Fencing Materials for Children, Gardens, and Pets

May 18, 2011 | by Frank Langone

Keeping Tabs on Everybody

Have you made some alterations to your daily life that are going to require some physical changes to your property? 

  • Perhaps there are now some children to think about and some barriers will be needed to keep them safe.
  • Or it could be that beloved pet of yours may be better handled behind a fence?
  • A veggie garden also demands some protection as the value of your crop depends on certain invaders to be excluded.

For either sanity or safety's sake, it might be time to consider a simple fence to simplify your days...and nights. Read on for some ideas on making change.

Do you need to:

  • protect children as they play securely in your yard?
  • keep pets from running all over the neighborhood?
  • prevent "critters" from entering your garden to eat your plants?
  • define your property or boundary line?
  • keep deer and other wildlife away from your trees?
  • prevent gophers from destroying your lawn and plantings?                                                                                                                    
So Many Possibilities  
Are you looking for the right kind of fencing that will do the job?  Many varieties and styles of fence are available for your consideration and needs: galvanized, vinyl-coated, woven, welded. You might want to think about black or green vinyl-coated wire as an excellent barrier to go on your post and rail fence. If you wish the wire to blend in with the background and not stand out, black is the way to go.                                        
  • Welded wire fencing materials are available in a variety of mesh opening sizes such as 2" x 4", 2" x 3", 1½" x 4", 1" x 2" and 1" x 1". Wire gauges range from lightweight 20 gauge to heavyweight 10½ gauge.
  • Woven wire fence products come in a wide range of styles, from 1" hexagonal chicken wire up to 10' tall heavy deer fence with large openings.

When you call us, be thinking about these questions-- 

  • Do you need a large or a smaller mesh?
  • Are you trying to keep something in or out?
  • How many feet will you need to do the job right?
  • What height is required?
  • Is your land flat or does the terrain vary?
  • Do you want to install the fencing materials yourself?
  • Would it be better to have it installed by a reputable fence company?

Many possibilities are out there. The choices are yours. What has been most difficult for you when trying to decide which type of fencing material to use? We can help narrow things down.

Are you aware of all the possibilities that are available that you will never find at your local retail store? We will be happy to have a discussion with you about the differences between the various products that may be most suitable for your project.
