skigardvise

A skigard is a traditional simple fence, made of wooden stakes and split logs. Making the most of available materials, small timber was split into multiple slats "skis" thereby the name skigard (literally means "ski fence")

Song lyrics:
Deep in the forest stands an old wooden fence, moss-covered and gray.
It’s falling apart, sinking into the ground,
but still, it stands as a memorial.
Once, it was an important barrier,
protecting the fields from wandering cattle.
But a wooden fence can’t last forever, you know. Can never last forever.

- Original lyrics by Stanley Jacobsen
