Fence with chest hair

After the roaring success of my other projects 💅 I decided I needed to replace my fence(s). Some people said: do what everyone else is doing – stick some wood in the mud and nail different shaped wood onto that. Other people said: vinyl fences are the future 🤖! Yet other people said: herpa derpa durr 🤤.

I decided to reinvent the common fence from basic principles. This is what people with too much time on their hands do. I wanted the fence to withstand the most common weather disaster in Louisiana – the hurricane. I am outside of Baton Rouge so I’m not exposed to the full brunt of the Gulf. Math and associated decisions documented here:

1. Wind force
2. Wind loading on a fence

Now that we know what the right course of action is, lets not follow it.

1. Math confirmed as correct
2. Lets waffle about not doing the right thing

Build process. BBW – Big Beautiful Woman or Big Beautiful Welds? False dichotomy. Both are loved.

1. The horse is in the details
2. First steps sideways
3. We’re standing up
4. Safety somewhere

No project can exist without failures

1. All aboard the fail boat

To no small degree this project is made possible by the fabrication abilities afforded to individuals by the modern marketplace.

1. I ❤️ the future

And here’s some eye candy since no one wants to read ramblings of a crazy person.
