Hi All,
not sure if this should go in this section or the coop design section but oh well! We have recently moved to a new place with a lot more space and plan to fence of around 1/2 an acre for our poultry. We are backing onto woodland so expect to get foxes, badgers etc so want them to be protected during the day.
I was wondering if deer fencing would provide enough protection? I was looking at this fencing :
https://www.ultimate-one.co.uk/deer-fence-stock-fencing-mesh-l2320015-2m-50m-p-1119
Which has narrower spacing at the bottom of the fencing getting bigger:
10no. (50mm x 150mm) apertures at the base
10no. (100m x 150mm) apertures in the middle
3no. (150mm x 150mm) apertures at the top
I assume this would work as it is too small for a fox to get through at the bottom, tall enough to prevent them going over and they would not be able to climb through the larger openings at the top?
We are in the UK
Thoughts?
