Pictures-Fencing

[KellyGa]

Well, as I said, the old house finally sold, so we finally got to get our fence. The fence is more to keep things OUT than to keep things in. Dogs run rampant out here, and all the chickens had to stay in lock down, which, made the eggs not taste near as good just being on feed. Since the fence has gone up, with them free ranging all day, eating grass and bugs has made the eggs so much better! The yolks are such a dark yellow orange and rich tasting! The pigs are happy they get to run around all day, and the dog is very happy that she gets her very own fenced in back yard to go potty inwithout us tagging along. Its just nice to feel like you can go out into your own back yard and not worry about dogs coming over and tearing up your livestock!

We priced many places. The most expensive was 13.79 a foot! The best price and the best man for the job in my opinion was John Barrow of Barrow Fencing for 8.50 a foot. Thats WITH the heavy duty wire attached to the back side of the fence with pressure treated wood, cement sunken posts, took them two weeks and it was worth every penny, they did a stand up job, have had many compliments on it from area farmers coming by to buy eggs...well, here it is...I have more pics, but these are the best ones. Excuse the high grass...ahem...I fell behind on chores, so whats new...lol!

Wow Kelly they did a great job. Sure is a lot of it. But at least its done now and u and your livestock can enjoy it and the space. Now u can move on to other stuff chipping away at one job at a time, you'll be done before ya know it. T

Bloody hell what are you planning on holding in. Surely those rails would hold any normal stock without theneed for the netting too.

ASnyway it all looks very impressive.

ROFLMAO! Well, I joked saying we were going to start our own Jurassic Park, cause this fence could hold em in, well, just about anyway...he he....we have to have the wire on the backside of the fence or its useless...so many people let their dogs run loose around here, and everybody knows, everything loves a free chicken meal...plus I get tired of the poop by the pool and ON THE DRIVEWAY!!! Anyway...thanks!

Well I just done some fences very similar, not as many or far, but to stop andthing getting through just put on electric wire between each rail.

But we use electric fences a lot down here and I am not sure if they are as popular up there.

I have hear of everything from snails to elephants being controled by electric fences.

real nice kelly, i bet that was a heck of alot of work..

i don't blame you i hate when the neighbor animals think your place is up for sale and come over and 'put down a deposit'

Hey jack, there is alot of electric fence used here as well. I like to make it 3 wires hot and 3 wires ground, alternateing of course. That way, there is no question that what ever hits it gets the idea not to cross it.

So, HOW big a garden are you plannin' for next Spring?
