 | | Building Fences —Duane Hess
|
| | | 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)

The final fence will only cover a single baseplate but will be a (...) (23 years ago, 14-Nov-01, to lugnet.town)

Well if you don't really care about being able to see through the fence, I use 1x1 bricks with 1x1 plate with clip horizontal stacked on top, 2 pairs high, then technic straws (flex system (...)

| | | | | | (...) 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)
