Slab wood fence - PEM BB woodland.straw.slabwoodfence

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.

Now that you're starting to turn trees into building materials, let's pay attention to the waste stream of sawmills.  One source is slabs of wood with bark on one side and random tapering widths and thicknesses.  One great use is as economical fence materials.  Let's make some slab wood fencing!

 
 

Here's one way to do it, this guy didn't have to cut the edges to get a solid fence:


Minimum requirements:
  - Make 36 feet of fencing
  - At least 5' high
  - Tight enough a softball can't pass through (3.8" diameter)
  - No dimensional lumber for the fence, only slabs
  - Posts (if used) don't need to be slab wood
  - Posts (if used) can't be pressure treated

Provide proof of the following as pictures or video (<2 min):
  - The slabs you're starting with
  - Fence posts/supports going up
  - Slabs getting installed
  - Finished fence with measurement showing length and height
