Although it doesn’t mean the yard itself would be
100% safe. Possums or other varmints climb;
snakes can pass through; hawks can come down from above..
You'll still need to let your hens go into the coop at night.
Actually, we found that
these wood posts and the 2x4 welded wire form a real handy trellis for beans, cucumbers and peas.
How it works?
1. We don't tightly attach the wire to the posts - just a swiveling block works perfectly. This makes the whole thing easily movable.
2. Three 12" stakes hammered into the ground secure the base. Stakes are included. The posts are 48" in length, of pine, carefully stained and rot resistant. Shipped unassembled - all parts are included for easy reassembly.
** We don't use "treated" wood. Safe for chickens
and organic gardening..
3. Some predators can dig under any fence,
especially if there is a gap underneath,
to encourage them to start digging. That's why we don't recommend this type of fencing for bare ground or a rocky, uneven surface. We've found that welded wire can be pushed deep into the grass, so there won't be a gap.
We only charge $55 to ship the fence posts (due to the costs) and would have to charge even more in order to ship the welded wire along with it (on the order of $150 dollars), but we discovered that Tractor Supply sells wire for $58.99 -100ft.-.
7 portable wood posts $195
- with bases & hard ware
Designed for 625sq ft. ( 25x25ft.) yard.
You can curve the wire fence in any
shape you like, When it curved, it'd be
smaller than 625sq ft.
