Step 1, draw the outline. Step 2, finish the fence.
unannouncedguest
I was in awe until it got painted, that made it super tacky
ataradov
That will insta crack as soon as someone leans on it.
TheSillyDragon
Yes! Make lots of holes and grooves for water to pool in... brilliant.
MatthewJohnsona
Gotta make fake cracks that will turn into real cracks as soon as it gets too wet or cold.
EaNasirIsABastard
Maybe the region doesn't get ice?
True but doesn't really matter. If there isn't enough cover to the rebar, water will get in and it will rust, cracking the concrete.
Wowter99
Who wood believe it's concrete?
themoreIknow
Robnoxiousness
Disneyland. I know this isn’t it, but I remember fake wood in ‘that’ tree house. It bothered me… more than it should for a 10-year old. :-/
titaniumsnail
I have been the same since I was a kid. Fake anything just rubbed me the wrong way and a reason I don't like amusement parks. Just fake.
donttrustthemoon
No trees were hurt during the making of this fence
ReturnOfActionCheese
I started off "Na those guys are idiots" Then its like "Yeah they probably know what they are doing"
Avrgjoe80
I started off "man, I'd like to live there.." then it's like "nah, probably not.."
CrazyViruss
you mean like this?
Dagordae
Really? I went from ‘These guys are idiots’ to ‘These guys are seriously idiots’. That fence is weak as shit, it won’t stand up to even
Light use. Concrete doesn’t flex for shit and it’s internal scaffolding is far too weak to compensate for their choice of material.
YoSamiteSam
Safety railings shouldn't have holes bigger than 4 inches, and no horizontal footholds. A kid is gonna climb that or get their head stuck.
Crazypuppet
Yeah me too

I started "WTF?" and ended "Awesome!"

It looks cool but i fear itll be cracked and flaked in short order

Rest of the fucking owl potential

Wait till you see them make a concrete looking fence outta wood. Mind blowing!
Sokonomi
Then some fat kid leans on it and it all cracks and flakes off.
netutoring
Wouldn't even take a fat kid.

No gloves makes me worried for their hands

I thought you meant a metaphorical fence, but it was concrete

Those gaps appear to be larger than 4", yes?
green110
Look at the state of the floor though...... Thats NEVER getting cleaned....
valiantaesir
Thats pretty fuckin' sweet. I'd pay for a fence like that.

This video is concrete evidence of human craftsmanship.

Wow that would take forever.

Brilliant masters at their craft.

All that work to make it look like wood when they could have just used wood, which is more environmentally friendly.

The wood would break down faster and need to be replaced with more dead trees. This will probably last for ages and only need new paint.
Concrete plus rain (distilled water) equals mineral oxides. Plus the metal creates a temperature differential accelerating the breakdown.
It won’t last any time at all. Concrete has a worse strength/weight ratio, doesn’t handle flexing for shit, and the grooves they carved in
Are going to graduate to actual cracks as soon as winter rolls around. There’s quite a few reasons why concrete isn’t the normal material.
quintessentialrob
As an engineer, we prefer to use material that will last with very little maintenance. This also has more strength for the pattern.
As an engineer: That’s why you DON’T use concrete for stuff like this. The internal scaffolding is far too weak to compensate for concrete’s
Rigidity and shit strength to weight ratio. It’s going to fall to pieces far quicker than wood and be far harder to repair when it does.
AltruisticMoron
My only thought was the freeze thaw on all those little cracks will destory this.. then realized, probably not in an area with winters
I'd wager the correct wood, sealed, would last longer and have less maintenance than concrete, but has higher upfront costs
With reapplication of the sealant required every year or three. Not worth it IMO.

Looks okay, but seems flimsy.

dmitrizzle
These things always look like shit in person.
zysis
They'd look like shit out of person too
SherMattLockSmith
Give it 2 years and it will all be cracking and disintegrating.
CouldYouPleaseRatherNot
All that extra work and they make a repeated pattern!?!
WisconsinCentral2714
probably easier to fabricate
tinyCabbage
you try coming up with 100 of different pattern that looks like wood
FuryM0nk
monkey brain like patterns
No, monkey brain think pattern dumb, wants throw bannana fueled shit throwing tantrum..

BitchButcher
Not patterns per se. Monkey brain like fractals!
Justboredtobehere
That's a lot of work to make a wooden fence.
AdrianDunne
That surprised me, particularly when they aren't pre-welded sections.
procrastinatortwo
Yes, with holes big enough for any five-year-old to fit through.
AllForFee
You know, I thought the same thing, and an inspection would not pass, then realized it looks like China. OHSA trembles at that.
ScionofOgma
If a kid decides to do something stupid, no one but the parents are at fault
It’s still nice to design public places in a way that structures benefit all members of society. This fence does not exist for children.
That's fair, I just find that kids who learn not to do something, the hard way, tend to be more responsible and generally more well rounded
NikolaiJakovtheheadoftheKGB

Cement is zero percent concrete.
TomatoPepper
Maybe a 30%
One hundred percent abstract.
Styreta
Well the fences are prolly mass produced in set bits
GodofBacon
Damn, seems like a lot of downvotes for someone who actually understands production.
Yea im amazed too :/
FlintNorth44
They...they were making it on the spot.
No they were assembling them on the spot. The skeleton dictating the pattern is likely produced elsewhere in bulk hence the repeat
ArtOfKarolMichalec
Nah they mean the middle bit is done off site and welded to the poles
TheMadOnion
Very likely what's happening. Still, this requires significantly more effort than most others I'll give them that.
slidewhistlesymphony
China? China.
KoalaFire
What a stupid comment... No matter where this is, this looks damn good and is massive...
MenloPart
...for now...
Southeast Asia is full of such structures: benches, tables, fences. They age poorly, unfortunately. A strange blend of nature and culture…
AisforApple
haters will say it's concrete
Quizz25S
That's art.

Yes, and to get concrete, first you get some cement.

Just likeI like to eat some cinnamon wheat flour with y coffee.

Concrete requires gravel. That's all cement
CheddarIsBeddar
Could this possibly be mortar mix if it's all the components minus gravel? ?
Yeah I don't know anyone that doesn't add sand to their cement powder. It would Crack and chip if you didn't.
Multipew
No gravel, it's mortar
verticalbaconsandwich
It is concrete!
No, it's mortar
It's definitely not cement though
