Bamboo Fence: Half-moon Rising

[Mark Meckes]

In our garden, Spring 2002
Made during the last few moments of the day, in the light of the rising moon... such is how this fence got it's name.
Very quick and easy to make, this fence utilizes the top portions of larger poles in which about an inch or so, (2-3cm) of branch stub is left intact to `lock' the pieces into each other during the construction process.

No string or any fastening devices were used, as the woven bamboo pieces secure each other.
Design variations of this fence are many.
