I've used the green plastic fencing successfully with one dog but shes a too smart border collie. Very trainable and chicken safe.

This is fine. If it's put up properly. It seems rather expensive for Stock Net which is what it is basically.Wow, I didn’t think chicken wire would be strong enough to keep my boys out! Has you dog tried to bust through it? My guys are very people sweet and do a good job keeping squirrels and bunnies away, I just don’t want them to think my chickens are prey, which I’m sure they will.
Here is the fencing I was looking at. Opinions?

But the woven wire is $150 cheaper.
This plus rabbit fencing at the bottom may do the trick. Unless rabbits are not a concern in your area. In which case I envy you!This is fine. If it's put up properly. It seems rather expensive for Stock Net which is what it is basically.
The thing about Stock Net is it is meant to be hung. It is not a rest on the floor and staple to posts type of fence if you want t to be properly effective.
Here is a picture of a hung Stock Net fence with braced straining posts.
Put up properly it will stop a charging Ram.

You need to hang the fence on Line Wires. It's the Line Wires that provide the strength to the fence. You should have 3 line wires, top mid and bottom. The fence is then attatched to the Line Wires with Tie Wire every six to eight inches on all three Line Wires.

My old man needs to step it up. I keep telling him he's a horrible roommate. Has never washed a single dish in 12 years!My dogs keep the rabbits out of the yard! & the deer.
Would I be able to do an apron with this? Would it even be necessary? Is this much different than welded wire? Thanks, Shad this is most helpful.Here is a better picture showing the three line wires and how the fence is tied to the line wires.

Yes you can fix an apron to this and dig it in if you wish. It depends on what you are trying to keep out. Chicken wire dug in and fixed a couple of feet high on the stock net will discourage most small predators. Hardware cloth would last longer and provide better security assuming half inch squares.Would I be able to do an apron with this? Would it even be necessary? Is this much different than welded wire?
