    I'm looking for photos from members who have done creative things to collage across a plain board fence with Garden Junk. Anything cool you've done- I'd love to see it.

    I happen to have "THE" Ugly fence. I is 100 years old and really ugly. I added some re painted butterflies and flowers. All came from a thrift store for 25 to 50 cents. I am posting a link so you can see it. as I find more I will add to it. Color makes a world of difference.
    Sorry you have to so through the whole gallery! I have not yet figured out how to show just one. So enjoy your walk through my garden last summer.

    My sister-in-law has an ugly fence she's decorated with all sorts of stuff... old garden tools, barb-wired fence, butterflies, etc. I'll try to get a photo the next time I visit her.

    I have a wood fence around my pool area and I have collected several old,rusty, and broken garden hand tools, then screwed them onto the fence.

    tiles, wall planters, bits of detritus, etc.

    I saw a fence not long ago where someone had adhered bits of detritus, tile, broken pottery, old signs, etc.
    Has anyone on this forum done something similar?
