Wow!! Colin this is incredibly fascinating! I had never heard of these, nor for that matter this kind of fence making.....this is repurposing to the Nth degree. While it is horrifying in a sense, to arms historians such as myself, to see these arms in this context, in a way it is better than losing them to the scrap heap and smelter. Looking forward to further input, perhaps a new thread? |

If anyone knows of more instances of fences made from old weapons..., please do so.
Below is a fence made from artillery shells in Brighton, a suburb of Melbourne in Australia. It is a corner property & the fence is along two sides. |

Incredible topic and quite fascinating! I agree with Jim that these 'memorials' are a much better fate to these historically important items. Reminds me of the tomb of Otway Burns, a famous privateer and later North Carolina government representative. His tomb has a cannon barrel set into the stone.
