Anyone use this fence

@misfitmorgan The field fencing might allow my LGDs some entertainment...nothing gets through the no climb. But it is expensive.

I know i priced it out and it would be approx $4,500 more just in wire to do the perimeter fence alone in no-climb, not to mention all the different pastures inside of that. So it was a no-brainer to go with the woven wire for our needs. If i had something more like 4-5 acres of fence lines i definitely would choose the no-climb.

I have 5 acres and about 4 of it is fenced for the goats. The perimeter is all no climb, the internal is stock panel and no climb. If we get the land next to us I will have another 4 acres to fence.

We have 8 acres, all in the 2x4 non climb. Yes it was expensive, but I already did one piece of property in crap wire and wasn't going to repeat the experience.

This is a great thread. I may be replacing at least part of my perimeter fence with something 'solid'. It's currently multiple strands of electric/poly rope. I was looking at the sheep/goat fencing with the 4" squares, but now may go with the no-climb horse fence.

I'll have braced wood end/corner posts, with the line posts being t-posts. It's a straight line, gently sloping. How far apart do you put t-posts? And can I do a whole run of a 330' roll with just a wood section at each end, or do you need another braced pair of wood posts every so often?

The 2x4 non climb wire comes in 100' and 200' rolls. We used the 200' rolls and put a brace at the end/start of each roll. We spaced the T-posts 10' apart. I absolutely adore my non climb fence!

As mentioned you plan to do what you can afford i can not afford to pay $12,000 on wire alone to fence my whole property so i shall be sticking with the crap wire i guess.

I totally get that. We sold our previous home plus land in another location that we owned, and paid for this place and improvements. Without that financial pot to draw from, things would have been a lot different.

Same here. I can't afford the "good stuff". Maybe someday. But for now if I need to I'll add hot wire to my crappy fencing! My does don't even wreck welded wire, but my wether destroys it (my buckling isn't into the ladies or fence bashing yet). But I know the welded wire won't last forever, so I'll switch to woven wire when I need to. I want to use electric netting in the non snowy months but will still have to perimeter fence around that. We lose our power a lot!

Thats what i do...run hotwire our buck rubs up and down the fence if we dont.

I know you did, unforetunately we will just be buying our farm this year so we are limited. Atm the fencing with woven wire, hotwire, and posts will cost us in excess of $10,000 plus gates.

10,000???
