If the backyard of your house is absolutely open to neighbors, then we offer you instructions for making interesting fence strips. So, the fence will not only protect your privacy, but also a fun work of art!
Step 1: Collect tools and materials:
• pot 51 centimeters in diameter
• 2 pcs. pine boards 30.48 cm x 15.24 cm.
• 2 pcs. wooden studs, and 2 pcs. wooden planks 1.27 cm x 19 cm x 533 cm
• template (download and print the PDF presented in this manual)
• milling machine
• Sander
• circular saw or hand saw and wood
• chisel
• concrete (cement)
• Container for mixing concrete

The templates are larger in size than the standard paper size (A4), so you will need to print on several sheets and collect them.
In this manual, the “male” panel is made 175.26 cm long and the “female” panel is 172.72 cm. You can change the length of the trims as you wish.
To transfer the template “men” to the wooden surface you need 7.6 cm lower from the top of the pine plank, and “women” - 10.16 cm. Make sure that the couple looked as if they were looking at each other.
Step 3: cut the boards
Using a milling machine, start cutting the printed pattern. Do not worry about bumps in the sawn places, we will process them later. The pine surface is sufficiently malleable and it will not be difficult for you to polish it by hand grinding.
Step 4: Cover the surface
Wipe off all dust from the panels and apply paint of the desired color on them.
Step 5: Make The Frame
Prepare 2 planks with a height of 170.2 cm. We make small notches on them: the first is 22.86 cm lower from the top of the plank, the second is 91.45 cm. The distance between the planks should be 17.8 cm.
You will also need 2 more slats 53.4 cm high. Lay them horizontally in place of the recesses. And fix them with bolts.
Step 6: Assembling Structures
Now, we will take up a sustainable foundation. First, put a newspaper at the bottom of the pot. Install the frame as evenly as possible in the center. Secondly, take the cement and gradually pour it into the pot, then add water and let dry.
Step 7: Installing Panels
After the panels for the fence are made, install them and lock.
Congratulations! You have just completed a project to produce unique panels for the fence in the shape of a woman and a man! This is a very special fence to protect privacy.
