I'm looking for Australian spotted ducklings, am up in MA but travel to your area frequently. Thanks!

Do you have a pickup truck (even one that you could borrow)? I used my truck as an anchor to stretch HT woven fencing. Alternatively, I saw an install video on Youtube where they built an extra, temporary H brace for that purpose (seems like an awful lot of work though). If you have a lot of...

I'm surprised the welds haven't broken down. Stuff from 20 years ago also is probably better quality than what's on market now. My livestock would trash welded wire, especially the damn goats.

Oh, and how the t posts will be an easier install than the PT posts, which you'll need to auger and backfill if you don't have access to rent a post pounder.

I think the HD posts are smaller in diameter and length than what you'd need for the high tensile woven wire, although you might be able to use them or t posts with a plain woven wire, every 10 feet, that spacing will also help with the dips. I'd buy these...

Welded wire will break down pretty quickly, you'd be better off with woven wire. High tensile allows you to place posts 20 feet apart (although you need a 5 inch diameter post to deal with the strain). Plain woven wire, you have to space the posts every 10 feet and you can definitely use t...

Hmm, well you could install high tensile woven wire fencing cheaper than chain link in the areas where you don't need the privacy panels. I'd put the fencing inside of where you think your property line is (assuming you don't want to pay to have it surveyed), then you can legally have access to...

There's a company in Northbridge MA that manufactures wire mesh products (coated and galvanized). You can pick up directly to save shipping costs, and they sell their seconds on eBay (if you purchase from eBay make sure you note that you'll be picking up). Products are great, prices are...

I have a 3 month old Gold Laced Wyandotte roo from Ideal Hatchery that I'd like to rehome. Located in Billerica MA.

FYI, for the folks up here in New England, Riverdale Mills in Northbridge MA manufacturers all sorts of wire mesh products, coated or galvanized. They sell seconds on Ebay, you can also order any of their products and pick it up yourself to save on shipping. I bought a 100 foot roll of 24 inch...
