Nov 27 toiletfence

By Chris Jones, TG Deputy Editor

A plumber has made a fence for his back garden out of old toilets – to keep golfers out!

Rick Froebe has even sat weird effigies on the loos, which are right next to the course in Soap Lake, Washington.

Froebe says that he erected it to deter golfers from approaching his property, because they make his dog bark.

That in turn led to his neighbours complaining, and the local sheriff’s department to repeatedly fine him for his noisy dogs.

The fence, which also includes old bathtubs and disused water tanks, borders the first hole at the Lekview Golf & Country club, a 354-yard par-4.

Froebe insists there’s nothing wrong with his toilet fence. “It’s not like this is Pebble Beach. This is Lakeview,” he said.
