Fencing in the woods

In a small community woodland in a deprived area of Glasgow, we put up this fence the other day.

All the hazel used for it was coppiced within 10m of the worksite; it gave the woodland edge (unfortunately a single-aged  broadleaf plantation with trees in racks) a bit more age variety.

Cost of materials = £0
Cost of labour = two employees, one day

Hopefully it not only marks out a dip in the ground, but makes the woods a wee bit more interesting to visit.
