simple and wonderful
Spectacular but unfortunately I'm unable to imagine the function value of the fence, besides it being a sculpture.
actually its min is 3 pcs width is 6" and Max is 7 pcs 14", made from solid 1" x 2" corten steel linked with 1/2" steel rods. I spent 6 weeks laying this thing out in solidworks. and another month with the shop foreman laying out the real parts. They went out in 18-20' sections and were adjusted and pre welded and adjusted to fit the curvature of the land, so no 2 sections are actually alike. This fence weighs approx 150 pounds per linear foot. At one point during the cranes setup a temp weld near one of the pivot points gave out near the cranes attaching points, a worker got his thumb pinched, he was lucky it didn't cut it off. It is welded pretty solid if it actually were to move it would be like a guillotine for the local animals trying to get in or out.
