How To Build A Garden Fence - Video

June 13, 2011 | by Duncan Page

Keeping Critters Out
 
Watch this video and learn how to build a simple, functional, and attractive garden fence using wood and welded wire mesh. After the video, you'll see we have listed some other ideas for materials to use.
 

In this garden fence example, a 2" x 4" welded mesh was used. Other types of fencing materials would also work well:

  • Galvanized before weld or weave (GBW)
    • 1/2" x 1" mesh, 16 gauge
    • 1" x 1" mesh, 16 gauge or 14 gauge
    • 1" x 2" mesh, 14 gauge
    • 1" hex mesh, 20 gauge
  • Galvanized after weld or weave (GAW) - longer lasting
    • 1/2" x 1" mesh, 16 gauge
    • 1" x 1" mesh, 16 gauge or 14 gauge
    • 1" x 2" mesh, 14 gauge
    • 1" hex mesh, 18 gauge
  • Vinyl coated - longest lasting
    • 1/2" x 1" mesh, 16 gauge
    • 1" x 1" mesh, 16 gauge or 14 gauge
    • 1" x 2" mesh, 14 gauge
    • 1" hex mesh, 20 gauge
Which type of mesh would work best around your garden? Call Louis Page for advice regarding the particulars of your project.
