Fencing surrounding pelican enclosure, May 2014

One of the best things about this rather excellent small collection is the attention to detail. I very much like the way in which the various fences - of which there aren\'t many - have been softened by \'decorating\' them with branches, as here. It makes them appear to be a great deal less ostentatious.

Very nice fencing, also with the anoa enclosure. And cost-effective too I would imagine.

I wonder if that's intended to be the start of hedging?

I like it very much, but it appears to be all hand done so perhaps not so cost effective if anyone is getting a decent wage. Tacking up mesh would be cheaper than collecting branches of various sizes and cutting and weaving them.

Of course it's hand done, I don't think you can get machines that do that. I don't think it would take especially long to do either and this is a pretty small collection so it's not like they have people slaving away weaving miles of fences.

It is I am sure a cost-effective way of doing something aesthetically pleasing and different which tacking up mesh would not achieve.

I don't know much about this collection other than what I have read on here but this certainly shows a certain creativity and as sooty mangabey says, attention to detail.
