Rendition Tom Sawyer Classic Fencing


Every child remembers at least one classic Tom Sawyer moment, painting a fence, borrowing trouble or tooling down the Mississippi with Black Jim, wishing you didn't have to wake up from your dream and go back to school in the morning. Well, this neighbor brought the tradition of classic Tom Sawyer to life with fiberglass rendition fencing.

When the Neoplan Bus factory skipped out on Lamar, Colorado, leaving more than 800 workers without jobs, they left behind plenty of their well branded white fiberglass bus siding for --- you guessed it --- fences. These treasure points offer Sawyer Proof advantage, no painting needed. Simply pound a nail through the middle and let them warp into place. You don't need hedge clippers, just let the saplings grow right up to support the leaning masses of fiberglass points on the picket fence and you've got a spiffy backyard edging, classed up by overgrown weeds. Don't mind those weeds, the City Code Inspector will be by shortly to announce that your civic duty is lacking and if you don't cut those weeds shorter than the apprized required length of eight spiffy inches, you'll be carted off to the Graybar Hotel and served three squares, a rock hard bed and all the televized Obama you can suffer.

Tom Sawyer would be proud to live in this neighborhood.

Recycled Graffiti Gang Classic Fence


Wanna be gang-bangers must have had a hay-day building this classic graffiti gang hangout surround. Bailing wire ties it securely to the post, while strapping hinges wrap around the leaning post. Nary a graffiti mark could be found, due to rust and well aged dents and bends in the galvanized sheet metal used to roughly cover these construction left overs. If you wonder how to keep your pets in, just pile old grass clippings up along the bottom edge, no pet can dig through that.

This delightful rendition of recycled classic fencing was found in the Prestigious hometown of Lamar, Colorado, where the 2009 Cal Ripkin World Series is being held in August of 2009.

Graffiti Gang Classic Fence, your Neighbors and Tourists of the World Series applaud your efforts at originality and resourcefulness in designing this ecologically safe fence. Your ecological footprint is shrinking!

Thinking GREEN? How about a Fence of Salvaged Materials?

These ingenious home owners came up with original ways to mend the fences in their neighborhood! Perhaps you can come up with a few ideas from these ingenious forces, using already been constructed project left-overs for your back yard fence?

The cost of living is high in Lamar, Colorado, with all the new construction going on for the Cal Ripkin World Series coming to town in 2009, but that doesn't stop local home owners from building state of the art, economic and ecologically safe fence projects to beautify their homes. In fact, even the local School district has gotten into the spirit of green, saving fossil fuels and man power for more important projects and allowing golden grasses to remain long after the green is gone to decorate the chain link classic fences around the school yard at Lamar High School's football field. This classic specimen of green growing football field is surrounded by the overgrown and naturally unkempt grass look sported well in this photo by a local ecologist.
