A Swingin' Garden Fence
A design solution that allows for easy weeding
by Roe Osborn
Fences are integral parts of some gardens, but they can be inconvenient to work around. So when my wife, Judy, and I built a fence around our garden, I came up with a different way to attach the sections to the posts. At the top corners, 3/8-inch lag bolts run through nylon sleeves and act as hinge points. The bottom corners are pinned with bolts that slide in and out of holes in the posts. When I need to work behind the fence, I just slip the bottom pins back, rotate the section up, and insert a prop to hold up the section until I'm done.
