Wire Fence With Wooden Posts

Rustic fences for small tree clumps may be of almost any design, but the following is cheap and easily erected. It is formed of larch posts 6 ft. long, and about 4½ in. diameter, driven into the ground at 6 ft. apart. Two flat or rounded rails about 3 in. by 1¼ in. are nailed horizontally to these, the lower at 9 in. from the ground and the other flush with the tops of the posts, which when driven in are 4 ft. from ground level. The uprights are also of larch, split up the centre and nailed on the horizontal bars at 2 in. apart. They extend above the top rail for 7 in., and are sharply pointed so that they cannot be climbed over.
