how about adding some Wattle fencing to the Pendraken range
Could do with some full size, for the garden. I'm watching my fences snap as we speak :/
It's calmed down a lot, in the SW corner of Wales since early, this 'fair morn'......When I got stopped by the girls and boys in blue, while I was driving into Cardigan.
Tree had come down across the road.......Hardly a 'biggie'.....and it was cleared in 10 minutes. (Mind you, I don't know how much they'd chainsawed up before I got there.)
Makes a change for us to 'get away with it', while bigger parts of the UK are being 'battered'.
Cheers - Phil (Who hopes everybody else is OK.)
We're five fences down and I'm watching the rest... mind, some neighbours have seen theirs literally disntegrate and some one in Wolves got killed by debris earlier :S
Ouch !!!
If Von and I still lived in Notts.......I think it would have destroyed all of our panel fences. ('Fencing'......That's for the benefit of FK. :P)
At the current Techno Towers, it's all post and rail.......With sheep netting......So there's an awful lot of decent sized holes for the wind to 'whiz through'.
The stone walls........I dread to think what sort of wind we'd need to knock those down.......That wind strength would rip the roof off the house.
Very sad news about the fatality in Wolverhampton. :(
Cheers - Phil
I'm hoping some of the fences are recoverable, if I can bodge them back in the post holes/slots post Doris buggering off. At least two are defunct though so that's forty quid down the swanee, and probably no wargaming weekend for me as I'll be missing half of it sorting them out instead! Assuming there's any left to buy in the area, which might be doubtful at this rate...
Storm, what storm?
I think we had it all here!
Quite a good video here - http://www.birminghammail.co.uk/news/midlands-news/storm-doris-terrifying-footage-snow-12645816 (http://www.birminghammail.co.uk/news/midlands-news/storm-doris-terrifying-footage-snow-12645816)
I hope all are ok
Just a bit of rain and a bit of breeze here, nothing dramatic.
20 miles away is a bit different though.
Lost one panel!
This day shall live in infamy! Infamy, infamy, they've all got it in for me!
We just have some property damage and a stir crazy toddler & other half...

Seems to have been very patchy - 10 miles away M56 and A5117 were closed (perhaps the Runcorn Oik wuz test driving his cent?) Here it was rather damp, but no damage.

can we keep on topic, and no I do not mean the candy bar :P
I imagine that I would scratch build wattle fences.
I would probably use short runs of fine electrical wire interwoven between posts of cocktail sticks.
I had the odd good fortune to have the 'flu... and therefore spent virtually the entire time of Doris' visit safely in bed (make your own jokes...), but she made a fair bit of noise, despite no visible damage so far. The show froze solid overnight though...
Yes, but did you make any wattle fences for the table top whilst having flu?!
The fuse wire suggestion is interesting - wouldn't it be a bit fiddly and time consuming? No worse than home made barded wire entanglements I guess?

I'm thinking more of multi-strand electrical wire (copper) rather than fuse wire.
Yes, it would be fiddly and time consuming but at least I could say 'I made that'.
I haven't made it yet though.
I'm thinking of the decorative beadwork/strands that you sometimes see as new age/native american jewelry type stuff - could you squeeze/glue a post into something like that then spray and paint up?
This sort of thing -

Only as cheap as possible :D
had thought about using wire, tried it, to time consuming and fiddly :( much rather buy ready made, hint, hint Leon ;D
