| Summary: | wave fences Timber or "wave" fences . . . functioning as windbreaks, occasionally divided one meadow from another. . . p. 222 - Along the Cape Shore, but to a lesser extent near St. John's, sticks and branches were woven between either the vertical posts or horizontal rails and were referred to as "wave", "bush" or "riddlin" fences. Another variant was the picket fence, formed of closely-spaced vertical sticks which were nailed or tied to the horizontally laid "longers"; this type usually enclosed the kitchen garden. W. J.
