Dawn, I think that is adorable! So different! I bet your neighbors and passersby really like it also.

Thank you, Bee! That it was all free, was great. It's a mix of hardwoods mostly and we used them fresh-off-the-trees green, so they were fairly easy to bend. The fence is up along our driveway so no one sees it from the road. I hope, this year, to get some Cypress and Moonflower vines growing to cover it.

Not familiar w/cypress-except for as a tree- but that should look real pretty.

I love that Dawn!!!!! I wish I could do that here but unfortunately I think the goats and horses would destroy it. They do their best on the mesh wire I have up now. I think it would look great with vines growing over it. What is cypress though other than a tree?

I love this, but have a feeling if I tried to build one it would not look as pritty. Would probibly look like a pile of sticks. Might try anyway! Lol

Here's some pix and info on Cypress Vine. If anyone wants to try growing some, let me know, I've got plenty of seed.

The top of the fence, where the smaller branches are hooped over, looks kind of ratty this year so the vines should hide it until I can redo it.

Nice job on the arbor, mlynd!

It's an annual, so I don't see why it wouldn't grow for you, tff6. PM me your addy if you'd like some seeds.
