Help us match this garden fence, please!

Still 'tis the time for spending more time outside the house than in, and that's ok, except for collecting dust, bunny fur, laundry, etc. Anyway...




We bought these garden fence panels last year at either Home Depot or Lowe's, I forget. They are 2 ft. wide and 9 in high, not counting the stake/legs. No place seems to have anything remotely similar now, and we need a bunch more, maybe 10+. If anyone has seen any, or something similar, in the Chicago area or on-line/mail order, any tips would be greatly appreciated. We'd happily do something even more Craftsman/bungalow style but can't seem to find much of that either, aside from way pricey custom made things which we're not quite up for yet.

Thanks!!

Hooked on TiVo...

Ok, I'm sure I'm not the only one, but dang, it's a house-obsessed geek's dream come true. I have wishlists for "bungalow" and "Arts Crafts" and "brick" and "plaster" and "stone" (having
picked the home improvement category to remove the programs about Sharon and Oliver) and "plumbing" and I forget how many other keywords...(not to mention the Brosnan, Pierce, keywords, and so on, but that's a whole 'nother topic).

Such fun late at night, surfing the guide data, running wishlists, Bee-Boop, Boo-Beep...kind of soothing, really, till the spouse sees I have added 5 hours of shows in the next few days, and we are already close to capacity with those exercise shows we keep meaning to use and the documentaries we are never in the mood to watch but can't just delete...


G'night...
