How interesting about the Carlow Fence. When first visiting last August, I noticed this pretty fence with plants growing along it. I especially recall one section just outside Bunclody along Barker's Road where the fence edges both sides of the road and is covered with plants creating a tunnel over the road. Enchanting scene to drive through this area. Looks tricky for driving with a 1.5 lane road with no road shoulder and people that zoom around the curves in this same area. I was so happy I could be a passenger and enjoy the views.

Thanks for the information on this and will send Michael an email. A Carlow fence is something that I may try out in my own garden in the future.
