Those fences are great. I still haven't hired the contractor to do our fence yet, as I'm still considering all the possibilities. (Do I have trouble making decisions? Yes.) I think I'm still leaning toward the basketweave style, but I've seen some interesting variations on it. Now I want my husband to make one of those wacky screens (bottom left photo) between our driveway and the neighbor's. Oh my! Those fences are great.

Inexpensive, functional, abundant - and hey, I even recall seeing some that were 'design-y'. I'm on the lookout for some good vintage material to post...

One more thing to consider as we do work around our place. Currently we have chain link around most of the backyard, as do most of the other houses in the area. (Is chain link considered retro?)
