Hi All,
I searched on "Fence" and while I there were a lot of results I didn't see anything that looked like what I was wanting to learn about.
We're planting a garden this weekend. We have coyotes, coon, rabbits, deer, etc that I'm sure will all be wanting to chow down on the garden. So....that means I need a fence.
I know how to keep the deer out (fish line).
What I'm wondering about is what type of electric fence I should install to keep the smaller animals - like rabbits, out? I talked to a farmer friend and he said to install bare wire electric fence with one wire about 6 inches off the ground and then 2 more wires higher up. What I'm wondering, is that a better choice than some kind of wire mesh fencing? Do you use the single strands or the mesh?
