A cottage or European farmhouse look would not be complete without some type of rustic fencing.
When thinking about fencing for our home, we loved the thought of using old recycled grape stakes to add instant patina and charm.
We loved the looks below....
Most grape stakes today are made of cedar and will gray over time as in many of the photos above, but we really loved the slightly darker patina of the old redwood grape stake for our home. Redwood grape stakes are no longer made but are often recycled and resold.
Tom went searching and found a raisin farmer that was changing out his 80 year old grape stakes for a more popular metal stake to use in his vineyards.
Two truck and trailer loads later.....we had stacks of them!
He cut, stacked and nailed them together to create taller fencing.....
The design is so unique!
The patina of the garden elements add just the right pop of color against brown/gray of the grape stakes. Both copper elements are original to our home and used to grace the prior owners garden gates in our back garden.
Our courtyard fencing was made using the 4 foot lengths.
We also used the stakes to create an arbor at the front entry. Our wisteria vines have lots of nooks and crannies to grow around.
We are very happy with the look. A combination of sustainable and beautiful!
By the way, we have made great progress in our guest studio renovation and are almost ready to reveal, so stay tuned!
Take care,
Greetings Sarah -

I like the idea of the smaller pickets to make a fence - very nice.
i know this is way late in the game but my wife and I are considering this type of fencing. For the Fence we love the stakes attached to each other to create the tall fencing. Question: How did he nail these together vertically? What type of framing did he put behing the grape stakes to hold it up? Thank you for any response and your assistance.

ReplyDeleteIf you have an old car, it’s probably a drag on your life and your finances. There are so many problems with older cars that it quickly becomes inefficient to try to keep them running, and sooner or later, you find it taking up space as it sits unused in your driveway. In that case, you should consider scrapping the car. Most cars that are scrapped are stripped of the high-quality parts, and then the metal is all recycled. There are plenty of benefits to scrapping your car, on top of simply not having to repair the car anymore!
