Does anyone have experience with burying hardware cloth, and how long it
takes before it starts rusting away?



When I lived in South Florida we buried galvanized hardware cloth all along
the bottom of our new privacy fencing when we had it replaced in 1996. We
cut strips, stapled it to the fencing, and buried about 10 inches of it to
keep the Bufo toads from getting in. It was a tedious and time consuming
process, but we only had to do it once and as the toads were poisonous to
our dogs it was very much worth the trouble.

Mind you this was a hot and humid climate, but when we moved in 2007 the
cloth was as good as new and showed no signs of deteriorating at all in the
eleven years.

Good luck.
