Chicken wire/wire fence
« on: June 12, 2007, 22:31 »
I'm not sure if this should go in the equipment forum or not. Where do people get their chicken wire from? I can only seem to find it in 3ft high - which seems pointless as the chickens would presumable jump over it??? Or do I rig up something with two bits stuck together? (Sorry I'm not very diy minded). Either wire netting or wire fencing - I am building a fence round my garden part of which could be of the wire kind and I could also do with some netting to protect areas of garden.

I would suggest that you try an agricultural merchant - they should be able to get higher netting for you.  Hubby is an ag.merchant and located 6ft high for our run.  It is definitely manufactured, he has mentioned that you may have to ask for it to be ordered and shop around for the best prices as due to metal prices fluctating these days prices are varying considerably.   :(

Good Luck :)

The best plastic netting I've had was from Lidl.  It's stiffer than the garden centre stuff I got,so doesn't get so tangeld up, and very cheap.  The only problem is that it's only there when they do a gardening week.

I used weld mesh or is it mesh weld, but it was expensive, but i should think it will last forever. Just 'google' mesh weld and loads of stockists come up.
