I made this wattle fence from an old iron bed frame.
Cut several green branches longer then the frame size and weave through the rungs.
Trim the edges when your done.
You may want to wear gloves, it gets a little tougher as the you go!
Plant little climbing annuals near this for a pretty Summer accent in the garden.
So creative as well as lovely! I’ve always admired these fences, but couldn’t figure out how you make them. Duh! If I were in front of my loom, this design would be a simple tabby.
Thank you Arlene!, glad you like the idea….it would be fun to weave different patterns…hmmm now you got me thinking!!! ๐
Truly creative! Love it!

Great recycling project! I imagine it will be beautiful this spring and summer!
Thank you Peggy–will Spring ever get here? ๐
This is just the sort of thing that I love to see in the garden! Re-purposing items is both practical and creative. “Rusty” is one of my favorite colors/qualities in a garden accent. Thank you for sharing.

Mary Ann, I love to add a few rusty things to the garden! ๐
So pretty even without a climber! I can’t wait to see what grows up it come summer.
What shall I plant near it this year? Last year was climbing brown eyed susan’s! ๐
That’s exactly what I pictured there! A clematis maybe? Or does trumpet vine grow that far north?
I really like this and have two crib side rails which would be perfect for this in storage!
Great idea Lois!!!
I can’t wait to try it out!
Really like this…mmmm now what have I got that I could do similar with……
Lois is going to use old crib rails!!! Love the possibility of that! ๐
gosh..no crib rails here, I’m a Nana now …but something will catch my eye…..!
I love your ideas and the way you repurpose things in your garden!
Thank you sweet Eliza! Hubby did think I was nuts wrestling with these little fences! I told him just you wait, the magazine will love it–and it was the first thing they photographed when they were here!!! ๐
Following your heart is always a good thing!
Good idea, thanks a lot!
Your most welcome!!! ๐
LOVE this! I love to build rustic structures out of found branches. What a great idea!
