How to Draw a Vinyl Fence
Vinyl fencing is a common alternative to wood fencing. Vinyl fencing is often cheaper, lighter weight and requires less maintenance than wooden fencing, which may need to be stained or painted regularly. In addition, vinyl fencing is less likely to warp than wooden fencing. When drawing a vinyl fence, the spokes should be evenly spaced and each spoke should be equal in width to the other spokes. There should be no variations in the form or appearance of the fence. Does this Spark an idea?

1
Draw a pair of horizontal lines, approximately half a centimeter apart and as long as you want the fence to appear. Draw a second pair of horizontal lines 5 cm below the first pair of horizontal lines. The second pair of horizontal lines should be equal in length to the first. These lines represent the horizontal rails of the vinyl fence.

At the far left end of the vinyl fence, draw a vertical rectangle, 9 cm tall and 1 cm wide, centered over the end of the horizontal rails you drew in Step 1. This is the end post of the vinyl fence. Draw a similar vertical rectangle at the right end of the fence as well. Draw a circle 1 cm in diameter at the top of each post.

Draw a series of vertical rectangles, 9 cm tall and 0.5 cm wide, spaced 1 cm apart, between the two posts. These are the spokes of the fence. Erase the lines of the rectangles in the areas where they intersect with the horizontal rails you drew in Step 1.

Tips & Warnings
To ensure the spokes are evenly spaced, use a ruler. Make tic marks on the horizontal rails in each position where a new spoke will be drawn.
To draw a fence that is not viewed from straight ahead, pick a vanishing point and draw using one- or two-point perspective. In one-point perspective, all objects disappear into a point in the distance as they recede from the foreground. In two-point perspective, objects disappear into one of two points in the distance as they recede into the foreground. Research this more by typing "drawing in perspective" into your Web browser.
