    Welded Wire Fence- Pros and Cons?

    Hadn't thought of that. We definitely get lots of rain here, but usually only for an hour or two a day.

    Any Experience with Coated Welded Wire for Coops?

    Great point on using hardware cloth and edge boards for easy replacement of the mesh, GulfStar. And I'm well aware of the differences in grade and quality in coated welded wire. The bog box stores like Lowes and HD will not only sell non-galvanized mesh, they'll gauge it WITH the coating so...

    Any Experience with Coated Welded Wire for Coops?

    Hey folks, I'm new here and don't even have any chickens at the moment, although we kind of share my neighbors. We do have a great urban chicken community here in Pensacola, though, through which I became familiar with BYC.com. Anyway I've actually started blogging for an old friends fence...

    Thanks for the great resource. I don't even have my own chickens and right now the chickens that share our yard consist of three roosters. But we have a lot of friends here in Pensacola with BY Chickens, many of whom were involved in the recent city council ruling allowing backyard chickens. I...

    Welded Wire Fence- Pros and Cons?

    As far as welded wire goes for use in gardens and coops, it is much better than chicken wire, mainly because of strength. Welded wire is wire that is welded to create a sheet of material. Most welded wire is made of galvanized stainless steel, but over time the weld joints themselves will begin...
