Title: woods pen
Post by: Peachcreek on February 25, 2011, 08:00:38 pm
I am going to build a pen in the woods behind my house my question is what wire would you guys think would work the best for the money. I am planning on fencing 2-3 acres for messing around with the pot lickers. I was kind of planning on useing a trencher along the fence line to set the fence at least 6" into the dirt and probably just use t posts exept for at the corners.. any advise?

i know of a couple pens around here and them guys use that net wire its not real high i think about 330 ft for about 100$ and they put a hot wire all the way around it about 1 foot off the ground, just dont forget to turn the hot wire off before you put a dog in there :laugh:

just lay 6" of the fence on the ground instead of in the ground

I seen with a couple wires were woven through the bottom and tightened to add extra strength

i am going to see what i can find that is 6 foot high.. my dogs can jump the bay pen i have like it is nothing. rolleyes the hot wire thing might work pretty good if i can keep the row clean enough
