Driftwood Fence, Part 1

Bellawillow loves Green Living and doing our part to help the environment.  Located near the banks of the Ohio River, we see on a daily basis the massive amounts of driftwood that clutter the shores.  This debris is not only an eyesore but it makes it difficult for both people and animals to enjoy the river.  This natural resource can be collected and used in so many ways.  Bellawillow, in collaboration with Elwood Designs, have started some projects around the shop using the driftwood we have collected from the river.

One of the major projects that we are trying to complete is a Driftwood Fence.  This is a pretty major project and is taking a lot of hard work but it is already starting to look pretty awesome.  Check it out!

This is a before shot of the area we are building the fence around.  We are actually only lining one side of the yard with the fence so we can separate the parking area and the yard.


We dug holes and placed thick pieces of driftwood vertically in the holes.  These will act as post for our fence.


Next we went through and added medium size pieces of wood.  These are add for not only their look but to also make the fence a little more structurally sound.


We continued adding driftwood between the post. You can see that we are not yet finished.
