At the edge of the sidewalk in front of our house, we placed a homemade sign and fence. The pickets were left over from a large wind storm that blew down our real fence. I saved the pieced and my son hammered them together in a pattern I laid out on the ground for him. I think he did a good job. The gray color is watered down paint that my five year old brushed on each picket. The beware sign in the foreground is the original color of the pickets.
