A 3 foot fence fastened at the bottom to a long log will keep out more animals, but I'd go with an electric fence (in addition to the 2' chicken wire). |

Not adult rabbits, unless you use 18" under and at least 2' above ground. Not baby rabbits, nor any small mammal whose head is smaller than the mesh of the wire. Not birds, of course. What are you trying to fence out? |

I put in 2' chicken wire and replanted, and I didn't have any more trouble. I imagine its effectiveness is related to how bad the critters want in. Most could get past it if they really wanted to. --Thundermaker$yahoo.com (Spud Demon) The above may not (yet) represent the opinions of my employer. |
