Off Topic, need advice for dog fence

9 years ago

It needs to be installed on an area that isn't level and is rocky so needs to be pretty flexible, needs to be easy to install and take down as we will remove it when we move (renting). Should I use the green coated wire, galvanized wire, t posts or u posts? It's to keep my dog in our yard and our neighbors dogs out. Also I don't want to spend alot of $$$. What to buy and where to buy? Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Well, you have aesthetics and lasting value to consider as well. I don't know how important either of those are to you. I don't know what size dogs (fencing huskies is different than fencing chihuahuas).
I don't know if chicken wire suits your needs (it's cheapest), but it looks mostly awful and easy to break out for little dogs.

Premade metal fencing segments were my choice...such as you'd see at a farm supply.
