Chicken Wire Fencing

You’ve spent a hard weekend sweating and toiling, all to plant what you hope will be the biggest juiciest vegetables in the neighbor hood.  Nothing can ruin those dreams like a few raccoons or rabbits.  That is why if you are serious about gardening and want to actually reap the rewards of your hard work, you should seriously consider chicken wire fencing to protect your investment.  Chicken wire fencing is cheap, effective and very versatile.  Available in rolls, chicken wire is very easy to attach to any kind of poles that have been dug firmly into the ground.  To really increase the security you can get from chicken wire fencing, many people have added a layer of electric fencing along the top of the fence to make sure that those pests stay away.

Since you can actually cut chicken wire fencing, you can also locate spots where wild rabbits get into your yard and seal up those areas.  Look under bushes or areas with a lot of ground cover to spot their tunnels. 

Then secure chicken wire fencing to stakes to cover the opening to an area and you will be able to keep those rabbits out.  Another option for burrowing animals is to take chicken wire fencing and prior to actually planting your garden digging down several inches and apply a layer of chicken wire fencing to make sure that moles don’t dig up into your garden. 

Chicken wire fencing is a do-it-yourself project that doesn’t really require too much work or equipment.  Just a few rolls of chicken wire fencing, staples or and a way to tie the fencing to some stakes. 

Purchase an electric fencing charger and you can turn your regular chicken wire fencing into electric chicken wire fencing.  With just a few easy steps you can really insure that pests stay away from your garden.
