Originally written in 1900 - multiple editions since. The variety/ingenuity of different fences/gates for different purposes was examined. It gave a wealth of examples. The weak side was the very poor graphics. Made it difficult to understand how some of them were put together. Still a nice addition for those who will want to make fences to keep deer and rabbits out of their gardens. Or, just to prepare for armageddon.
very outdated but funny to read. not very practical.
Wonderful reprint of a charming 1900 manual!
