Welded wire garden fence?
Considering installing green 2"x3" - 48" high welded wire garden fence. Envision using 4x4 posts (in concrete) on corners and at gate, with t-posts for support between that. It is not a large fence with only 140 linear feet. My concern is - do I need any special support on end or corner posts? I don't believe welded wire is stretched like chain link so is there a tension concern? Any site with directions on such an install?
Thanks.
Answer:
Even though you don't need to tension the fence like a link-fence, it still needs to be taught. If it's a straight line fence, you should brace the two ends with a support even though your putting the posts in concrete. If you have 4 corners, you should angle-brace both sides of each corner. Even though it's a small fence, if you don't build it solid, it won't perform like you want it to. I'm doing one myself around my garden. I'm doing exactly the same thing as I did on my lot fence. Large corners, angle braces, walk-in gate, then pull fence taught and secure with staples and wire. Which reminds me...I have to get out there and work on mine! Have fun!
