Welded-Wire Garden Fence Rogue Engineer

DIY Welded-Wire Garden Fence

By Jamison Rantz

Years ago I built a modern chicken coop and it has been great. So much so, that we loaded it on a trailer and moved it out to our new house that we built. After weeks of allowing the chickens to roam about and crap all over we decided we had enough of that and fenced in a run for them with some cheap landscape fence and T-posts.

Fast forward a few years and that cheap fence now looks like crap. Not to mention that we never had anyway of getting into the run besides hopping the fence. That being said, it was finally tome to give our trashy little fence a makeover. We decided to build a welded wire garden fence that would keep the chickens in, our dog out, and look good around the house. The posts are 4x4s and with the Simpson Strong-Tie EZ Spikes, the post setting went fast, making the entire project quick and easy. Read on to see exact how we did it.

Why I Built this Console Table

I needed a simple but stylish console table for an Airbnb - since it's for short term rentals, I didn't need storage.  I didn't want to spend alot of time or money on a project.  I was able to build this console table for about $25 in lumber.

  • Inexpensive - cost about $25 in lumber
  • Stylish - goes with just about any decor
  • Wood Top - the wood top adds texture and warmth to a space and is easy to clean and keep looking new
  • Lightweight - easy to move around if needed
  • Perfect Size - it's a just right size for a narrow hall, entryway or small living room or that blank wall that needs something
  • Common Materials - build with furring strips and 1x12, available at most stores
  • Minimal tools - you just need a few tools to make this
  • Plans for Matching Pieces - this turned out so well, I added plans for the coffee tables and end tables too!

The project consists of a main building and several outbuildings, with a small studio with bathroom serving as a guest bedroom or office, while the main house is the centerpiece.
