Metal garden structures.(Design notes)(Battle Hill Forge)
Woven wattles are one of the world's oldest methods of making fences. Composed of staked set in the ground and interwoven horizontally with strips of split wood, vines, or other flexible vegatation, wattle enclosures have been used by farmers to keep in small or to break the force of strong winds. Recently gardeners have adopted shorter versions of woven wattle fences to edge or to separate the borders of flower and vegetable beds. While utilitarian and decorative, the twig ends eventually break off and the fence begins to look tattered. Israel "Izzy" Fitch and his colleagues jeffery Van Am and William Blass of Battle Hill Forge have solved the tattering problem by inventing seven-inch-high wattle fencing made of iron (see above). Formed from two-inch flat rods, the fences can be rolled up for easy transportation, and will last indefinitely.

Fitch has worked with metal since he was a child when he made armor for his toy animals. He and Van Am took a welding class together, realized that they liked doing metal work, and decided to open Battle Hill Forge in Falls Village, in Litchfield county, Connecticut, in 2006. There, in addition to the wattle fencing, they make a variety of useful and ornamental wares.
