Fences and gates play
an important role in forming the character
of an old house. A traditional fence
contributes to the historic character of
an old building: a fence of modern design
and materials will help to diminish
it.
The best published
source of designs for old fences is

the Details Right: Restoring Australian
Houses
1890s-1920s.
Look carefully at old fences and spend
some time studying the subject before
commissioning any work.
