[quote=walterwhite]the purpose of most of the fence is to keep in intimidating dogs and wandering goats.
also to make theft/burglary a little more difficult.
a smaller portion of the fence would be that plus decorative. there’s 2plus acres, but could be done in portions. Also, the fence wouldn’t need to go around all that.
also, there is much fence in place already, although it’s unclear for how long.
I’ve been looking at a lot of fencing nowadays as i ride my bike or drive around and it seems like just a piece of treated wood or metal post holding up some wire mesh is a common and not bad solution, where aesthetics don’t count.
Bearishgurl, appreciate the thought that went into the vehicle solution. However, i think I’m going to try one of those trailers attached to my minivan for a little while and see how that goes. In a county this big, there has to be lots of rusty old fence material somewhere lying around for cheap. a boy can dream, can’t he?[/quote]
Sounds about like what people do in my area. A decorative main entry and a few rustic entries on side roads if any, and woven wire fences and t-posts for the rest. A few big spenders do white vinyl 3 rail fences with chainlink stretched over it on the inside.The vinyl does frame a property in a much more visually pleasing way.
I did the wire with horse fence, http://www.afence.com/store/product.php?productid=52960&cat=441&page=1 . It has railroad ties in all the corners and every 50′ of run with chain link gates in four places. Maybe some day I’ll get around to a prettier entry to mark our territory, but it isn’t a very high priority. If you want to keep rabbits out, put up chicken wire before the fencing and bend it about 6 inches out at the bottom on the outside of the fence.Bury it a little so you can still run the weed eater over the ground there if you want to. Anyway, if you want more tips on this type fence let me know.
