Now you have me thinking...I bet you could make scale snow fence from flat-sided toothpicks and lengths of grey thread or thin craft wire. It would be tedious detail wok, but not difficult.

Dave - it looks good!

If you want easy and cheap - here's how I did mine: cheap place mat at Walmart and a few dowel rods cut down as posts. Simply measure the height you want and cut across the mat.

Dave I may just search Wally World and see if those place mats (or similar) are available. Then some dark orange paint........... :think:

Looking at those top photos, if Wally World has no joy, just wondering would a strip of flexible HO gauge model railroad track work?

Got my fence from Bed Bath & Beyond, was on a close table since there was only one.

Thinking 99 cents!!

Our local Wally World was no joy; I'll check places like Hobby Lobby. The flex track ties are a bit too widely spaced for my purposes. The search continues, meanwhile I can keep printing fence :mrgreen:

The dollar stores may have those bamboo plate mats too Dave. Thats where I got mine from.
The other thing used in older style tracks and dirt cheap is burlap strips with tooth pics for posts .
looks very real too.

Try the local IKEA. I bought the 14x18 bamboo placemats there in the kitchenware section for $2 each. I believe their keyword is 'Toga'. Do a search on the Ikea site for placemats and - -bingo! Color and thread tying them together seems like a great scale fit. A real bonus is the fact that they can bend around corners and also flexible enough to go up a 30 degree slope and still keep the reeds vertical/parallel. Thank you Swedes.
