A wire mesh fence is a rural fence that safely defines your pasture or forest. The fence blends nicely in its environment, because you can choose the type of wood and the shape of the posts yourself. This way, you can design the fence exactly to your preferences.
The ideal height for each animal
The height of a fence depends on its purpose. Do you want to close off a forest domain or deer pasture? Then we recommend a height of 1.9 metres. For other animals, such as chickens or sheep, a lower fence will suffice.
Also suitable for horse pastures
Do you keep sheep and horses on the same pasture. That is a smart choice: while your horses will only eat the best grass, the sheep keep the rest of your pasture clean. In that case, we advise you to combine a wooden fence with a wire mesh fence up to the first crossbar.
Please make sure that the meshes in the wire are sufficiently narrow in that case, so there is only a small distance between the wires so a horse's hooves cannot go through. This way, your horse cannot get stuck and injure itself.
A myriad of options
Your situation may require a different fence. Therefore, get advice from a specialist, who will help you reach the best possible solution.
If you select good quality wire mesh, you can tense the wire tightly so that the fence gets a neat appearance. It prevents the wire mesh from sagging after a couple of years. To enjoy your fence for many years, it is also important to choose a fence that has been treated against corrosion.
Wire mesh is a safe and sustainable fence to keep chickens, geese, deer, sheep and llamas inside the area, and wild boar or other game out.
