here is a nice fence made of corrugated metal... this isnt the fence that i would like to build, but its still a very cool fence... i am going to have to convince my babe that its going to look good... otherwise she is going to cry about it and make my life miserable... i am going to plan a field trip to corrugated metal fences... she thinks it "doesnt go" with an older house... but i like the mix of old and new... i like in europe how there is that mix everywhere... and also this house is a modified pre-war bungalow (not a craftsman with all the embellishments... its much simplified)... at the time this was a style that sought to bring what was at the time a modern sensibility to american homes... natural light, large windows, simple floor plan with no hallways and a nice flow from room to room... the idea was that a beautiful home that was well conceived and designed could have a positive effect on the mental and physical health of the people that lived in it.. this was style and modern design for the masses.. the bungalow was decidedly affordable and middle class... it seems like these ideals were lost... and are just now regaining steam... so i can continue with the theme of a home like this and keep it smart and modern... or i can think of this house as an older style built before ww2 and treat it in a more conservative manner, which i think would be a betrayal of both my personal style and the spirit of the design... i dont think of myself as doing a preservational renovation... i am furthering the original ideals of the design... first on the list- fence... bump out the kitchen...

corrugated metal fence
here is a nice fence made of corrugated metal... this isnt the fence that i would like to build, but its still a very cool fence... i am going to have to convince my babe that its going to look good... otherwise she is going to cry about it and make my life miserable... i am going to plan a field trip to corrugated metal fences... she thinks it "doesnt go" with an older house... but i like the mix of old and new... i like in europe how there is that mix everywhere... and also this house is a modified pre-war bungalow (not a craftsman with all the embellishments... its much simplified)... at the time this was a style that sought to bring what was at the time a modern sensibility to american homes... natural light, large windows, simple floor plan with no hallways and a nice flow from room to room... the idea was that a beautiful home that was well conceived and designed could have a positive effect on the mental and physical health of the people that lived in it.. this was style and modern design for the masses.. the bungalow was decidedly affordable and middle class... it seems like these ideals were lost... and are just now regaining steam... so i can continue with the theme of a home like this and keep it smart and modern... or i can think of this house as an older style built before ww2 and treat it in a more conservative manner, which i think would be a betrayal of both my personal style and the spirit of the design... i dont think of myself as doing a preservational renovation... i am furthering the original ideals of the design... first on the list- fence... bump out the kitchen...

you talkin' about the new house? guess i'll have to buy some leather work gloves now, huh?
as the super. of that building i think you should call randy shields, see what he'd charge to paint those things. you know, you never did buy me that tool belt...
"Florida: Bookman, you always wear that tool belt, but you never fix anything. How come you wear it? Bookman: It's to hold my pants up. Florida: I thought your belly did that!"
"Thelma: J.J. it's 7 AM get up!
JJ: Wow, I dreampt I was chasin' this foxy chick... and her father was chasin' me, and the muggers was chasin' him, and the police was chasin' the muggers. Sort of a ghetto marathon!"
This is a fast way to make your house worth 50cent
I'm gonna have to agree with Slover - that's the way to go if you want your house to look like ass.
Question? How is everyone supposed to know your biz with a fence like that? Out here, we have no fences. Nude sun-bathing is definitely out. even if it is a balmy 38 degrees! I grew up in the South...and I can't remember seeing any fences like that. Paint it a soft pink with white trim and your lady might go for it. Personally I like big rocks for fences.
erik - go composite for fencing , why not Call LOOK in France and see if a carbon panel could be constructed for your joint .
distinguishing old and new is the mature approach but hasn't caught on in the U.S.. Maybe because we're insecure about our short history and want more historical looking things around us.
The Federal Secretary of Interior Standards, what local architectural review boards supposedly adopt, mandate against false historicism and promote distinguishing between old and new. What is difficult is differentiating but being compatable at the same time so as not to be visually disruptive to a street-scape that is otherwise good.
or like a chop shop.
try installing it with the channel oriented horizontally as opposed to vertically. i've used this on a few projects on my production design days and its looked great. suprisingly the orientation of the channels has lot of impact on the way it looks.
n.
i bet i find some cool fences made of corrugated metal near your place slover...
yeah... i think i am in a historic ditrict.. but i need to check.. they either just got the distinction or they are trying to get it now...
i like also those glass fences like you see a lot in socal...
do you have photos of instalations you have done?
