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.

It is called "rabbit guard" fencing here, but I have been unable to find
it taller then 4' at the stores, so you may need something else above it
to stop the deer.
