Garden Fence & Gate

Growing up on a farm in Iowa, you'd think I have a 

natural green thumb...sadly, you are wrong. But somehow, 

I've managed to grow a small garden in our backyard, 

canyoubelieveit. You can find the original post and see just

how much our little garden has taken off since we

first planted everything HERE.

With a bountiful of greens however, come a few late

night stragglers, nibbling away at our pretty 

leaves...the buggers! I picked up a roll of green

fence and a few posts from Home Depot and my 

DH (dear hubby) sweetly installed a barrier 

 directly around the box. Ahem.

With no way of getting to the garden, he widened

the fence, adding a few extra poles and a quick gate 

for easy access. For ease of disassembly if needed,

the fence is attached to the posts with zip ties.

 The gate was made using 3 fence boards, the tops cut

off, one of which was chopped in half.  A few quick

 zaps of the nail gun with a few screws for reinforcement, 

at the corners. A small piece of fence was stapled

onto the back and the gate zip tied to one of the posts. 

The gate needs to be stained to match the 

garden box but so far, it's been keeping the critters 

out and the garden is able to flourish inside.
