Probably safety fencing for a welding shop or machine shop... designed to keep flying opjects from hitting people. I would go for it in a heartbeat. Make sure the wires are attached firmly. They may be woven but not welded but usually the gauge on that stuff is so hefty it wont matter. Thats why it needs to be secured.

Its also probably powder coated so your good for rust and stuff. If you want to paint to change the color you will need to rough it up or wash it down with something that will take the gloss off before priming.

Good Good find I would buy it all and figure out what to do with it later. There is so much more you can do with extra pieces.

Heck the seller stated it would work good as a tool crib to lock up tools. If its strong enough to keep some crackhead from jacking tools off a job site, it would keep a Grizzly bear out of your run.

I'd go for it! That looks like a good deal!

Looks like you can take the "legs" off so it would sit flush with the ground. You had best grab it up!

Not if I get it first, thanks for the tip Mua ha ha ha ha ha ha Even though I am as close to Minnie as you probably are, I won't swipe it.
It looks like it would work great IF you don't have breeds that can fly higher than this stuff. Personally, I have about 12 hens who could clear it without batting an eye. It would probably work great for penning starter birds or heavy breeds.
It is cheap, and whatever works, right? Good luck.

It's going to be for a run just for Silkies. Minniechickenmama, there will probably be some left after I'm done with it.

I'm not gonna buy all of it.
