Tips on divider fence?

[lizzychapman87]

I'd so appreciate any tips on this

I need to create a fence within my large chicken yard. This area does not need to be "predator proof" as it is only separating my ducks from chickens. Long story there!

I want the fence posts and material to be black to blend in with all of my other fencing. The easiest option I can think of is finding black metal U posts and PVC coated fencing like the pictures below. Not sure how I would make a gate for easy access multiple times per day?? Is there a better option I'm not thinking of? I like the U posts because it's not permanent yet there is no sagging with this heavy duty fence wire

how about something like this? it includes a gate latch, so any of the panels can be used as a gate. I have something very similar to keep my chickens off the patio. It was easy to put up, is black, is fairly portable depending on how rocky your soil is, and the gate latch really works and is easy to use.

I have this stuff to keep my dogs from visiting the neighbors (and yet let maintenance workers have full access all the way around the back of the house) and it's pretty easy to install and use.

It is a pain to install/use the gate if the ground is uneven or rocky though.

@springvalley123 this may be great! I am wondering if I could do all of the fence with the U posts and wire and then buy just one of the ones you posted to hang as a gate.

I'll be adding about 60 feet of fencing, so buying panels for all isn't an option cost wise

you'd have to look at it at the store and see if it could work. they are designed to work as a gate, when you buy their special posts and latch...

Will keep the ducks 'in their place', but will the chickens stay in theirs?
