I’d like to build one of these fences and was wondering if there is a step-by-step resource out there that I can use to learn?

  1. It’s called a ‘skigard’, look it up in norwegian and you’ll surely find something.

  3. Just be aware that those fences won’t last forever, or so I’m told

  6. This page has a rough guide: [https://gjoerdetselv.com/hage/gjerde/bygg-en-tradisjonell-skigard](https://gjoerdetselv.com/hage/gjerde/bygg-en-tradisjonell-skigard)
    You need to pay to access the full thing. But the basic idea is very simple. Poles in the ground, something to connect them and then the pieces of wood resting between.
    The hardest part might be to find places that have these types of woodcuts.

  7. If you learn to make it good. You can earn a lot of money. Those who set it up for people earn loads.

  9. What’s the material that binds the vertical posts?  

    The rest I can guess.  

  11. Thank you. I live in the United States so I’m wondering if there are any English instructions.

  12. I’m sure I have seen documentary footage of someone making these fences from like the 60s.

  13. 1. put sticks in the ground

    2. put sticks around the sticks

    3. put sticks through the sticks around the sticks

  14. I build these every summer. Did about 15 of them just this summer
