I was calling around today and looking at options for my run (8ftx16x6 tall) Someone suggested non-climb horse fence. They told me that it would far outlast welded wire as most is welded after being galvanized.
I then tonight found out that you need to stretch the woven wire fencing... not sure I have the right tools to do this...
Has anyone used this type of fencing? how did you install it if you used it and are you happy with it now?
will squirrels really be a problem?

These are the options I was looking at ... some I would need to install I think an added layer of 1/2 inch hardware cloth...
