Hog Wild

So, the upper deck at the front door will remain, but all around it will be different.  The access will be moved to the driveway side and the heavy railings will be replaced, hopefully, with something like you see below.  These are hog panels…yeah, I know…my own pig pen!

The panels run, on average, $20 each.   I love the idea of these budget railings since they can be DIYed easily.  The owners of this house took all the photos below….with more here.  A great solution that I hope to steal once the mudfest subsides.  I’m thinking we’ll probably stain the wood which will (hopefully) add to the look.

    The hog panels are fantastic! they won’t ruin the view the way most railings do.

    Fantastic look on a small
    budget or not! What a great solution. Can’t wait to see it in situ.

    oh, I love this idea. so deliciously formally gridded – but utilitarian and affordable. A modernists dream material.

    Glad everyone loves these railings, it is our house that we built in Texas and I do have a pet pot belly pig so it was just the appropriate thing to do.
