Torrin Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 We have a fair sized back garden and then an extra section down the side of the house. This is the part that has my veggie patch as well as some questionable fencing and a gate, so I want to keep the girls out but I'm not sure how to do it. I have looked at lots of the pictures of omlet and omlet look alike fencing, but my problem is that i need constant access thru the fence, as well as the fact that I need to fence over a bit that is paved, so couldn't push poles into the ground. In an ideal world I need a nice picket fence with a gate in, but having just bought a I can't afford it at the mo Any suggestions for alternatives?

Pedro1962 Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 I'm having about 5m of picket fencing with concrete posts and gravel boards and an access gate put in to divide my garden. Not too expensive either - £150 all in for cash! Might be worth making enquiries... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patricia W Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 I think some people have created entrances through the netting. Maybe someone else will remember? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonnysthedude Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 Hi, i had a similar problem, i cut up a few sections of omlet netting a made a portable gate, that one end was permanently stuck in the ground, then i put a pole with a string loop at the top, which could be easily removed when i need acsess. Another less glamourous method is when you put neeting in let one section of it sag a bit, i do a impression of a athlete and find i can put one leg over at a time without falling a**e over t*t. Good luck. Jonny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 Could you post a photo so we can get an idea of your setup? I have a "door" in my Omlet netting which is on a path - the pole hooks into a small cup hook screwed into my walkin run at the bottom and a large cup hook at the top.

Torrin Posted June 12, 2009 Author Share Posted June 12, 2009 Thanks for the suggestions. I'm now thinking of a whole garden reshuffle and putting a fence across the side garden. It's a nice straight line, wall to fence, no paving to cope with. Just means my veggie patch will prob get trashed this year ( as it will be the chicken side of the fence ) and I'll have to start again next year. Am new to growing veggies too so have made loads of mistakes in my first try. Moving it and starting again might not be such a bad thing!!

Ain't Nobody Here Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 Have you spotted The Self-Sufficient Life yet? I'm new to veg growing too and am finding it really useful (and you can ask the daftest question and gets lots of helpful advice ). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torrin Posted June 12, 2009 Author Share Posted June 12, 2009 Yes thanks, have recently spotted that section. Means I am now spending twice as much time sitting here reading about chickens and now veg as well when I should be doing other things!!
