Decorative Wheel Fence Built From Cable Spools
 |
 |
“It didn’t cost much to build and it’s an attractive addition to our place,” says Green.
The fence stands about 5 ft. high and is made from the cable spool ends with 1 1/2-in. wide rims. He used a chopsaw to cut the spool ends in half and welded them together side by side onto a length of 1 1/2-in. sq. tubing, which runs horizontally a few inches above the ground. He filled in the spaces between the wheels by welding in partial spool sections. The center parts of the spools are supported by steel T-posts strapped to the horizontal tubing.
“I built a total of about 120 ft. of fence like this,” says Green. “The fence extends from both sides of our barn back to a shed and has an opening in it where there’s a cattle guard. My only cost was a little bit of welding.”
