Junkpole Fences at Basecamp

Here's a reference document for those of you wanting to build junkpole fences at Basecamp. This is most helpful for Boots, obviously.

This is a slightly-different method of assembling fence sections than we've had in the past. This is primarily due to the fact that we want to keep chickens inside, and remove all the little nooks n' crannies where they could wander their way out. It'll also ensure that coyotes, should they ever come close enough to Basecamp, won't be able to wheedle their way inside to attack said chickens.

Both an image and a PDF are attached. Please post any questions about these instructions in this thread.

It might be nice to point out which are the arms and legs. I assumed the opposite of how I think you mean.  If I'm now correct, I think the post is the spine, the legs go up in the air and the arms reach down to the ground?

That's right. I didn't want to start off the description with, "Now, imagine someone is standing on their head, their ass pointed skyward..."

So yes: hands down on the ground, feet up in the air. To extend the description a bit more: the shelf pieces are attached to where the shins would be.

This document isn't meant to be the main descriptor tool (though I think it does all right at that). It's a supplement for "classroom discussion." And I wasn't able to fit much on a single page, including the diagrams. So there are minor details left out that are clarified in-person and once someone sees an example rock jack on-site.
