Build 36 feet of split rail fence - PEM BB woodland.straw.splitrailfence

This is a badge bit (BB) that is part of the PEM curriculum.  Completing this BB is part of getting the straw badge in Woodland Care.

I hear fences make good neighbors.  No wonder my neighbors keep putting up more fences...  Let's get in on the action by building a split rail fence!

 
 

Here's Mr. Chickadee building a split rail fence:


Minimum requirements:
  - Make a split rail fence
  - At least 36' long (not counting zigs and zags)
  - Sturdy enough for uncle Frank to sit on (250 lbs)
  - Starting with the logs (you don't have to cut them down)
  - At least 80% of the pieces are split
  - Can be any historical split rail fence design, possibly like the pictures above
  - Rot resistant wood

Provide proof of the following as pictures or video (<2 min):
  - The logs you're starting with
  - Where the fence will go
  - Splitting a log
  - Fence midway through construction
  - Finished fence with measurement if length isn't obviously 36'
