Here in our little corner of Arizona, fences are made using whatever material is handy. In this case, barbed wire and yucca stalks with the occasional T-post to keep it sturdy.
I'm linking up with Life According to Jan and Jer and Friday's Fences.
So interesting! I love seeing how different areas do things...different :-) I take it yucca is strong??
ReplyDeletethat works! and is very rustic looking!
ReplyDeletedr momi,
ReplyDeleteNot particularly but they use a LOT of them! ;-)
TWG,
I really like the look of the fences made this way!
Looks just like old wood posts.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this!
It's annoying that I won't be able to see any more comments without remembering to come back to your blog post.
Oh well. have a good weekend!
Now that's using your resources! :) You don't see much barbed wire here anymore...but I'd bet it works!
ReplyDeleteI actually like the look of the wooden posts. Much better than the old rusty, ugly metal posts, and more friendly to the environment.
ReplyDeleteYou use what you have. I love the creativity. Some of my fences are pretty hobbled too, but I'm trying to change that. :-)
ReplyDeleteLindaG,
ReplyDeleteThey do look like wood posts until you get up closer! You have a good weekend too!
Alica,
We still use a lot of barbed wire out here in the wild-and-wooly west!
Swamp Dog,
ReplyDeleteThey do all a lot more charm to an otherwise boring fence!
Teresa,
The ranchers around here get *really* creative with their fencing sometimes! :)
hey, it works. can you imagine falling on that cactus ... ouch!! something you would never forget. (:
ReplyDeleteNice! BTW love the new look of your blog.
ReplyDeleteBeth,
ReplyDeleteI definitely don't want to fall on that cactus! I like the way it has grown up and around the fence though!
SweetLand Farm,
Thank you! :)
You could always tell where my Grammy had patched fence. She used bailing twine!
ReplyDeleteit's best to use what's handy and i like the rustic look to it!
ReplyDeleteWe do much the same thing.
ReplyDeleteI like the small branches and the look they give. They also do wonders at keep EVERYBODY where they need to be~!

ReplyDeletebeautiful shots!!
ReplyDeletePrickly pear is a good example of a natural fence!
ReplyDeleteClint,
ReplyDeleteWe use a lot of it around here too! ;-)
Tanya,
I like the look too!
Pat,
It is rather efficient in keeping the calves in and/or out!
Rose,
ReplyDeleteThanks! :)
Jules,
Thank you!
Kathy,
I have seen property in Tucson where they use prickly pear for a natural fence!
Now that's using what you have available. I love it! :)
ReplyDeleteVery good photos.
ReplyDeleteRegards and best wishes
Nancy,
ReplyDeleteIt is pretty cool that they used what was available!
Tatjana,
Thanks! :)
Very resourceful...I like that!

Yucca stalks?? I had no idea! Guess they grow different where you guys live. Natural fencing looks beautiful and blends into the scenery better anyhow.
ReplyDeleteBTW, like the new header pics!
Jan n Jer,
ReplyDeleteIt is definitely make-do!
Michaele,
Ya'll will be seeing more cactus this spring when it starts blooming!
MMT,
It does, doesn't it?! :)
Carolyn Renee,
I like the natural look of it too!
I love unique fences. There are certain parts of the country where you find them and they just add a bit more character!
ReplyDeleteA very interesting twist on fence construction. Nice capture
ReplyDeleteMost of my fences are photographed here in town, but I look forward to presenting more rustic ones...especially an ocotillo! There is an ocotillo from here in town but I'd love to find one on a ranch! Love these yucca spines and barbed wire. Really nice photos, too!
ReplyDeleteMaria Rosa,
ReplyDeleteWe have some pretty unique fences around here! LOL!!
Shaun,
Thanks!
Marie,
I loved all your fence pictures from around Tucson! I have seen some really cool ones on my travels to "the city!"
Whatever works... pretty cool fence
ReplyDeleteLove those fences...there are a lot of the same type up here where trees are few and far between.
ReplyDeletegtyyup,
ReplyDeleteThe old ranchers always used what they could find, huh?!?
