This is a structure to replace an ugly chicken wire fence, which was put up in a hurry as the deer liked our veg more than us. It's slightly shorter than we wanted, but the bottom rail is one tree, and they are tricky to transport. It's about 7m long. The top rail is 2 trees.
Most of the posts are ~2.2m/20cm tall pieces off a pair of adjacent oaks, dropped into a hole with some drainage and then the dug clay rammed back in. Very solid.
Whilst each post is very heavy, and the fence represents a few weeks of fuel for the fire, it was less effort to plant them, than to season, cut, split & stack.
