2. The story of the fence starts near the yard of Otto Venus the carpenter of Sarona. Initially the yard was vegetable garden. In ~1925 when tennis became popular, the Templers built on the yard tennis court and small club house in the corner. When Otto Venues built new modern house in 1929 over his workshop, the surface of the tennis court was concreted by Josef & Hugo Wennagel. Between the Tennis court and the yard a special decorative fence was built It was made of Wieland Cement bricks, metal poles, grid & decorative steel edges. Venus Workshop in 1910
