Chicken shack Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 I bought a WIR which has metal poles with chicken wire over. I know that Mr Fow can chew through chicken wire as I was able to cut it with scissors. My solution is to cover it with weld mesh. Can anyong tell me what gage to buy? I have looked on ebay and there are so many I am confused Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plum Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Well I went for 16g because I've heard it's fox proof but a lot use 19g and I've not heard anyone say one has bitten through it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Good quality 19g is fine, I get mine from Hills of Devon I'd have thought that if you cover the bottom 4ft or so that should be sufficient but then dont take my word for that!

loumabel Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 I use 16 gauge and not had any problems the 19 gauge looks flimsy to me but I am a fusspot!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
