fence recommendation

Hotwired · March 3, 2013

My neighbor uses the plastic chicken wire, and it is worthless for rabbits. I had big problems with rabbits and deer. I put up the 2" x 4" wire fencing 4' high around my whole garden. The rabbits went under it. I used tent stakes exactly like Tightenup's and they dug little tunnels under the fence. I laid pavers around the perimeter (240' of them), and they squeezed through the 2" x 4" openings. I picked up some fiberglass screen material and attached a 12" high strip to the bottom of my fence. Somehow they found their way in. I built a "cat shelter" in my garden and they hang out there most of the time - problem solved.
