POULTRY FENCE QUESTION

[goodrich]

I am going to be placing an order for PoultryNet fencing and am looking for advice on the best height of either 42" or 48"? I plan on rotating the fencing every couple of weeks and thought the 42" would be a bit easier to handle, but I wanted to get some feedback from some folks who have used this type of fencing to get there opinions. Thanks for any suggestions.

I have the 48". Height is not going to make any difference whatsoever in how easy to set up or move; it will probably make a *little* difference in how much it sags (esp with wind) but since you will want to stake the corners back *anyhow* I'm not sure that'll matter. If you are tall you might be able to step over the 42" but not the 48"; me, though, I have to undo the tie and walk between the end posts to get in (with charger off) and would still have to even if my fence were 6" lower

Good luck, have fun,

Pat

I chose the 42" and I like it because I can step over it (barely) when I have to.
