Good Cemetary Fences


Beaufort, North Carolina

I went to the cemetery in Beaufort searching for several weird and unusual graves.  I didn't find them.
But to not come away empty handed I got the Beaufort Cemetery fence for Good Fences.

How would you like to have to paint this fence?  Notice the drip marks on the sidewalk.

Check out TexWisGirl's GOOD FENCES for more fence fotos.

I like the variation in heigh of the fence. Makes it more venerable by still using normal material.

That is a fence you can't miss when passing by. Must have been painted recently, it looks so clean and bright.

A great fence John, looks like it is in the process of being painted, and no I am not putting my hand up for the job.

...with you pointing out the drops of paint on the walk, reminds me of Tom Sawyer.

Very interesting, and yes, a nightmare to paint.

Oh yes, that is one interesting fence, very nice. I like checking out stories and gravestones in the cemetery too! Keep looking.

That is one interesting fence. I like finding stories and unusual gravestones too! I posted a second comment, not sure if my first went through.

Great fence! I think I'd pull a Tom Sawyer when it came to painting it, though.

John, the eastern Sierras are GORGEOUS in the fall, especially October. I took 2 days off school one year and we spent 4 days there (actually, 2 were driving days...)...It is well worth it!

I love the way the top of the fence in not straight across.

What a lovely fence. I like the top on it :)

You did find a great looking and "unusual" fence. The varying heights of the posts is quite fascinating.

cemeteries are usually great places to get some photos... man... that is a lot of tiny spindly bits to paint.....
