In my country we use lots of these. I'm from the Netherlands and we call it a takkenril.
The idea is you can keep filling it and evrything fits.

Ive actually been planning on making this kind of fence around part of my garden. I didn’t have the supplies this year but I’ve been working on a sort of temporary fence.Do you know that you can build your own fences, raised beds, shade-panels, trellises and much more for little to no money? If you have shrubs and/or trees on your property you already have the required building material in your possession to build wattle-fences, for example.
What is a wattle-fence? - Pretty simple: You turn the garbage from the last pruning into fences by weaving the most straight twigs between posts, made out of thicker branches. The result looks something like in the picture from Wikipedia below:

I have started to build my first wattle-fence around one of the veggie beds to keep the ducks out and i will update this thread with more pictures and text later. Just wanted to get this thread started!
Please feel free to share your thoughts and experiences!
I would think it would actually hold up fairly well depending on how tight it’s woven. There should be plenty of air gaps. I’ve seen them at historical sights and they seem to hold up pretty well.I'm just wondering how that will hold up to the wind? I'd hate to do all of that for it to just blow down. Ask the little pig that built his house out of sticks!
Wind shouldn't be a problem at all as there are plenty of gaps in the fence. My fence wouldn't stop any predator, but if will keep the veggie-thief's (aka Ducks) out. No trampled Zucchini this year!I'm just wondering how that will hold up to the wind? I'd hate to do all of that for it to just blow down. Ask the little pig that built his house out of sticks!
