Good Fences Make Good Neighbors

If good fences make good neighbors, what do good stockades do? Rural Ways just completed construction on this one along our northern border. It seems a little intimidating, and is probably overkill, but it should make life easier for property owners on both sides.

Our neighbors have a chicken flock with a tendancy to stray. We don't dislike chickens, and don't dislike our neighbors, but we don't want the chickens in our garden during spring planting: chicken scratching tends to disrupt seeds and seedlings alike. The old fence along the property line was a porous eye-sore, and the chickens knew it. So, we decided to replace it with something that would work (and look) better. Hopefully, we've succeeded.
