Hello!
Judging by the drawing I showed you, is it worth it to install chain-link fencing, even if it is very cheap? Or is it just unnecessary?
Thank you everyone!
As some of you might have seen from my previous posts, I am in the process of buying 5 acres of very flat agricultural land. It doesn't have any trees, just a bunch of weeds and an old cottage.
I'm a very conscious guy, and like to be safe in most cases. (This means teenagers wandering around the area and decide my land is a place to just walk straight in and do whatever they want, perhaps burglars, or everyone) The land isn't fenced in any way, and I'd like to fence it all off with chain-link fence panels (being the cheap option, and it doesn't look too bad either, in my opinion!).
After calculating a bit, I worked out I'd need about 70 panels, roughly 2800 euros in the panels alone, which for some reason, I find it to be very cheap!
Basically, I'd like to know if it's even something to worry about, or worth doing, so I quickly created a drawing of how I want the place to look like in who knows when! (Quick reminder, the land right now is surprisingly flat and it's the rectangular shape like in the image. Also, right now, it literally only has that old cottage, so the rest is will be made all by me) I know it looks terrible, but I'm not on my PC right now so I can't use the software that I normally use.
Yeah, the proportions might be a bit off, but this would be how I'd like to make use of 5 acres. Just to explain it now:

- The sort of box that the Chicken pen, Turkey pen, pigs and the goats are in is the fence design that I came up with, which is found in my previous post. The Chicken pen and Turkey pen would always be open and the chickens and turkeys have the option to sort of 'free-range' that big area, however I don't consider it free-ranging, I'd still feed regularly. The quail pen, however, will be completely enclosed with heavy duty wire mesh, so they have a little run/pen for their selves, which is why it's pretty large.
- The pigs and goats are of course separated from each other AND the poultry.
- I know things are labelled very badly, sorry xD
- The chain-link fence which I labelled is what I'm talking about in this topic. Would it be worth it or even something to worry about to fence this large of an area?
