Creating a gooseberry hedge?

[KarlB924]

I'm hoping to start a gooseberry hedge in my front garden. I got about a dozen good-sized gooseberry cuttings back in November, which have all taken nicely in pots, and I've supplemented those with several bare-roots I bought last month and potted.

My questions are as thus: How would I best train them into a good hedge? The gooseberry bushes I've seen all lay quite low, is it possible to train them a bit more vertically whilst still keeping them open enough to avoid sawfly? And how far apart should I plant them to get a good full hedge?

It won't be the tallest hedge, but it might deter people from walking across the garden and parking their cars straight in front of my front window

Cordons can be trained on canes and can get pretty tall. I've got a gooseberry hedge, I spaced them out about 4foot apart, they grow quite wide so people wouldn't be able to hop over them.

Not sure if you will be able to understand pics, uploaded from my phone through the app and it seems to be pretty useless at the mo! Always blurred ....
Ive always had a huge crop, I've only had saw fly once..
