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 them, each spaced by 2 studs, like railway track. Then,
put more 2x8 plates underneath in the gaps.
I'm not sure there's anything on Shop@Home to help you stand it upright, but
brown 2x2-2x2 brackets from droid fighters are a good idea. Or, you could
mount the fence on ROSCO's 1x2 posts.
If this is too big and chunky, you could use a single layer of plates for
the horizontals, held together by the vertical plates. Or, use 1x6s for the
verticals for narrower shutters.

| Thanks, everyone for all of the good ideas. Hopefully I will have some free time available during the Thanksgiving holiday to try them out. -Duane (23 years ago, 16-Nov-01, to lugnet.town)
