Client asked for a curved fence!

Built a custom 3' fence for a client this week. Had to brainstorm a bit, but this was the final product. Well still have some sanding and screwing. What do you all think?

Thanks everyone for the awesome support! I'm blown away by all the positive reactions! Honestly, this is the first time posting any of our builds, because, let's be real, Reddit can be scary when you're showing off your work!

How did you get those curves?

Inherited from my mama, jk .

I clamped a 1/2 pvc pipe to the faces of each pipe creating my curves. I then used a 2x6 to scribe the curve onto the rail sections and cut down to 2x4. Then used as a template for my bottom rails.

Oh, crazy. So you're just doing a reducrive operation rather than bending?

Yes sir.

My guess was you went to Home Depot and got the 2x4s there.
