Adding a Privacy Panel or Fence Extension for propogating persimmon vine clones to grow over. Without digging post holes or mixing any concrete!

test fitting all the joints one last time before onsite assembly glue-up
4" redwood strips 1/4" thick weaved into frame
Steam bending the weaved boards was necessary to prevent breaking




Privacy panel was supported by (3) 2 1/2" galvanized steel pipes pile driven >30" below grade. there was no way to dig any post holes or pour cement without destroying the existing vegetation  
6 months later
1 year after installation. Almost seams silly to have weaved anything now.
