I found this unusual fence in the Mystic area of Connecticut
Although it looks like a chain, the chain links are constructed of wood.
"Wood Chain Fence"
"Designed Built and Erected by Albert Bonamo, Age 73"
1954
A look back,
I wondered about how long it took to construct this wood fence.
I wish that information had been included with the information on the sign.

Wooden links... how interesting. They will never rust.
Really different and a great chain link fence made from wood! That must have taken years to construct and assemble and it has stood the test of time.
Have a great day, Debbie!
Hello, Debbie! I love the view of the water and boats. The wood chain link fence is different, very cool. Happy Thursday, enjoy your day!
It's a perfect fence for that seafaring vibe. I'm sure it took quite some time to make.
That is just too cool, wow I do bet that took a lot of time! We went there while we lived in Jersey but didn't see that, it looks like you had just gorgeous weather while you were there!
Wonderful.....
very cool :)
That is fantastic!!! LOVE that wood chain!!!!
It is a very interesting and cool fence. I have never seen anything like it before.
I'd bet that there is a story about him and the fence somewhere on the internet. Maybe in the town's history. It certainly is very unique.
Wow I love that! And he was 76?! Impressive!
That's a really unusual chain. I have never seen one that is made of wood before..lovely to see it
translated: Fantastic these photos. A hug and continuation of a good week
That is a gorgeous fence!!! I like it a lot.
Now that is one neat fence! I don't think I have ever seen a wooden chain fence before. Very unique, my friend. Hugs!
That is amazing! I've never seen one like it...a wooden chain! WOW! have you googled it to learn more? Hugs, Diane
That is a very unique fence for sure.
I've never, ever seen a chain/wood fence. That's so clever, and I can only imagine how long to build. I like it! :)
That is so cool!!!!
I just love the look of this fence ... amazing.
All the best Jan
that is SO cool! my sweet uncle, who was a woodsmith, once carved an 8 foot section of chain-link out of one contiguous piece of wood - carving each link already linked in to the next piece, etc. it was amazing!
Neat! Thanks for including the sign.
I am going to have to look for that fence the next time I am in the Mystic area. Thanks for sharing.
This is my kind of fence! I'm with you, I wonder how long he worked on it. I love your low point of view on the fence.
That's got to be the neatest fenec I've ever seen! I just think about the work involved in carving that, and I'm astonished. What a great find.
That sure is one cool and unusual fence for sure. What a beautiful place to be!
That is one of the coolest fences I've ever seen! Love it! Fantastic craftsmanship!
Wow Debbie this one is Awesome!
That is an amazing fence! Love it.
Wow, a wood chain fence; that is unique and amazing. It would have taken a while for build this one. Loved the photos! Hugs~
