excellent video, clear, concise, no waffle, much appreciated :-)
Hi there! And thank you! So glad you enjoyed the video! ☺️🌿Rochelle
I love the look of the wattle fence with the stones below❣ Amazing 👍
Hi there! Thank you so much ... I very much enjoy arranging rocks and utilizing them throughout our gardens. We have several rock walls on our property that provide an almost unlimited source. ☺️ ~Rochelle
Looks great. Hello from Australia !!
Hi there!! Thank you so much, and welcome! We love that we have viewers from all over the world - so cool! ❤️🌿~ Rochelle
BEAUTIFUL!
Thank you!
Thanks for making it look so easy! (Well, at least doable.)
Hi there!! Definitely doable, albeit time-consuming 😆 One of the nice aspects is that you can work on it on your own time frame, little by little. ❤️🌿 Rochelle
Came out nice!
Thank you so much! ❤️ ~ Rochelle
Beautiful.
Thank you! ❤️🌿
Yes, for me it is amazing for inspiration and motivation.
It looks so harmoniuos, simple and it is from nature...human nature also ❤❤❤
Thank you so much and all the best to you all❤❤❤
Thank you for the kind comments ❤️ I agree, there is such beauty in the simple and the natural. 🌿-Rochelle
Well done!
Thank you!! ❤️
Heart rock at 4:07 middle! Beautiful fence. I started one today.
Thank you Lori! Our family likes to hold onto the heart shaped rocks that we find. It gives that nice little accent to a project like this. Best of luck on the fence build, I am sure it will be beautiful when its all done.
Excellent work! It's an ancient art, and nice to see it being incorporated into such a lovely home. Also a good excuse to plant stuff and start coppicing or pollarding trees that make good stock for future projects. A few Salix purpurea, for example, would provide plenty of whips for repairs to the fence over the years, and lovely baskets in between times! 😃
Thank you for those kind words! I love the suggestions, too - how brilliant! ❤️ ~Rochelle
👏 👏 👏
Wow! I'm impressed.
Thank you! ❤️
This is really inspiring and beautiful. Thank you for this idea!

That is stunning. Nice job!!
Thank you so much!! 💗
Awesome.....just what I am looking for!
I'm so glad you found this helpful! 🥰

Fantastic looking. It will be beautiful in summer with peas growing through it. BTW the "posts" are sails, and the "wattle" are wefts. In ye olde Emglish😊
Hi there! Thank you - I agree, I adore the look of vining plants along a fence line ❤️ Sails and wefts, how funny! Thank you for the insight 😁 ~Rochelle
It came out beautifully! You did a great job.
Thank you so much Lynn!! It is certainly a labor of love! 🤗💗🌿
One of your best videos so far. Good work Joe and Rochelle.
Just gorgeous!
Well thank you so much! ❤️ ~ Rochelle
You've done an excellent job on this wattle fence, really love it. I've been making these for years but never had one this long!
Hi there! Thank you so much! It sure is an unique craft and find myself looking for ways to make more of them 😆🌿 ~Rochelle
good job! it looks amazing!
Thank you so much!! 🩷
It looks great! What a lovely place! ❤️
Hi there! Thank you so much! A labor of love I always say 😉🩷
Tres nice!
Thank you! 💗
I think I will give it a try. I have a lot of sumac trees and they multiply like crazy. They will make the good steaks. Their branches do not make good waddle because they shrivel up. They kind of weird the ones with the leaves on them.
Go for it! I can't vouch for the sumac as we don't have those on our property, we have mostly pines which ended up being good for the stakes and the waddle parts.
Good job! See you have some slightly angled spars at top of the gate ….some diagonals from base by hinge to top by latch (i.e in compression) would make gate much stronger and stop it drooping.
Thank you! Ah, in agreement with you there - excellent suggestion. We plan to make another gate at the opposite end of the fence out of an old cedar tree. These tweaks will come in handy! 🌿 - Rochelle
looks good
Thank you! 💗
Great video! How far apart did you space the stakes and what did you do for a gate latch?
Thank you! We spaced them approximately 4-5 ft apart. We found the hinges and latch on Amazon:
Akatva T Hinge Set - 4 Piece Gate Hinges for Wooden Fences Heavy Duty - Barn Hinges for Doors - Black Hinges - Hinges for Shed Door - Door Hinges Black Matte - Hinges Outdoor - Fence Strap Hinge Set a.co/d/3gsF3b4
Iron Valley - 6.5" Lockable Gate Bar Latch - Cast Iron a.co/d/2zv5A9X
@@SproutingPathsHomestead Thanks! Pretty🙂
Do the limbs have to be alive? Can they be dead or won't that work?
Hi there! For me, working with fresh limbs was much easier. I did use some older branches and they were much more difficult to use. They worked out just fine but required much more "oomph" to wattle them in 😆
Did you weave with them green or did you dry and then soak later?
Hi there! Most of them I weaved green. I did use some older branches and, being new to making a wattle fence, did not soak them and those were most definitely difficult to work with.
What wood is it woven from? Can it be from a fig? Thanks for your reply.
Hi there! We used quite the random assortment - all of which were taken from our back woods. We focused on cutting down younger trees that would not have thrived due to competing with larger evergreens. Some were even taken from brush and bushes as well, such as honeysuckle. Hope this helps! 💛-Rochelle
I missed it, did you buy the posts or make them?
Hi there! We made them using slightly larger/sturdier branches and trunks 😊🌿- Rochelle
looks good seems like a lot less work than a split rail fence and more effective.
Most definitely! Thank you so much ❤️ ~Rochelle
I thought you were going to show how you built it....?
If you skip a little into the video about 30 seconds into the video it should explain what your looking for. Hope This helps!!
