      Not really sure where we picked that one up - it seems that most of these pre-fab metal outdoor benches and arches are imported from China and are just the same ones whether you get them at Walmart or Home Depot.

      The Grange co-op, affiliate of Tru-Value Hardware, often has a nice arch. Also, local garden stores often have arches. Also you can make one with a 16 ft cattle panel. Or two 8ft cattle panels.

    Very smart idea Jason. It gives the sense of boundary while still being open around the garden and more importantly from the house so you and your family can enjoy the space after hours.
    That type of fencing is as durable as the type of reed in it, the thinner reeds tend to splinter more easily and the thicker ones usually do better, some types have a bit more of a waxy surface that helps them last longer. The weave wire in yours seems to be pretty close together and that helps a lot as well.
    Around here the reeds grey out rather quickly, but depending on how much rain there is I've seen some last as long as 2-3 years or as short as 6 months.
    You will find out soon enough.
    The garden area is looking terrific! I'm sure your customers will be enjoying the wonderful experience.👌🤙

    I like this idea! I have a sewing workshop on a second adjoined lot that came with our home. The artist builder had torn down the old house but rebuilt the garage. But as a garage is, it sits right on lot line which also makes it look backwards and the small patio on it is lined up with everyones front yards. One side also has hot setting sun on the patio. We have 3 months of 100 degrees yet snow a bit in winter because we are high desert at 4,000 feet and wind gusts. Partly why I follow many in different areas. We also have wind gusts up to 40mph. But since the reed is somewhat open I wonder if it will not blow down or away. Things do here. We have to batten down the hatches!

    Good Idea! Looks tidy and attractive. The direction sign is quite beautiful! Signs should work for visitor path flow. I was thinking a self guided tour walking map at the entry may also help people stay on desired retail area pathway. It would be good also to include on the map the areas accessible by wheelchairs/carts.

      I did the same, using the reed fencing over the cinder block back fence. It gives a better feel to the yard, not as stark. I secured it with vine anchors and liquid nails, and twist ties through the anchors and around the reeds. The reeds cut the radiant heat from the blocks, and the roses survive, as well as the veggies in the garden.

    Oh my gosh I almost missed an episode. I'm laughing now because I step off to measure distance too. I try to use as few tools because I might be 50 yards from where their stored or on a job I have to fix a problem for someone and I have no tools. By the way I have always wanted a reed or bamboo screen ever since I saw one on episode of the Victory Garden many years ago. You never fail to produce videos that are so useful and address things I need to know. 🏆🎯 I don't know if you can answer this. But I have a pole pounder like yours. It has a spring inside to buffer some of the vibration and shock. My problem is the spring has been stuck and doesn't bounce anymore. I can't seem to get it to spring back out. It's forced up inside. Thank you so much Jason. If you were selling reusable mud. I would buy. Lol😆🍀🐞

  • @MartinaSchoppe
    @MartinaSchoppe 2 года назад +3

    From experience with reed fences: try to stabilise it by running horizontal wires between the posts and tying it to the wires (preferably the same hight as the wires in the matt). Especially on the upper part of the mat. If you don't the slightest wind will just rip the reeds where you tied it to the posts and the whole thing will flop over. Especially bad is windy wet weather, because then the stuff will get wet and too heavy for the flimsy reed thingies to keep the rest of the mat upright. I'd put cattle panels or something like that along side it and tie it to that. Otherwise, I'm afraid it will go flying in the next tiny breeze. Which is not awesome when that thing flattens stuff you've just planted in front of it...

    • @MartinaSchoppe
      @MartinaSchoppe 2 года назад +1

      Mine (same hight as yours) even had a wire mesh fence on the neighbors side (about one Meter high) as "back up" - and it flopped over exactly at the hight of the wire mash fence...). No matter how many posts and how many ties on each post I put in... :(

    Seeing your comment about permannet bushes for privacy later we got hawthorne as i noted above they need to survive freeze as well as heat. We saw them edging a drug store parking lot where old buildings were beside it. They let them grow natural which is how I like my bushes anyway. They got really tall about 10 feet and they had planted somewhat close but not too close to allow airiness. We planted last spring to eventually grow to cover the wornn looking fence between our back yard and a metal tool shed where we have a total view of the high Sierra mountains in Southern California including the tallest mountain. But the fence and tool shed ends up in most pics unless i crop to a long narrow image. Im checking if hawthorne is the correct name! Yes the one with pink flowers snow white or pink lady i see it called. I have to learn more plants and natives that survive here. We moved 4 years ago and Im in plant shock and envy. We lived coastal southern california where i could plant seedsand propagate almost anything about 11 months a year. We had 2 seasons. 11 months of nice and one one of oh yeah it rains and its Christmas! Interestingly true English lavendar grows here which had me finding your page looking up how to propagate it. So sages and wild kind of plants work too. I got a rosemary bush too.

      You bet. You can see from the walk-through at the end that if you look at it straight-on, it's fairly easy to see through (which Lisa kind of likes in terms of still being able to see the farm from the back deck). So it's definitely more of a visual cue than a hard privacy screen, at least until we plant the area.

    • @FraserValleyRoseFarm
      @FraserValleyRoseFarm  2 года назад

      I see your point. I think *private* is one of those terms you can use with a qualifier ("relatively" or "very") and not just as an absolute. No, it's not opaque (and neither is the one I made with boards on the side of the deck) nor would I really want a completely solid structure. I think of it like in a restaurant - if you asked for a booth because you wanted a more private dining experience. Now, the booth is probably open on one side (for the server) and even the screens or dividers may be easy to see through or around if you set your mind to it - but as you're sitting there enjoying your meal, they offer the *feeling* of a more private dining experience. That's the same with our privacy screens. It offers the customer a way to walk the garden beds without feeling like an intruder, and it would offer me a way to enjoy the back deck without feeling cut off from the rest of the yard. For what it's worth, wrapping the reed around and doubling it to the other side of the orchard post makes it a far more robust screen without too much more effort.

    • @FraserValleyRoseFarm

      No, I don't think the reeds themselves will hold up to much. They're woven into thin wire which is a little more supportive, but since we have the posts in anyhow, it wouldn't be much trouble to anchor in a few hooks and string some heavier cables to train climbers onto.
