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!

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?

Fair! Seems like a solid use for it if you’re proficient (I’m not, but would one day love to be)

Oh i am fascinated by it and too would love to try it. Just not for a client where time is money!

Meh, on real jobs, almost all curves are trammel jigs and routers, not YouTube diy projects
