If ya did what kind and How long did it last?
I have an 8’ deer fence around my orchard and garden. I also buried some wire fencing about 1’ deep around the bottom of the fence to exclude rabbits. This has been in place for about 8 years and the buried fence is still sound but surface rusted. But I’m also in a drier climate, not the rust belt. If you do this, don’t bury your main fence in the ground; keep that above ground. Use a little short 2-3’ wide piece to bury. That way when it rusts out, you can remove it and the main fence is still sound.If ya did what kind and How long did it last?

The idea is mister groundhog will come up to the fence and instinctively start digging and then in 6 or so inches he'll hit steel and be frustrated no matter where he tries this and he won't think to step back away from the fence a few feet and trying again. A
If I lay galv' hardware cloth the holes should be small enough to also exclude the littler critters too
