Last Thursday I was helping a mate to get his railway ready for his open day on Sunday. I was having a furtle in his shed (as you do - well he's furtled in mine), when I came across some very fine garden mesh. I thought that this would be ideal for the security fence that I wanted to make around the entrance to the RAF siding. Anyhoo, next thing I knew, he gave me a length. Serves me right for furtling in his shed I s'pose?
When I got home I was wondering what to use as fence posts, when the wife found a stash of plastic chopsticks in a kitchen draw (such places are a mystery to me, I'm better in sheds).
One of the building kit manufacturers (Pola or Piko?) makes such security fencing, but it's WAAAYYY out of my price range. The posts were planted either into holes drilled into the LGB platform pieces (Araldited in), or hammered into the ground. Holes were drilled in the posts and little L shaped pieces of garden wire are super-glued into these holes to keep the mesh in place.
The mesh came in green, but was re-sprayed with grey primer. Hopefully it'll be cat proof, but if not, our cats will die.



Just got to make a gate for it next and, now that I know where everything is going, I'll give the ground inside the fence a skim of nice, smooth concrete.
