Animal Fencing questions, answered by experts

Barbed wire fences provide cost-effective security, livestock containment, and property protection.

The maximum recommended slope on which you can build a racked or stepped fence is 45 degrees. After that, construction becomes quite tricky and may require the use of retaining walls or terraces to make the fenced area flatter.

The best time to install a fence is in the fall and winter—the slow season for fencing companies. You’ll find a more open schedule with companies and possibly a lower cost due to lower demand. Additionally, the plants in your yard will most likely be dormant, so trees and other plans are less likely to incur damage or get in the way during the installation.

In terms of materials, chicken wire mesh will be the most inexpensive option to use when building your fence. The downside is that it’s not the most attractive garden fence option. In a similar vein, you could choose a DIY fence made out of repurposed items, like car tires, or wooden pallets, either of which would be free to collect. 

When considering how much of a gap should be under a fence or gate, a good rule of thumb is to keep gaps between 2 and 5 inches tall. This allows for some ground clearance for the gate but still provides safety for children and pets, who shouldn’t be able to squeeze through a gap of that size.
