We love this garden fence design! Sure it’s huge but the care and thought that went into the bordering fence is exceptional. Wood planks are used when creating the perimeter and are stained in a  golden cedar color.

These days pallets can be repurposed into just about anything. From coffee tables to artwork and even fences. This fence idea is a low built fence that was made to protect a modest vegetable patch.
