Hi all, I have a Brittany spaniel mix with a high prey drive and plan to install a chain link fence (only option currently).
Any critiques or additional input on things to help?
I'm limited to 5' tall fence.
Using 2 3/8" terminal posts, 1 7/8" line posts light industrial instead of residential.
Dug 36" and will use wet concrete to set (high early strength due to lower temps).
Top and bottom rails to reduce digging under and 1 5/8" sizing for more strength/durability, secured with line rail clamps, end rail clamps, and corner clamps instead of traditional rail ends.
DIY 1 5/8" rail gates 5'x5' Unsure whether to do 2 fork latches or 1 fork latch and 1 drop rod to make the lower part more secure or other options?
9 Gauge fence fabric (I see 2" most commonly, not sure if the smaller size would be better to reduce climbing, would love to know if anyone has experience with this).
fence ties 12" apart.
Steel connections instead of aluminum.
Any additional recommendations?
Should I dig a small trench and lay landscaping bricks etc under the fence line to reduce digging?
Ideas for good gate latches?
Experience with coyote rollers and privacy screens?
Thank you!
