Ski guard
The ski guard is a 1.1 m high wooden fence , mostly made of spruce wood , which is particularly common in Finland and Scandinavia .
Stakes are driven into the ground in pairs on each side of the fence, 0.6 to 1.9 m apart. The distance between them can be 5 to 8 cm. They are usually upright or tilted so that they are at right angles to the bars (or boards) lying at an angle (15 ° to 20 °) between them. The poles are 2.0 to 3.0 meters long and 5 to 7 cm thick and are pointed at the bottom. Lifespan can be increased by burning the pointed end so that the surface charred, which counteracts rot. To get the most out of the material, thinner logs were divided into two or more billets. As a rule, the poles bridge three or four pairs of stakes, depending on the distance. Spacers are usually attached to the posts to keep the bars evenly spaced.
