Now come on, Fencers, how on Earth are we going to reinforce the knitted fence against the wind and rain?

I'm carrying a bit of extra ballast around the waist and nether regions if that helps

Well if the wind and rain goes right through it then it wont fall down..

It'll be better than fence panels that have high wind-resistance and fall down. The real problem is that it's difficult to lean on.

Looks so much better than the old Flextella fencing though - a real labour of love and beautiful.

I have two small tins of outdoor paint (half empty). One is cornflower blue (it looks grey but that may be because I used it to paint an old toy box that was originally red plastic. The other is called fjord blue and is actually what I would call cornflower (used to paint an old plastic dustbin which has already been several other colours already). There's another one at my house when I can collect it safely and have the energy.
A friend of mine had a temporary job at a local works. He lived in an ex pit village it and only had three streets of houses but all the old surface buildings had been reused - the old pit baths were a bed shop (isolated but plenty of parking). He said that one of the regular workers did welding and wrought iron work that was as beautiful and delicate as embroidery.

We could have lots of wee gazebo thingies, with deck chairs and hammocks..

Which country is this fence in Mar? It sounds as if you're expecting sunshine and warmth...

If you are expecting us to travel to the wilds, where men are men and the women are worse and strange creatures roam the earth raping and pillaging, forget it.  Not even for a hand knitted fence.  On the other hand, it's a long time since I had a good pillage...........
