A good reference of designs for late 19th century fences We bought this book because we were looking for ideas for a fence. This would be an excellent reference for someone with a Victorian style home. The book also has some simpler fence designs, but most are quite ornate.
Good pictures, design ideas. Good intro to building a gate I purchased this book because I was building an outdoor gate for the first time, and I needed the “how-to” of designing a gate, both from a structural and an asthetic perspective. This book was perfect for this beginner gate designer – good examples, pictures and design ideas.
