I'm working on an assembly yard (too big for a single building, I've already tried) for a vehicle that is under construction. The area is a minimum of 3 x 4 baseplates, it may grow later. I would like to build a fence around it to keep all of the (...) (23 years ago, 14-Nov-01, to lugnet.town, lugnet.trains)

I don't know if there IS an economical way, as you are generally going to want to put vertical plates in place, and just about any part necessary to do that isn't that economical on a grand scale. You could use 1x1 headlight bricks, or technic (...) (23 years ago, 14-Nov-01, to lugnet.town)

(...) Or possibly have posts with 1x2 technic bricks, with 1/2 technic pins in the hole. You can attach plates (studs-on-side) to the pins. You could do the posts 1x1 if you have a bulk supply of 1x1 technic bricks. ROSCO (23 years ago, 14-Nov-01, to lugnet.town)

(...) I have an idea for a shuttered fence, built using bulk bricks from Shop@Home. Get a load of 1x6 plates, and lay down two lines 4 studs apart. Add a second row on top to join them all together into long lines. Then, place 2x8 plates across (...) (23 years ago, 16-Nov-01, to lugnet.town)

Here is my idea of a fence, you only need lots of (bulk) 1 x 6 plates, and four 1 x 3 plates (two at each end) per straight run of fence. It does't require any bracked type parts to place the fence verticaly, the plate posts can be placed between (...) (23 years ago, 16-Nov-01, to lugnet.town)

I have an idea that uses 1x1 bricks, 1x3 plates and 1x8 tiles. Very simple for straight runs, 1x3 elbow plates do corners. 1x1 plates for top caps or and decor you like. I have a picture of the idea at... (URL) Carcanague (23 years ago, 16-Nov-01, to lugnet.town)

(...) Hey! I like that. Not really what I'm looking for, but nice and simple. Kind of reminds me of the fence that we had around the yard when I was growing up on the ranch. Good job. -Duane (23 years ago, 19-Nov-01, to lugnet.town)
