The name may be a bit misleading though, as there are many great uses that for this chicken fence wire whether you live on a farm, own a home, or just love to make up new crafts. You may need some basic tools to work with chicken wire, but you can do a lot more with it than you think. You will find that though this is not dirt cheap, it certainly isn't expensive either. Think about your project and then buy what you need.

Chicken fence wire can be used when you have a garden. Some people have no problems, but some people have wild animals that love a free snack. If you find that things are getting eaten before they get ripe enough to pick, you could have some critter issues. Chicken wire can be stapled to posts so that it goes all the way around your garden. Make sure it is taunt or animals like deer will easily get over it. In fact, if you have deer in your garden at night, you may have to make your wire pretty high to keep them out. They can jump up to six feet high.

You can also use chicken fence wire around areas of your property if you are having problems with animals getting in. If you have a shed or a barn that you don't use much, or that may have a missing window, this can be a temporary way to keep things out, giving you time to get it fixed later. It will not keep the weather out, but it can stop animals from going in, and can even be used if something is burrowing under your buildings.

This is also a neat way to display your other items if you sell what you make at a craft fair.

where can i get a pet fence?

i have a pomeranian and she tends to be very active and loves to run free down the street whenever we let her loose. where and what can i buy that can keep her inside the front yard? im thinking something along the lines of mesh or chicken wire, just less expensive.

Go to Wal-Mart, and get a dog chain that stakes into the ground. They cam come in various lengths. I had one that was twenty feet when I had my Border Collie Lab mix, and she was very active, but more than content in her twenty foot radius of the stake.
