I live in rural Utah. Extreme SW. We have all manner of critters around
here, mainly, but not limited to rabbits, some deer, skunks, gophers,
chipmunks, marmots, and a few others.

We are putting in the garden and I'm wondering about border wire. I have
heard of "hog" wire, "chicken" wire, "horse" wire, and all sorts of wire.
I
"think" I want some that starts off with smaller squares toward the
bottom,
then larger as it goes up so as to keep out the small critters at the
bottom, and the bigger ones higher up.

Is that what I need? What's the name. Garden wire? I'm sure they would
steer me right at the feed store or Ace, or HD, but I thought I'd ask some
seasoned gardeners here.

Thanks.

Steve

It will cost you more up front but you'll be glad ever after. Get the
smallest squares you can all the way up. What I'm thinking of comes in 50 or
100 foot rolls. Hang it on metal T posts about every 8 feet. You can move it
later, expand it easily, take it down and store it and nothing will get in.
