In preparation for my chickens I spent a couple of hours on Friday evening and Saturday morning building a new fence for my garden. I bought a couple of rolls of weldmesh and some staples for under £50 and managed to fence off the whole of the garden. Now I should be able to let the chickens out when they come without too much fear of them disappearing into the neighbours garden!
I have added a picture but try not to look too closely – it’s not the prettiest fence in the world! Still it is the first time I have built anything like this so I am happy with it. Also, I have never worked with weldmesh before so this is good practice for future extensions to my chicken run. One thing I have learnt – weldmesh is bloodthirsty! I came out of this bleeding from several places on my hands!
