Looking a lot like a Gabion basket wall, a creative fence design in progress in a bungalow back yard on the 6700 block of N. Talman.

It doesn't look quite done. Do you have any updates on it?
Hi James,
The wire in the photo didn't hold -too light weight. Our neighbor removed all of it and started over with some rigid metal grids which still are bulging slightly and would benefit from some metal cross-ties. Overall the effect is very nice, if you'll contact me directly I will send you a photo.
