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 (25 years ago, 16-Nov-01, to lugnet.town)
