A long cleft post-and-rail run separating a paddock from the rape field next door. Hand-cleft rails, round-section posts, sat low into the slope. Looks like it grew there.
A long boundary between a paddock and the field next door, mid-spring with the rape in full yellow. The brief was for something that looked like it had always been there. Cleft rails, round-section posts, no machined uniformity.
We set the line to follow the contour rather than fight it. Posts driven in, not concreted, so the fence sits soft but sturdy on the ground. Two-rail, with each rail showing its own taper from the cleft.
Done in the dry, no ruts in the paddock side, no rails dropped into the rape.
