Title: fencing with pallets
Post by: new_2_veg on July 03, 2007, 14:50

im feeling quite smug today, i have just made a run of fencing with some pallets someone managed to get me, my veg plot (one of them) is not totaly fenced off from the rest of the garden and safe from the dogs at last, looks just like paddock fencing  :D

We have loads of pallets at work, we strip them down for stakes at the moment, but would love to see your fence, as I would like a little one for round the shed.
By the way, we are always told never to put a padlock on the suitcase, is that only for the USA?

With so much suspicion over luggage bombs or carrying possible explosive material, luggage locks are an invitation to check for these items. A few sticky fingers along the way in baggage handling don't help. Cameras in luggage could also be construed as carrying relevant information. Sad that we live in such a suspicious and ofttimes vicious world.  :cry:
