Make Your Own Fencing
Based on Pyro's Dios Supplies 1) 3' Aluminum Gutter Guard - Found at any hardware store on the roofing and gutter isle - approx. $2.99 2) 18 gauge Aluminum wire - Found at any hardware store - aprox. $3.45 for a 50' roll. 3) Evergreen Scale Models 3/16" diameter styrene rods - Found at your local hobby store or Evergreen Scale Models - product #226 - approx. $2.99 NOTE: They make wooden and aluminum rods as well, but styrene is cheaper and easier to cut in my opinion. 4) Your choice of gray/silver acrylic spray paint - approx. $2.99 and up depending on brand. 5) Screwdriver 6) Wire cutters 7) Pliers 8) X-acto knife 9) Measuring device - ruler or tape measure Cutting 1) Remove the product sticker and gutter tabs (w/ screwdriver) from the gutter guard. Cut in 4qty 9" pieces. 2) Cut the styrene rods in 3qty 7" pieces and 2qty 8 1/2" pieces. Then spray paint and let dry. 3) Cut the 18 gauge wire in 2qty 3' pieces and 15qty approx. 2" pieces. Assembling 1) Use the 2" pieces of wire to tie the 7" rods vertically to the ends of the 9" gutter guard. Put the wire through the guard and twist around the rod at the top, middle, and bottom. Twist twice with your fingers. Then use the pliers to grip the wire closest to the rod and give it two extra twists to tighten it up. Cut off excess. 2) Join the two pieces of guard together at the center with your third 7" rod. Insert the wire through both pieces and twist around the rod in the same manner as the last step to basically form a hinge. 3) Attach the 8 1/2" rods horizontally across the top the same way as the vertical rods. 4) Coil the 3' wire around a broom handle with coils approx. 1" apart. 5) Twist the ends of the coiled wire around the vertical rods. DONE!
