Our friend Margaret Ayad recently visited the Shag It Cafe, and captured this shot of our Riddled Fence. It brought back memories of when I made it, back when we first bought the cottages.
We needed a fence between our own home, and our guests’ cottages – for their privacy, and our own. Our new neighbours suggested we construct a ‘riddled fence,’ a Newfoundland classic, by weaving saplings together like you see here. It took a lot of work, but the end result is quite pretty and has proven to be quite solid. Just goes to show that sometimes the old methods can work just as well as the new!
