The horizontal hazel rods,hand riven,are called liggers.
Ligger is also the name for a plank bridge across a marsh,and a set line for catching pike.
Anyone know of any other regional uses of this word?

Porch coated, ridge nearly done ready for wiring & dressing up, ending with the eaves being cut sharp. Afraid can't find a #thatch emoji for #WorldEmojiDay
