Can’t find a fence style to suit your house, tired of the ordinary and longing for something different for your property? This was the motivation that propelled Harrison to search for thirteen years gathering together unique discoveries from Massachusetts to Florida. Yes, there are any number of “how to” books on building fences and gates, but FENCES, by Peter Joel Harrison is not one of them. This pattern book depicts historic styles, Colonial, Georgian, Classical, Greek Revival, Gothic, Italianate, Victorian and Stick; collected from renowned museum houses and privet dwellings; paled fences, picket fences, board, and rail fences. Included are period construction methods and Trade terms. Forty-eight authentic shapes for palings with numerous meticulous details of caps, balls and urns. All make it possible to style your own creation. There is no longer any reason to struggle; searching for ideas.
