The New Trend In Privacy Fencing!


Alternately titled: Does this make us trashy people?

Alternately titled: Airing out dirty clean laundry.

Alternately titled: Necessity is indeed the mother of invention.

I suppose this looks like an average clothes line. Yeah well, you're wrong. This, my friends (and family), is a state of the art new trend in privacy fencing thought up by none other than yours truly right here in the heart of Kansas.


This new fencing will hide neighbors unsightly keep prying eyes out and give an aesthetically pleasing environmentally friendly new look to your back yard.

Not only is this new fencing attractive environmentally friendly, it's also multifunctional! It allows you to fence in pets, fence out critters and also utilizes the power of the sun to dry your clothes!

On sale now at your local Tractor Supply, Orsheln's or other farm store today. (Clothes pins sold separately. Some assembly required. Many styles to choose from.)

Is it sad that I just made up a sales gimmick for this?

Is it sadder that I am seriously using our cattle panel back yard fence as a clothes line?

Is it sadder yet that we HAVE a dryer and I am still hanging the laundry out like this, or that we have trees to string a line or that I WALK up and down a hill to hang clothes out?

Or is the whole thing just pathetic and trashy?

Maybe the saddest part about the whole thing is that I've actually gotten good at utilizing the space of the vertical clothes line so much so that I can put 3 loads of laundry in half the amount of space that it used to take when we moved in 2 weeks ago. How's that for resourceful!

I'd say the whole darn thing is resourceful. Trashy albeit, but hey, a penny saved is a penny earned and if drying the clothes on our cattle panel back yard fence saves the dryer from running up the meter, so be it. Call me Mrs. Parsimonious!

P.S. We do have a clothesline solar dryer, it's waiting for a t post to be pound into the ground and we've just had other things that were more important to get to. So, my cattle panel fence turned solar dryer is doin' the job famously for now.
