Hey all, Does anyone have any ideas as to how one would build a chain link fence? the obvious solution to me is just a bunch of 1x1 bricks, stacked, with 1x8 plates running between them, but this looks a bit blocky. Does anyone know of any good (...) (20 years ago, 20-May-05, to lugnet.build)

Both of those are good ideas. I was kind of hoping of making something that a tank/truck could "bust through". The net would be better for that, but the grill looks a bit better. I also thought of using a bunch of these: (URL) I don't know how you'd (...) (20 years ago, 20-May-05, to lugnet.build)

(...) That looks nice. Though those connector bricks are kinda expensive on Brickbay. I mean Bricklink. :) Not as expensive as 8x8 grids, though. I wonder if a part (preferably a plate or tile) exists that "reverses" the stud and hole, and allows (...) (20 years ago, 20-May-05, to lugnet.build, FTX)

(...) That is how I do it. But, I don't make them that high. (...) Remove the 1x1x5 column and use a combination of 1x1x1 bricks and 1x1 plates & it would work. Jonathan (20 years ago, 20-May-05, to lugnet.build, FTX)

(...) Ah yes, the one piece that always comes up in the "wouldn't it be great if LEGO made this piece?" discussions. :) Yes, this fence is actually pretty flimsy, with those fence pieces held by only one stud. It would be so much sturdier if there (...) (20 years ago, 20-May-05, to lugnet.build, FTX)

(...) Is this the piece you're referring to: (URL) call it a "train signal mast", it's more than 8 studs long, and yes, you'll have a hard time getting a large quantity of those! -Bryan (20 years ago, 20-May-05, to lugnet.build)

(...) I used the grill for the overpass on my station - not a fence, but looks quite good. (URL) And it would be very easy to smash through from the inside, but that may not be what you want. ROSCO (20 years ago, 20-May-05, to lugnet.build)

Did you ever find a good, inexpensive solution? I'm looking for the same basic chainlink look, where the previously mentioned items are a little too bulky, yet not intimidating-looking enough? Is chainlink not used in Denmark? Aaron (...) (18 years ago, 17-Nov-06, to lugnet.build)
