Mary, I went to a farm supply store and bought livestock panel fencing. It is something like 4 gauge welded wire (very tough, and galvanized too). Its sold in 16'x5' panels and the wire spacing is something like 6" squares ( not good for new puppies, but as we know, Pyrs arent small for long). The nice thing about this stuff is the bottom is a double wire-- two at the bottom two inces apart for dig strength. The panels are very stiff, in fact you can climb over them as a human and they dont bend. Dogs cant dig a little and then bend them out like chain link fencing. You can set them in dirt a little too. I used 8 foot 4x4's and set them two feet in ground and filled with #2 limestone, cut the panels with a circular saw with a graphite blade ( making them 8 feet) and set my posts 8 feet apart, and used heavy fence staples to hammer them in. Great thing is the posts dont need to be perfect. Alternate the panels putting them up ( nail one inside, the next one outside, and so on...). If you have sloped hills, you can trench out one side a little. Works great for me and I have a Pyr that wont jump a two foot puddle, but likes to dig. The fence has frustrated him and he doesnt dig any more! Jason Repko --- On Tue 03/30, Mary Delmage < Mary@ericnagler.com > wrote: From: Mary Delmage [mailto: Mary@ericnagler.com] |
